EveryBody(2023)的影評
No Balls to Unpack All of That in This Economy
It was very hard to hold in all the shivering and the crying throughout the film, and I felt my anger and my confusi ...
學習了一些新知識，并有些emotional。破除“正常”的迷思任重道遠……
對于一個從來不曾了解過的群體有了新的認知，影片裡的這三位主角某種程度上既是不幸又是幸運的，但他們真的是勇敢的。96年那十個人的聚會真的有力量且有遠見啊！
We need more of this. 其實結構在紀錄片裡不算清晰的，但是故事本身比講法更重要。
影片裡命運最悲慘結局最凄涼的竟然是一個非intersex的人…和一代代遭遇過不公、非議、屈辱，然後一起站出來奮力抗争的intersex們血淚換來的自洽和階段性勝利形成了慘痛的對比，更加凸顯出這個不合理手術和相關缺失的倫理審查帶來的痛苦和屈辱。看得我非常揪心…尤其是在現在全球都趨于保守化的倒退苗頭下…希望未來會更好，希望每個人都可以不被定義，希望這不僅僅是一個希望。
