In the movie "The Danish Girl", I have to admire Eddie Redmayne for playing Lily Elby too real, and Alicia Vikander played Gerda, which made people move her love and dedication to Lily. The film focuses on the performances of the actors, their wonderful performances, which move the audience's emotions, and the pictures shot throughout the film, with the taste of landscape paintings, present Copenhagen in the 1930s.
The plot ups and downs of "Danish Girl" also affect the relationship and emotions of the four actors, and the four characters in the film each have their own unique emotional views. And the emotional view of the four of them is actually forbidden love.
Henrik (played by Ben Whishaw)
In the first time Aina Wegener wore women's clothes and appeared in social occasions as Lily, Henrik was attracted to her and kissed her at the moment, Gerda saw this scene and felt uncomfortable, and then Aina Wegener used Lily's identity to meet Henrik, in a Henrik's home, Henrik made a passionate gesture, but shouted Aina's name instead of Lily, making Lily leave. It can be seen here that Henrik and Lily have different sexual orientations, Henrik is gay, but Lily is not. Henrik liked Aina rather than Lily, who wanted to change sex.
Hans (played by Matthias Schönell)
The first kiss to Aina was hans, a playmate as a child, who had always been the person Lily wanted to meet the most, and later in Paris, Aina appeared as Lily to meet Hans, but Hans was not a bisexual, perhaps naughty and playful, and was beaten by adults, so that his values of sexuality were established.
The emotions released by his meeting with Aina in Paris were like old friends and brotherly friendships, but his eyes were attracted to Gerda, but Gerda was after all a human wife, the wife of a friend. Hans is emotional about Gerda, but Gerda only borrows Hans's shoulder to release emotions when he is vulnerable. Hans's affection for Gerda has the smell of waiting.
Gerda (played by Alicia Vikander)
The most dramatic emotion of "The Danish Girl" should belong to Gerda, when her beloved Aina appears Lily, Lily becomes more and more prominent, Aina will disappear, and Gerda's mood is quite complicated.
She likes to draw people, Lily became her best model, but also took away her beloved. When Aina is forced to treat sexual orientation, he sadly says that it will destroy Lily, "this is not my body", Gerda gradually let go, but also transfers love to Lily, seemingly from the opposite sex to Lily's same-sex love, in essence her love is beyond gender emotions, there is love and affection combined into feelings. Alicia Vikander played the emotionally awkward role, which won the 2016 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Lily Elby (played by Eddie Redmayne)
The protagonist of "Danish Girl", Lily, is completely loyal to her ideas, emotionally, she chooses to love herself, she falls in love with the soul that truly belongs to Lily, and she wants to be a woman, not a painter.
From the first time she wore women's clothes and liked the touch of silk, the female mind in her body was ignited one by one, she learned women's movements and caresses, and soon she could naturally exude the smell of women (Eddie Redmayne is really good at acting, and that kind of acting is not a vulgar pseudo-girl performance, but a bit of a spiritual level to bring out the female atmosphere).
At the end of the "Danish Girl" movie, using a dramatic technique, when Lily says in Gerda's arms, "I am finally myself..." and then closes her eyes and dies, the scene makes Lily feel reluctant to be herself. At the end of the play, the scenery of the fjord, the hometown that Aina liked to paint most, is full of image interpretation, and the scarf that surrounded Gerda's body before Lily's life was blown up by the wind and floated in the air...
