Everything that doesn't kill me makes me stronger. - Nietzsche
In recent years, the excellent works of transgender people, "The Danish Girl" and "The Tight Cracks of Life", are either heartbreaking or gentle and long.
A recent grim work speaks to the pain and toughness of transgender people.
The film won the Silver Bear Award for Best Screenplay and the Teddy Bear Award for Best Film at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival.
Transgender Marina (Daniela Vega) originally had a warm and happy life. But the unexpected death of her boyfriend Orlando left her without an umbrella.
Social discrimination is like a knife, and Marina retreats step by step.
Officers questioned her relationship with Orlando, wanton invasion of privacy and degrading personality.
Orlando's son Bruno bursts in, rudely asking about the scars on his father's body.
Doctors had given the Orlando family the autopsy report, but Bruno pointed the finger at Marina.
Roughly kicked her out of the apartment and took the dog Orlando had given her.
Even jokingly said: "I just want to find out what you are."
Orlando's ex-wife Sonia pretended to go back to her ex-husband's car and deliberately asked Marina to see her.
Sonia came over with arrogance and sharp eyes.
With sword and gun, take the initiative to provoke.
"I think your behavior is perverted"
"Now that you're standing in front of me, I don't know if you're a man or a woman."
"It's a chimera, no doubt about that."
Full screen contempt.
With disgust in his eyes, he categorically refused Marina's request to attend the funeral.
When Marina actually showed up at the funeral, Sonia showed a hideous face.
The injuries escalated, and Orlando men kidnapped Marina into the car, taped her mouth, and abused her.
The female police officer forced an inspection of Marina's body with unbridled eyes.
The film uses an objective lens to show Marina's insults, and a calm lens to show Marina's patience.
She endured all the humiliation calmly, with a miserable look in her eyes.
She choked when no one was there, standing against the wind.
Body shaming was her tipping point.
The duct tape abused by Orlando's men was the last straw that broke her.
Aina is accompanied by Gerda in "The Danish Girl", and Lunzi has the protection of her boyfriend Zhengnan in "Life is Closed".
And Marina is lonely, facing the cold of the world alone.
She missed Orlando, the man who wanted to take her to see Iguazu Falls, who admired her beauty, picked her up from get off work, and took care of her meticulously.
The film shows Marina's sad thoughts, dreamy and calm.
She sees Orlando at the bar, sees Orlando in the bathroom, kisses Orlando in the hallway of the funeral home...
The blurred colors are like a dream, reflecting the cold reality-Orlando will not be back...
Marina can only rely on herself, which is also the most important lesson for transgender people to face society.
Time to get started.
When she stood on the roof of the car in Orlando, spread her arms and shouted to the distant sky, she saw how she dominated her life.
Actually, Marina just wanted to return the dog that Orlando sent.
Then, go to the funeral home and say goodbye to Orlando, completely end the relationship and start a new life.
On the stage, Marina was still in high spirits.
Maybe she will meet contemptuous eyes in the future, but she has become stronger.
Aina is as fragile as a leaf that falls when touched, and Lunzi's gentleness is like a spring breeze.
Marina is like a stubborn little beast, her stern eyes reveal strength and wisdom.
She has a complete and independent personality, independent economic and social circle, which is her powerful weapon against the hostility around her.
It also proves that she is no different from an ordinary woman.
People can't get rid of bullying people who are weaker than themselves and isolating abnormal individuals. Not only does it exclude same-sex and transgender people, but school bullying is not uncommon, even in adult society.
In the Japanese drama "Naoki Hansawa", the weak and mediocre Kondo is pinched by his boss and colleagues. His career is difficult, and his colleagues are ridiculed and isolated.
Understanding and accepting trans people requires more people to understand them, to realize that they are no different from ordinary people, and the tragedy is that God has played a cruel joke on them.
However, we are all just containers for our souls.
Equality of all living beings is for all people, not giving up one person.
