I have to say that I think the director is too good at shooting women. After watching "Portrait of a Burning Woman", I have become interested in her all the time. She is good at capturing girls' micro-expressions, women's feelings about love, and there are no men in her films. The point of view, the meticulous control of the emotions between the girls and the girls, and the overall style of the film are also perfectly controlled.
After watching it, I really like the overall style and rhythm of the film, but I still want to say that if the logic of the story is better, there is no problem with 8.5 in this film.
The most confusing thing about this film is that Laura's gender cognition, from her sister showing off Laura to her friends, and Laura's various behaviors at the beginning, after taking a shower and looking at herself in the mirror, you can clearly find that She is transgender, she doesn't understand why she has a girl's body, she is puzzled, she is afraid, I see someone saying that she is bound by society, in order to integrate into the group, it's too bullshit, Laura came from a little boy Nature, choose to play with boys, the director repeatedly compared with her and her sister to tell Laura that she is transgender.
However, when Susan and Laura were together, she saw that Laura did not reject her female identity, and even turned to gender cognitive impairment. She still retained some characteristics of a girl, but Susan said that I think you Unlike other boys, so she started pretending to be a boy to be with Susan, playing basketball with shirtless, learning to spit, learning a boy's penis just because Susan wanted her to go swimming, here Laura It's a bit contradictory. The pursuit of gender has changed directly from active to passive. Susan shouldn't be the one who made Laura like being a girl, but their makeup doesn't make sense. I think if Laura treats her girl Identity is not exclusive, so the title should be explained first, and then until she meets Susan, she likes Susan, but she feels that she can't use her identity as a girl, so she hides it for her, I think this logic is smooth, and it goes to The director is best at describing the field of girls' love.
Then Laura shouldn't be transgender or gender cognitively impaired, she's a complete tomboy, a box of tomboys who don't like girls, after falling in love with Susan, and trying to set herself as a male, was discovered After being understood by Susan, Laura was reborn and chose to know her truest self. She is not a boy or a girl, she is Laura.
