Love on the Edge - A Commentary on the Theme of the Film "Lawrence of Two Sides"

In today's increasingly enlightened society, the emotions of people on the fringes are getting more and more attention. The transition from discrimination to equal treatment also represents the progress of a society and a country. Giving them help and encouragement is also the greatest respect of all people for love. The film tells the story of Lawrence facing himself calmly and looking for true love after following his inner will for many years to change, and presents the audience with a vivid, three-dimensional and highly individualized marginal character image. Xavier Dolan gave Lawrence an ordinary character from his unique perspective, and vividly portrayed the entanglement and contradiction in the character's heart. Director Dolan's films are accustomed to telling stories in slow speed, and every frame of footage has become an unbearable beauty under the editor's hands. The longer duration than ordinary movies can not only show more details, but also express the inner suffering of the protagonist. Lawrence's life has changed dramatically because of the revealing of his true character. The abandonment of the family and the company made Lawrence fall from a stable social position in an instant, but at first, the persistence of his girlfriend gave Lawrence great encouragement and support again. Deranged gender exists in the normal body to form a distorted emotion, but in fact this emotion is common to all people. People are always accustomed to looking for the extremes of marginal characters, but they ignore the same emotions and personalities as ordinary people. The director did not vindicate the marginal characters, but only expressed their real life through the artistic means of the film. Lawrence's feathered earrings in the film symbolize angel wings, highlighting both the feminine features of his character and the pure angelic love he seeks. The persistence of his girlfriend to the point of being shaken and eventually parting ways, brought up twists and turns to Lawrence, but in the end, the relationship between the two ended in the autumn. The wrong seeds are planted from the beginning, and one day they will sprout. The chaotic love isolates the two people from reality, making the audience sigh the twists and turns of the protagonist's love.

    I don't like it at all, especially the heroine and makeup.

    Since when did you stop loving? Still in love? Dolan uses sound, color, light, shadow, tight editing and shaky hands to awaken the restless factor in the audience's heart, those who are ashamed to speak, let loose, empathize with, and go against the grain. And his inability to choose and choose from the overflowing material also stems from his restless desire to express. He can't accurately judge the weight and texture of the film segment, so his film is more like a smudged paint, losing the perceptible edge, to the audience, it is like a blind person touching an elephant, whether it is a surprise or a loss; whether it is a hit or a photo It all depends on fate. That's why Dolan excels at issue rather than drama.
