The Danish Girl (2015)

Copenhagen, 1926. Danish artist, Gerda Wegener, painted her own husband, Einar Wegener (Eddie Redmayne), as a lady in her painting. When the painting gained popularity, Einar started to change his appearance into a female appearance and named himself Lili Elbe. With his feminism passion and Gerda's support, Einar - or Elbe - attempted one of the first male-to-female sex reassignment surgery, a decision that turned into a massive change for their marriage, that Gerda realized her own husband is no longer a man or the person she married before. A childhood friend of Einar, art-dealer Hans Axgil (Matthias Schoenaerts), shows up and starts a complex love triangle with the couple

Um show do Eddie Redmayne e da Alicia Vikander. O par funciona, a química é brutal e o amor dos dois é genuíno aos olhos de quem vê. Um filme sereno (talvez muito parado para alguns), comovente e muito, muito inspirador. A luta de um homem que nasceu, e morreu, para ser mulher.

Einar Wegener: I love you, because you are the only person who made sense of me. And made me, possible.
