Action Biography Drama History Romance

7.1 / 10

Copenhagen, Denmark, 1926. Einar Wegener (played by Eddie Redmayne) and his wife Gerda (Alicia Vikander) are a happily married couple. Both are artists, Einar preferring landscapes and she portraits. One day Einar poses for a portrait of Gerda's while wearing a dress. This is initially done as a lark, as is the later attendance at a party dressed as a woman. However, Einar soon discovers that she is in fact a woman and over time prefers being Lili. At first she and Gerda try to have her situation "cured" but this leads nowhere (other than to many doctors trying to have Lili locked up as a pervert and/or lunatic). Her voyage of self-discovery will ultimately lead to her undergoing the first ever sex-change operation.

This movie is so brilliantly done, Redmayne playing role of a male painter who finds himself to be somebody he's not inside.. but i think the movie was more of a focus on how the wife Vikander's character has to learn to accept this, all she sees is her husband, not Lilly.. to her Lilly neber existed just her husband.. and when he explains to the doctor his feelings about being a women, she supported the decision of his cuz she supported her husband, like she says he was her whole life... so i would think that the movie truly sets itself to the feelings of Vikander's character.. idk just my analysis, i could be wrong only seen the mobie once so with more time i can get more in depth plus Eddie Redmayne just truly has a skilled for acting.. one of my favorite movies is. "The Imitation Game" and i think he could of made a great Alan Turing, even though Benedict Cumberbatch played the role well... i want to see more of him play these serious roles more than that of "Fantastic Beasts" - @Monday, July 17, 2017 10:23 PM

but the religion of ann coulter types generically (my supposition and opinion nothing known her) producing Donald Trump masculine insecure mysogynist angry god complex desparate for recognition love appreciation needing to show everyone himself, these things all just personal supposition and opinion, are not only the nazi culture and religion as id'd in Oz but gay males are MORE "mascu." all the while women are mostly/virtually entirely at least partially gay. Search: independent.co.... Women are never straight - they are either gay or bisexual, study suggests Most women who say they are straight were aroused by videos of both naked men and naked women Gay males are MORE masculine: search: jock danish 695142 Jock male mean... bbc a finger on sexuality - @Wednesday, February 8, 2017 3:21 AM

Stop trying to normalise this.. "identifying" with something that you're not is not scientifically normal. It's actually a psychological disorder. This film is merely a propaganda piece to promote this sort of behaviour. Population control simply put. - @Thursday, February 4, 2016 12:56 AM
