The many possibilities of love,

laurence anyways, was translated into
the first film I watched at the 16th Lawrence Film Festival. There were only a few people in the Hengshan Cinema. When there were no tickets at all, there were only the last few tickets left. There is a feeling of being deceived. The 3-hour set will be used to describe a story spanning 10 years. It seems that every detail of the mood at the time must be clearly described in order to be worthy of the life course.

[Competition between the two sexes]
35-year-old Laurence was celebrating his birthday with the blessing of his friends. He said to his girlfriend: I always wanted to be a woman. That sentence is very classic, and it appears in the mouths of characters on different occasions: I am a woman's soul living in a man's body.

In the 1990s, cross-dressing was listed as a mental illness in the United States, and how can we deny its existence to those things we don't know yet. If its existence is dangerous, that's another issue.

Facing a laurence who pretends to be masculine, fred falls in love with his appearance. This lie is a joke to everyone. fred has a nervous breakdown and feels deceived. Laurence aside, "I didn't deceive you, I just didn't say it."

The lovers who meet in the future must ask the question "Is your psychological and physical gender the same?" How

far can you love someone ? , love his soul has nothing to do with his gender identity and age. Why is it rejected? Because I can't stand the probing eyes of others.

fred even thought that he could become a man so that he could be with laurence.

There is a very interesting scene, Laurence started to make up under the guidance of fred, looking at Laurence who is covered in female posture, and even produced a sense of same-sex competition. fred asked Laurence why he didn't use a big mirror, he replied "I know what I look like". So if it is changed to love between the same sex, whether the same sex will have a sense of rivalry, because it is a similar trait. But then again, even if there is a sense of species competition between the opposite sex.

【Love you more than yourself】
Laurence thought, if you love me, you should make me what I want, even if it is acceptable to me.
fred means that if you love each other and care about each other, you will not do anything that will make him sad.

Self and cherished people, there is no complete win-lose situation.




I really like the soundtrack, and the heavy eye shots in the film. Doubt, bewilderment, surprise, contempt... all kinds. The electronic conflict is just right.
