My opinion
As a big fan of Eddie Redmayne this film was a
must for me. I watched the trailer several times before going and couldn’t wait
to see it.
The movie touches a sensitive and delicate
topic. Lili Elbe or rather Einar Wegner is born as a man, but inside feels he’s
a woman. Things that have happened in his childhood show clear signs and when
his wife Gerda uses him as a female model, Lili is born again. The movie iss et
in the 20s, so you can imagine that it was a never heard of topic back then.
Einar starts dressing up as Lili and goes to
events as her. He feels that something is wrong with him and wants to change
it. The doctors however, all say that is crazy, mental and schizophrenic.
Through all this he always had his wife Gerda
by his side. Her love is beyond anything you can imagine. It must have been so
hard for her, but she stuck by his side.
After a long time they finally find a doctor
and Einar/Lili agrees to be operated into a woman.
Both main actors did an incredible job. Eddie
Redmayne was an amazing woman. His movements and emotions were spot on. His up
for an Oscar again, so fingers crossed. Alicia Vikander is a very talented
actress. The feelings of her character came across beautifully.
There were some incredibly captured pictures
in this movies, whether it’s from characters or sights. It kind of brought the
viewer closer to the story. The Danish Girl is a very touching, emotional and
deep movie, full of love, drama and tears.
I would definitely recommend this movie. It’s special
and unique.
