If I had to describe the films of Tom Hooper, I suppose it would be the films are like white elephants. Painfully tasteful, devoid of personality, overloaded with asymmetrical framing, glossy images, and emotionally detached, I do not respond well to them. If I can avoid them, I do, but I committed to watching the nominees in the major Oscar categories again this year, and had to endure this. ... read more

Thoughts Before I Watched This:
1. Times are still hard for transgendered people these days so it should be interesting to see what it was like in the very beginning.
2. I've always thought Eddie Redmayne had a sort of feminine look about him.
3. I'm sure after this I'm going to adore Alicia Vikander even more.
4. It's based off a novel that's based off of a real person.read more

Since then, the guy has become a hot commodity and, a year later, he showed up in this other high profile pr... read more

Description: Inspired by the true story of Danish artists Einar Wegener and his wife Gerda, this tender portrait of a marriage asks: What do you do when someone you love wants to change? It starts with a question, a simple favor asked of a husband by his wife on an afternoon chilled by the Baltic wind while both are painting in their studio. Her portrait model has canceled, and would he mind slipping into a pair of women's shoes and stockings for a few moments so she can finish the painting on time. "Of course," he answers. "Anything at all." With that, one of the most passionate and unusual love stories of the twentieth ... (more)

"Herkese hitap etmeyen ve yavaş bir tempoda devam eden klasik bir biyografi filmi. Film ağır temposu ile sizi sıkabilir ve sonunda ise çok etkilenmediğinizi hissedebilirsiniz.Çünkü konusu itibari ile de hem cesaret isteyen bir konuya hemde bazı kesimlerce hoş karşılanmama durumuna neden olabilir. Ama filmde Başrölü oynayan Eddie Redmayne ve Alicia Vikander'ın performansları en üst düzeyde. Özellikle de Eddie Redmayne resmen yine rolün kendini vermiş diyebilirim. Biyografi"
