Albert, who has always been lonely, thinks there is no one like her. Until the appearance of Peggy, Peggy was also a woman disguised as a man just like her. The difference is that Peggy has a home and a wife. Peggy's life gave Albert a template, a way of life that was more acceptable to the world. He was still a man, with a shop, a home, and a wife. In fact, Albert never thought of having a wife before, and the hostess of the tobacco shop in his original dream was himself.
With this template, this blueprint for life, Albert began to pursue Helen...a ridiculous pursuit, at this time Albert didn't love Helen at all, she just needed a wife, just like a clock on a fireplace .
A typhoid fever struck, killing hundreds of people in the town. Albert escaped, but Peggy's wife tragically passed away. Albert came to visit Peggy and learned that Peggy's wife had passed away, and offered to take her place and live with Peggy, but Peggy refused. Unlike Albert, Peggy accepts that she is a man, that she loves her wife, and that she is truly gay. Peggy finds two women's outfits to put on for Albert and herself. Albert, dressed in women's clothes, ran on the beach with her arms outstretched. Her suppressed nature for many years was finally released. Albert had never been so happy in the whole film. She was a woman, from body to heart, and always. Both are. But after a short period of happiness, Albert fell into silence. As Peggy said, "You are you, you don't have to be someone else." From then on, Albert understood that he had to make a choice.
Would Albert continue to date Helen if he hadn't heard about the quarrel between the shopkeeper and Helen, if he hadn't heard that Helen and the child would be abandoned? One of Albert's choices may save the fate of an outcast and illegitimate child. I always felt that if the quarrel hadn't been heard, Albert would have gone back to the old days, saving money to open a shop and become a woman.
------------Dividing line--------------
Sometimes a small thing, a small move, like the butterfly effect, can change a lot. A hug from Helen, maybe make something clear (a kiss is not as good as a hug), Albert loves Helen. Since when? unknown. Maybe it started with this hug. It was because of love that Albert cried so sadly.
The climax of the film is also the end, Albert for the head-on conflict between Helen and Joe..., the injured Albert lay back on the bed. It has never been so peaceful and peaceful, and she saw the living room that she had dreamed of thousands of times, the warm sunlight, the clock on the fireplace, no one disturbed... just like the little girl selling matches, in the dreamland of burning matches , died.
Helen gave birth to a son and named him Albert, but he would have a different life from Albert...
Since then, he suddenly discovered that whether Albert was gay or not doesn't matter at all. What do you think?
