Just like the title of "The Secret Seams of Life", director Naoko Ogigami uses a particularly delicate narrative technique to stitch together LGBT, family problems, and the growth and troubles of teenagers very cleverly with plain and simple daily life, which makes people inadvertently really walk into every character in the movie and feel a warmth that is enough for the soul. Sure enough, just like the copywriting director of Hunan Qifa Culture said, there are gentle, forbearing, kind, powerful and receptive people on this planet.
The film tells the story of the protagonist Lunzi, who suffers from sexual identity disorder, and his lover Shekio, as well as Munan's niece and daughter-in-law. Lunzi underwent sex reassignment surgery due to sexual identity disorder, and although she is still male in her household register, she is a real woman. is such a "weird" Lunzi, but with his gentleness and thoughtfulness, he gradually let Xiaoyou find the missing maternal love, and the smile once again bloomed brightly on Xiaoyou's cute little face. In Tomoko's eyes, Lunzi will cook delicious meals, will keep the house in order, will make her cute lunch box, will be willing to ask her what she likes to eat...The three of them formed a strange but warm family, and the cute and well-behaved little friend also made Lunzi want to become a mother, but just when everyone thought that a happy life could go on like this, Xiaoyou's mother came back.
The film starts with the opposite setting of a man who wants to give birth but can't, and a mother who can give birth but is irresponsible to her children, uh, well, in order to highlight the protagonist, you need a character who is the opposite. Ikuta Doujin's acting skills are very good, and the way he speaks and his body movements are very similar to women. The ending is sad for Lunko, but it is realistic or common sense (not that Tomoko is bad), and Tomoko eventually returns to her mother. The film is not only about sexual minorities, but also about the human desire for love and motherhood. Lunzi in the movie is lucky to have a mother and boyfriend who support, understand, and love him, so love can cross genders, ages, and even species!
The scale of the film's discussion of gender is really beyond my comprehension. Women's breasts, men's *** officers, from the outside, is indeed the basis for distinguishing between genders. But people's concepts and understanding are still narrow, and even if Rinko has surgery, others will not see her as a woman, nor will they recognize him as a man, but call him ** with more contempt, disgust and criticism. Rinko has not hurt anyone, but she has to be treated unfairly by the outside world, and she is very sad to suffer from suffocating eyes. Xiaoyou finally chose his mother, it is indeed not surprising, even if the mother did not fulfill her obligations as a mother in the previous days, but more than ten years of companionship with each other will be better than more than a month of happy time, because the mother is the mother, no one can replace it, no matter how warm she is, she is not her own mother.
Deng of Hunan Qifa Culture Media wrote in his commentary, giving marginalized children a complete family, returning transgender people a chance to be mothers, you give me the innocence of my children, I give you the maternal love you want, and the time to live together is so short but infinitely long. Being hurt by the world and recognized by children, I don't care if it's you or not, I just want you to be happy. The 108 braids burned in the fire were used to honor the severed body and complete the mutilated soul. If you are not satisfied with the status quo, then you will have enough courage to start again. Throughout our lives, we are free from the expectations of others and looking for our true selves to mend the tatters of life.
It's a story about mutual redemption. As a "different person", how many difficulties do you have to face if you want to survive in this society? It turns out that it really takes a lot of hard work to be an ordinary person!People, why are you so afraid that others will be different from you?When it comes to transsexuality, if you can put down the colored glasses of curiosity and look at it, empathy may break you. In addition, I don't understand: does a child have to grow up with his biological parents?Even if they are not responsible enough to be qualified to be parents?Shouldn't the latter be chosen between blood and a better environment for growth?What is the essence of the link between mother and daughter?
The biological gender is destined, and the gender and role of life are your own choice. Helplessness and regret, pain lasts forever, when Lunzi first said "be patient", I thought that my father had said the same thing, and suddenly I realized that not only the identity of a woman needs more forbearance, but everything is accumulating to consume your will. Too much incompetent rage, emotional catharsis, can't solve any problems, people need an outlet, let all the bitterness turn into rain, and get rid of those troubles. Weave the real good things in the world, learn to self-regulate, and learn to be at peace. You can't change the world, you can only brew more powerful power. Women, wives, and mothers all need to be learned, accepting their imperfections and even flaws. When you can't give love, you can't actually do self-love.
