The Danish Girl Storyline
Copenhagen, 1926. Danish artist, Gerda Wegener, painted her own husband, Einar Wegener (Eddie Redmayne), as a lady in her painting. When the painting gained popularity, Einar started to change his appearance into a female appearance and named himself Lili Elbe. With his feminism passion and Gerda's support, Einar - or Elbe - attempted one of the first male-to-female sex reassignment surgery, a decision that turned into a massive change for their marriage, that Gerda realized her own husband is no longer a man or the person she married before. A childhood friend of Einar, art-dealer Hans Axgil (Matthias Schoenaerts), shows up and starts a complex love triangle with the couple. Written by Gusde
The Danish Girl User Reviews : It should be a splendid and even excited story about the person who accepted the first trans-gender surgery with numerous elements as mysterious, ecstasy, fear, inner conflict and the outside society.
However, the whole movie pays too much attention to the costumes and landscape. Of course it means it presents a wonderful visual beauty. When I was watching, I always kept what they wore in mind and determined to shop some vintages store.
While on the other hand, the story itself became even boring. I don't know why Lily is always crying and how she wants to be a woman. Becoming a woman is not just about wearing pretty dresses and making up herself and flirting good looking men. Self-consciousness, why I must become a women, should be explore in a more deep way.
To be honest, I am quiet disappointed.
