Heartwarming, unclassifiable

In fact, when watching the movie, the translation team translated the name of the movie into "My Slim Dad", which is easy for everyone to misunderstand as another classic Robin Williams movie, or even earlier Dustin Hoffman's same. The classic "Baby", but the content and connotation of this one are by no means the same as the first two. I still like his original name, "Crossing America".
If I didn't tell me this was an American film, I'd definitely watch it as a European film, which tells the story of transgender people in a warm romantic comedy style, firmly doing what I believe will do no harm to others It's understandable and even cute. The protagonist is a man who looks like a woman, taking estrogen, wearing prosthetic breasts, talking like a woman, and wearing women's clothes. But such an old man is ready to change gender, and his desire is so strong. This is what I find confusing. What is even worse and more confusing is that because of the needs of the plot, another unplanned son born with a woman appeared more than ten years ago. , this plot also makes me think it's a European movie, a lot of it is incredible, there are similar plots in Almodovar's "About My Mother", although I admit that these are good movies, but I still don't quite understand, Why would there be a woman who likes a man who is almost a woman and wants to have sex with him, give birth to a child for him, even this man wears breasts, wears a thick foundation, prostitutes outside, and may have AIDS, top Fangirls don't seem to have this hobby either. Most of these terrible plots belong to "About My Mother" (in fact, it is also a very heart-warming movie. I have watched it for a long time, and maybe I will write some words to commemorate it in the future. ), this movie has no scary plot except for being absurd. Anyway, at least I didn’t think it was scary. Maybe many people thought it was scary. A middle-aged man (about to become a woman) who was eagerly preparing for sex reassignment surgery suddenly appeared The son who escaped from the shadow of sexual harassment by his stepfather, occasionally made a cameo appearance as a prostitute for middle-aged men (I don’t know if this is punishment or redemption, there really is such a thing in the world, I think this plot is like Fassbender’s script), The great ideal is to be a gay porn star (later after a little hardship and disappointment, although it is not as good and beautiful as imagined, this ideal has finally come true, father and son or mother and son look at each other and smile, this is the most rare part of this film, Tolerance is the virtue among all the virtues of human beings), a warm, funny and even absurd road journey, people on the edge and hearts on the edge, a little closer, occasionally broken, and finally approaching, although cliché, it makes people look comfortable . Almost no one in the movie looks hateful, all of them are cute, the protagonist's family, father, mother, and sister, weird and cute, sex-change surgery doctor, dedicated and lovely, the Indian old man who fell in love with the protagonist, honest So calm and cute, even the teenager who stole the car and wallet, the client who met in the bathroom, and the lollipop LOLITA in the bar, all became cute because of their seductive eyes. If you have a tolerant heart, I think you will fall in love with this cuteness the warm movie, otherwise
