Danish

I'm writing this as I finish the final 20 minutes of The Danish Girl.  

Wow.  Just... wow.  

It's so hard to explain what I'm going through right now.  And it's so beautiful to see transgenderism portrayed so well, for someone who has not been exposed to it much.

Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander deliver equally strong performances, encapsulating their screen times so fully when it was their time.  Both are wonderful artists and the movie offered the most breathtaking of scenery from and around Copenhagen.

Not wanting to spoil the ending, but the relationship developed between Einar and Gerda Wagener constantly shifts as the movie progresses, and it was immensely touching.  

It reminded me of Alan Turing's relationship with Joan Clarke from The Imitation Game, played by Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightly respectively.  Such a wonder, how two minds could share their brilliance and have each other's company under the veil of matrimony.

It was the complete opposite of a quote I had came across:

"You look to your best friend and can't help but be extremely happy, knowing that, one day, someone will be so madly in love with them".

Coincidentally, May 17th is International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia.  Promise it was a coincidence.
