The Danish Girl

When it comes to the movie I like, there is only one movie in my mind.

That is《The Danish Girl》.

This movie not only have great plot but also beautiful scene.

This is a movie which talk about the first transsexual in the world. In 1926, at Denmark, there is a painter couple named Einar and Gerda. One day, Gerda has a paint which deadline is almost coming, but her model has no time to come and help her. So Gerda ask her husband Einar wear the ballet skirt and stockings to be her model. And later on, Gerda has an art exhibition, she want Einar go with her, but because Einar is a famous painter and he don’t want to be stare so he refuse. Then, Gerda let Einar wear woman’s clothes. At the moment Einar cross-dressing, he become strange. Such like change into another person and inspire his mind that he want to be a woman. So his wife is really worried about him, and start to find out what wrong with his husband. Later, she find out Einar often cross-dressing and has a date with man. At that moment, she frightened and mad, so she told Einar he can’t do that anymore. So Einar has listen what Gerda said and they start to see a doctor to looking for what happen on Einar. But it can’t work, Einar can’t control his mind, all the thing is too late. So Gerda start to accept Einar which is a woman in his mind, and listening to Einar’s upset. One day, they find a doctor, who has been seen the same case before, and the doctor really know what happen on Einar. The doctor said that Einar is a real woman in his mind but he born in the wrong gender. And he can help Einar become the real woman, but that is a really danger surgery because it is easy to infection and there are no people did this surgery before. But Einar really want to be a real woman, so he doesn’t afraid of the risk and agree to do that surgery. Although Gerda was mad about that because it is danger, she can’t do anything instead support and stay with him. After the surgery, Einar become the real woman, and he change his named ‘Lily’ and use that name to live the new life for years. But the good circumstance don’t last long, at the least surgery Lily dead in transplant rejection.

 

I think Gerda is really a kind woman, and also greatest love. She not only need to face her husband become a woman but also stay, take care and support him. Although Einar’s courage is really need to be respect, in my point of view, the person who must obtain the most respect is Gerda. She is the much more great love person I have ever seen. Although the scene, tone and music are beautiful, I still think the most beautiful part is love between Einar and Gerda.
