Sean Baker's "Orange" (also translated "Transgender Talk" in 2015), when it debuted at the Sundance Film Festival, attracted a lot of praise. The soundtrack of the film is really Coke, it is clanging, and it collides like a headless fly, which is very rhythmic. What's more appetizing is that the director gave up the professional camera and used 3 "iphone 5s" to complete the shooting, without shaking, and the lens is extremely stable. Unprofessional shooting tools, but they can shoot professional images, which is really surprising. It also shows that in all artistic expressions, the outside is secondary, and the inner desire to create is the most important.
A not-so-glamorous corner of Hollywood is teeming with transgender prostitutes. Dani and Cindy are two of them. This pair of "iron buddies", wearing female wigs, have different temperaments. Dani is introverted and unassuming, always thinking of peace of mind in everything. And Cindy is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. Everything has to be won. She is ruthless, ruthless, and never loses.
In fact, Cindy had just been released from prison. On Christmas Day, when she heard her boyfriend Chester had an affair with a prostitute named Tina, she was furious and determined to dig them out one by one. Dani told her you can find them, but don't make trouble. On the way, Cindy disobeyed the advice, and Dani left in anger. Dani was always talking about a singing performance. Cindy searched and searched, and finally found Tina, a skinny white prostitute, beat and kicked, and led the general all the way to Chester.
Dani then met Razmik, an Armenian man who was driving a taxi. They were already related. Dani wanted him to go to see her sing at night and gave him a ticket. When Razmik came home, his mother-in-law and his wife were entertaining guests and praised the son-in-law for being diligent and working on Christmas. Razmik just wanted to get rid of his family, so he made the excuse that he would go out to solicit clients at night. My mother-in-law didn't understand, she had to go out for the holidays. Razmick came out and hurried to see it, but people said it was over.
In fact, before, Cindy took Tina to see Dani's singing performance, she sang a song, paid $20, and said goodbye. Dani satisfied her acting desires and vanity. Cindy did not complete the task. She has to find Chester. I actually found this damn Chester in a Chinese-owned "Donut Time Shop". As soon as they met, it was a strife.
During the noise, Razmik, who was downcast, saw them and came in unknowingly. At this time, his mother-in-law had to find the son-in-law she had concluded was lying. I actually found it in this store. At the same time, the truth is revealed. Turns out the son-in-law is gay. She hurriedly called her daughter to tell her about the startling discovery. The result, a melee. It came to an end when the Chinese female boss, Ma Sang, said that she would call the police.
Razmik's wife just wanted to live, and as long as her husband took care of the family, she didn't want to divorce. After all, she had a young daughter to support. More importantly, the hard life of immigrant made her dare not break up with her husband. And her almost collapsed mother accused her daughter of forgiving her husband's shameless behavior. Cindy and Dani, who were kicked out of the store, started to tear their faces because of Chester's omission. Chester said he had had an affair with Dani before, and Cindy was shaking with anger.
Transgender prostitutes can be described as "dual roles", transgender, or genetic, and more likely, to survive. But they are also human beings, with the same feelings. It's just that from an outsider's point of view, they make a fuss about their feelings, which is a bit funny. Dani wants Cindy to forgive her, saying it's only once. Cindy ignored her, but was urinated on her face by a passing man. Daniel took her to the laundry room, helped her take off her wig, and handed her his own to put on. The washing machine kept turning, just like their dark and constantly stirring life. In an unknown life journey, "good sisters" support each other, or more than anything.
The so-called "orange" is originally a mixed color, one is the skin color that appears on the outside, and the other is their own social role. In the rush of reality, orange is free from all colors, and only they know their pain and sorrow. It is not so much a choice for them as it is a color that was finally abandoned in desperation. It's just that this color exists in every corner of the world, or is covered up.
