There will be love and red wine

The roommate’s cute little purring made the night deeper. Recently, I am obsessed with watching movies in the dark. I need clear picture quality, romantic soundtrack, and beautiful women, so I can’t relax my mood any longer.
This is the first time I have watched Ou Rong’s movie. "New Girlfriend" may not be his best work, but the clean temperament is really fascinating, and the movement of the lens can naturally bring out the kind of life passing, misses and The sense of uneasiness is also wonderful.

I can accept transvestites, ambiguous sexual orientation, and multi-dimensional sexual relations, but this kind of topic is easy to get dirty in the film accidentally. Ou Rong is clever, setting the background of the story to be extremely simple and concise, or even a little too idealistic, perhaps because of this lack of real texture and thickness, but after getting rid of the risk of all kinds of miscellaneous branches, those restless and fragile beauty and love talents Can not be covered up. Privately thought that Ou Rong was taking this story like a baby and caring for it, knowing how dirty and cruel it would be pulled in the quagmire of reality, and how spoiled it was here.
Therefore, the scenery in the movie is beautiful; the family is generous; the relationship is stable; the lies that are explained a little bit will not be held accountable; after the truth is pierced by fate, it is given instead newborn. Except for the confusion and struggle in my heart, everything is tender and silent.

In the story, Lola's death is the beginning of the break of stability.
Claire loves Laura deeply. In the eyes of others, this love is called friendship. But her love, in the bottom of my heart, has long been beyond the scope of friendship. She saw Lola’s eyes with lust. She would fantasize about making love with Lola when she lay on her little bed. At first, she accepted David dressed as a woman because she could smell Lola’s on this woman. The smell of perfume, the shadow of Lola can be seen, she can't accept Lola's departure, and what she longs to do with this new girlfriend is what she longs for Lola.
Is Claire gay? No! She obviously loves her husband like a woman who only loves men. Is she bisexual? No! I think all the vocabulary trying to characterize it seems inappropriate here. In fact, she just loves. The man loves her husband, the woman loves her Lola. The appearance of Virginia rekindled the flame in her heart, but the intimacy that was ignited in the hotel and ended abruptly at the end proved that in a woman, the flame of her erotic desire can only be ignited for Laura, and this is full of Lola Shadow's new girlfriend can't be replaced. So in the end, when David can finally live as Virginia, she is Claire's new girlfriend, but she no longer has the meaning of Laura.

David, who is with Laura, occasionally works as a woman at home. He loves Lola deeply, and he said that Lola's femininity has filled his needs. But Lola died, and the void reappeared. He said, boys come out of cabbage, girls come out of flowers, and I was born in cauliflower. He wants to be a woman. He wants to wear sexy underwear like a woman, put on delicate lipstick, step on high heels, feel the wind passing through the legs in the skirt, and enjoy the man who treats him as a real woman, but he doesn’t like it. Men, he still only loves women. You can have sex with a woman in a male body, but in your heart he is her. The clearer he loves women, the more ambiguous his gender subject is.
Maybe because I am a woman myself, facing such a movie character, I will give birth to a lot of tenderness in my heart. The more you know how naturally you can do what you can do, the more you sigh for those who want to do it but are under tremendous pressure to do it in private. At this time, I am more grateful to Ou Rong for his tenderness. Because in reality, it’s not someone who has never seen a cross-dress. Although I can accept it, honestly speaking, I feel very disgusting in my heart, but Ou Rong took everything so beautifully! This can more or less clear the obstacles in people's minds and allow tolerance to grow.

Finally, the song "une femme avec toi" (une femme avec toi) sung by the cross-dress singer in the Amazon club in the movie is really good!
"You are as happy as an Italian, knowing that there will be love, there will be red wine, finally for the first time in this life I feel like a woman, a woman and a woman with you"

    Not bad, the story is relatively new

    Due to various social pressures, it is difficult for people to face their true self. Whether it's David, who is transvestite or gender identity disorder, or Claire, who is lesbian. The two dress changes in the film, the dress change in the morgue means awakening, and the dress change in the ward symbolizes rebirth. But the reality is cruel, how can challenging the world be as easy as a movie. Although the ending is good, I always feel that it is unfair to the heroine's husband Jill. The progress of human beings is to learn to tolerate more.
