Unofficial Film Review | Double-sided Laurence Anyways

The three-hour literary feature film took two days off and on to finish. The whole film is very tense and attractive, making people reluctant to turn it off. The film is aimed at the topic of gender and marginalized people. It tells that the hero Laurence has been living in the struggle of his own physical and psychological identity. At the age of 30, he plucked up the courage to start a transgender attempt. The new life is not easy, from being fired, not being understood by his family, being beaten and scolded for no reason on the street, to the conflict and separation between his beloved girlfriend Fred.

Laurence said he was a woman trapped in a man's body. He pointed to the muscles on his arm and said, "It's not me!" Pointing at the body: "It's not me either!" Pulling off his shorts: "And this, it's not I!"

Fred despairs: "So I love everything about you and you hate it?"

Laurence is even more desperate: "Do you just love my things?"

Also like "The Danish Girl", Fred finally decides to face what's going to happen next with Laurence. The following story seems to be more meaningful for promotion. Boyfriend sex change can be transformed into any ideological conflict and refined into the commonality of human emotions-the core behind those passionate love, disputes, shakes, metamorphosis and reconstruction, what is love? ?

It's easy to like a person because of the words he wrote, because of her inadvertent look back, those "zing" moments are like the embellishment in our lives. But loving someone is a relatively complicated issue, and it takes two souls to understand and fit each other in order to be able to talk about love. Laurence and Fred started out in love, starting from the paperclip butterfly when they met, to every crazy but agreeable like list. But in the end, Laurence chose to continue flying in the sky to write poetry, but Fred wanted to enter a stable life. No one is wrong, just different ways. It will always be us who destroy our love and our lives.

I don't know much about camera editing and shooting techniques. The only thing that impressed me was that when the hero and heroine broke up for the first time, a butterfly suddenly flew out of the hero's mouth. The second is when the heroine left the hero, found someone to marry and have children, and received a collection of poems from Laurence in her peaceful life. The moment she opened it, it suddenly rained like a waterfall in the living room. submerged. The butterfly that was hidden when they met turned out to have flown away when they separated for the first time, and the downpour brought by that book of poems was only a rain that never happened.

    Composition and color, frame by frame, Melville Popo I'm married!

    Red and hairstyle changes are used as clues throughout, the feather earrings in the left ear, the emotional hazards of wearing a wig to please her, the outbreak of the restaurant and the butterfly in the mouth when breaking up, the mother lifts the TV, wears headphones and writes to isolate the communication of the new girlfriend, thousands of miles Going past the door without getting into the paint, a pink brick, the Isle of black skirt of Taohuayuan fell from the sky, and the back of the purple windbreaker. Exquisite setting and empty connotation. So artificial. Make him empty my starry sky skirt in the early morning.

    [English subtitled version]

    Laurence Alia: [showing her a metal pin] Excuse me, miss. This may sound a little stupid, but... the guys over there made this. If you take it, I'll get $20.

    Fred Bellair: [taking and looking at the pin] What is it? Some kind of cloud?

    Laurence Alia: [laughing under his breath] No, it's a butterfly. But the fact you think it's a cloud minimizes my pleasure.

    Fred Bellair: You just made twenty bucks.

    Laurence Alia: Okay, here's the deal. $10 for gas, and $10 to buy you a drink after wrap. Hm? Deal?

    Fred Bellair: [thinking about it for a few seconds before offering her hand to shake] Fred Bellair.

    Laurence Alia: [shaking her hand] Laurence Alia.
