To Lawrence of the World

First of all, I have to give a knee to Doron! The movie is so beautiful, from the soundtrack, colors, shots, lighting, editing, to the storyline, the design, and everything I can't comment on, it's amazing! Offer your knees again.

And then there's Lawrence. So what exactly is gender? Distinguish human beings by genitals, plan the world reasonably, and make everyone's life in good order, OK, I accept. But there will always be people who will say no, like Lawrence. In 1989, Dolan must have his reasons for choosing the last century as the background. I can understand that there is Lawrence in every era. He is not a trend or a new new human in the 21st century, but exists after human beings appeared. , who is imprisoned by the noun gender. After watching the movie for nearly three hours, I wanted to summarize it, but I found it difficult. It gave me too much. I remember when Lawrence called his mother at Rose Baby's house after a fight with the fat man in the bar and said: I How can I face you before I figure out how to face myself. The gist is this, I suddenly burst into tears, caught off guard, experienced cross-dressing, unemployment, emotional changes, being suspected, etc., I can't tell what Lawrence paid to become himself.

And then there's Freda. The girlfriend of a man who wants to be a woman is as tangled as her name is. With her feet on the ground, Lawrence flew very high and didn't want to fall off, even if love could be reconciled. Love must be the union of the two sexes. This is another rule. Human beings are bound by their own rules. Little Buddha gave up Lawrence in order to bind himself. She has no regrets.

Finally, there's Lawrence at the end. The word double-sided is appropriate. Going back to the beginning or going to the future is essentially the same thing.

From the beginning to the end, I do not think that the word male or female should be used to define Lawrence, not gender cognitive impairment, not LGBT, but a brave person.

    The costumes in the film are simply exploding. The whole movie is simply decorative art. Dolan combines editing, costumes, screenwriters and directors. In fact, he can cross-border fashion design and interior decoration. The surreal slow motion in the film is super beautiful, and then Susan Clement's performance. Does Melville Popper play a masculine lesbian? Many Lan's love has transcended gender, and de-genderization is still very avant-garde. ★★★

    Xavier Dolan's third feature film, continuing his personal aesthetics, begins to rise to the confrontation between the marginalized and society. The much-criticized slow-motion has been restrained, and the narrative ability has also been significantly strengthened. For example, the stream of consciousness scene in "The Hours" is quite amazing, but the nearly 170-minute film length not only exposed his shortcomings in rhythm control, but also showed that he still A narcissist who doesn't know what to do with editing.
