The Danish Girl was an
incredible film loosely based on the lives and marriage of Danish artists Einar and Gerda Wegener. When Einar made
the brave transition to become a woman, Lili Elbe, she became one of the few pioneers
for transgender awareness in the 1920’s. Her story is one that still inspires
people to this day.
The
character development and script were remarkable but what was the most moving
about this film was the actor’s portrayals of these emotionally complicated
characters. The passion and depth that that these two actors, Eddie Redmayne as
Einar Wegener/Lili Elbe and Alicia Vikander as Gerda Wegener, were able to
evoke was brilliant and quite mesmerizing.
The Oscar buzz that this movie and these actors received was well deserved. Eddie and Alicia are quickly becoming a couple of my favorites to see onscreen. Both have had quite a few great movies as of late and this is just another added to their resume. I’d definitely recommend checking this one out.
