This movie was recommended to me by an UP. He introduced the color of the movie in detail, as well as the plot design. They are very ingeniously linked together. I was very curious, and then also more interested, probably That's right, I watched the movie with anticipation. He is actually one of Dolan's more meaningful films, and I have to admire his talent in photography, as well as his clear logic.
The story tells the story of a man who finally became a girl because of his spiritual pursuit. He and her girlfriend had choices and entanglements in their ten-year love. It may be more general love, regardless of gender.
The point that pokes me is that you can become a transvestite for your own dreams, not afraid of the eyes of others, and finally become a transgender story. It certainly took a lot of courage, but he did it, walking between schools (he was a teacher) in a dress, high heels and heavy make-up, on the avenues, and everywhere. At the same time, in the process of filming people around him seeing him, it reflects their psychological color, and those people showed unacceptable expressions and contempt. I was just thinking, oh my gosh! That was a great thing, shouldn't he be applauded for breaking through a barrier in his heart, shouldn't it be comforting for him? During the period, he was hurt in layers, but fortunately there were a group of lovely people who helped him, encouraged him, and told him not to give up.
His girlfriend also loves him very much. She protects him at all costs for Lawrence (the male protagonist), and suffers from everyone's cold eyes, but she still said, "If you become a woman, I will become your man." She That strong perseverance is estimated that very few people can be like her. For Lawrence, she scolded the staff in the large restaurant. Indeed, the quality of the staff is too low, saying, what kind of hobby do you wear women's clothes, it is an interesting profession I laughed, of course I was very angry, and scolded, wow, that scene was really cool, I left after scolding, I also wanted to swear in such a comfortable way.
In the process, he was disliked by her mother because he couldn't accept it at first, and he didn't tell his father. One day Lawrence was walking on the street, the snow was flying all over the sky that day, he was told by someone in the bar, and he even attacked him personally, Lawrence hit him on the head and walked on the street with a bloody head, crying, When he wanted to borrow the phone, everyone else avoided his clothes when they saw him. At this time, a cross-dresser who has the same hobby as him appeared, took him to the house, and asked him to call ☎️. At that time, I called my mother to complain to my mother. At that time, my mother no longer recognized him as a son, did not understand him, did not want to talk to him, and was very perfunctory. In order to take care of his sick and grumpy father, he hung up after a while. telephone. cry, it hurts! But the man comforted him and took him to a secret base, a place where no one would discriminate, and became friends with the people there. Special thanks to them for appearing, and also taught Lawrence a lot. One day later, my mother was going to a place, and Lawrence brought her birthday gift to see her. At this time, my mother began to understand her slowly. The most important gift was a little expensive, which made her understand that Lawrence is truly willing to sacrifice for this dream. everything. In the ending part, his mother chatted with him and said
"I don't think you are like my son"
"I also think you don't want my mom"
"I think you are more like my daughter"
The son smiled brightly and thanked his mother for his recognition.
Let's talk about his girlfriend again. Because his girlfriend received stimulation that day, she went to a luxurious ballroom in a sexy dress after taking a shower at night, and met a man who loved her. Over time, they gradually developed affection. After Lawrence found out, he began to regret not loving her and taking care of her during the cross-dressing period, but he still loves her very much. He may have overlooked a lot of things during this period, because he was really busy and kept talking with his heart. fighting. In this way, his girlfriend married the man and had a child of his own at the same time.
A few years later, my girlfriend received a book written by Lawrence (Lawrence is also a writer) who I don't know who sent it, and after reading it, she decided to go to Lawrence. Because Lawrence had been stalking them since his girlfriend left, his girlfriend knew how powerful Lawrence was. Although this is not good, I really admire it, after all, many years have passed. I found Lawrence in surprise. Lawrence also went to their home while her husband was working, kissed passionately, and wanted to elope with his girlfriend. His girlfriend didn't agree at the beginning, but he really loved him. So they eloped. It's carnival, it's happy. She explained to her husband the reason for her work and went out to shoot. Elope!
As for the reason for the girlfriend's departure, it starts with the quarrel during their elopement, which I think is the most intense part of the movie's plot. Since Lawrence is not his current girlfriend, I think he may be his current girlfriend. He saw them and told his girlfriend's husband. The husband's phone call made their anger and various emotions burn to the extreme. Despite their own disappointments over the years. Really, everyone can learn about it here. It can be regarded as a "famous scene" as the Internet calls it! It was super burning, I watched it over and over at least five times, and when I saw the last paragraph, tears were streaming down my face.
"I love you even more than my son"
'We should have had children of our own'
"What child!?"
Girlfriend stopped crying and said
"We should have our own children, but I was frightened by you at the time, I was afraid, so I made this decision without authorization..."
At that time, the tears could not stop flowing, and my heart also flowed, singing the magic of life.
By this time it was almost over, and they had met twice later.
The last time Lawrence showed up as a consultant where his girlfriend worked, she looked at the name list and said, you changed your name. (meaning Lawrence has been transgender)
"Yes, but anyway, I'm still Lawrence"
This is so great!
This movie is probably like this. There may be some plots that have not been written due to negligence for personal reasons, but I have to say that this is a very good work. I admire Dolan again. Maybe that was the way that society was at that time, and many things would not be accepted by everyone, because everyone didn't want to be that isolated side. But human beings are created equal, so why can't you follow your heart, find what you love, and pursue what you long for? Although at present, everyone may be limited by time and space, but as long as you have a dream in your heart and put it into practice, I think time will tell us what we really want!
However, what I have to complain about is that the movie is too long. I can't finish it all at once. I hope Dolan can edit it more concisely. It is true that there are many contents that are essential, but if it is more streamlined These may show the effects and skills of film and television more.
