Lack of argument and obscure support from Gerda

Rating: 7/10 (17 January 2016)

From the main start, gradually, Einar Wegener feels "uncomfortable" in his own body. It is obvious we all have to find what makes us joyful determining the paths to our "happy end" (if you are lucky enough). But what happens here is completely ambiguous. What an "unusual" decision from the main character and even more shocking from his partner, Gerda Wegener! One pursuing the painting-fame whereas the other, while helping for those futuristic treasures, discovers the real "who I am and who I want to be" according to its inner harmony. In a case scenario like this, Alicia Vikander acts courageously in useful way that helps her partner. Interestingly enough, she allowed him to become what he transforms later on in the movie and it was her who added more weight to his skeptical decision. Decision which changed her life completely and made her realize how things changed up. She had to impose her disagreement into her husband. After six years of marriage, we did not see any fight nor huge argument. How can you permit something that you foresee and know it will demolish your life? For the happiness to your beloved? She should has been more egoist and push her partner against it. This couples did not fight by that time? How come? Only mellifluous voices and sudden vanishings. Do not you realize your life is going to change in a disastrous way? Well, do something about it, do not let it go nor support it! Overall, it is an extraordinary story similar to The theory of everything or Still Alice. Well done by Tom Hooper but regarding the Oscars it will be hard against the beast of The Revenant.
