When Will Ferrell finds out his close friend of 30 years is coming out as a trans woman, the two decide to embark on a cross-country road trip to process this new stage of their relationship in an intimate portrait of friendship, transition, and America
i just can't stop thinking about how brave and open harper is. she was so willing to show her journey, to explain her thoughts to everyone and to face her fears. and will ferrell is a genuine good friend. you can see that he is there to just provide support for his friend instead of taking the stage. and together, it is very clear that they enjoy each other's company. i loved it every time they joked around. those are two very beautiful human beings, and of course they would create such a breathtaking documentary.
the resonance it stirred up within me, the amount of queer joy and pride, the hope -- all these emotions made my eyes tear up at least 5 times. i'm incredibly grateful that this piece of media exists.
also so nice to see all my snl favs in here being great friends with each other :')

刚看完这部公路片,一部讲????友情的故事,Will的30年的男性好友变成了trans girl,他陪她一路自驾穿越美国。从纽约出发,一路去了我所有耳熟能详的地方。Texas、新墨西哥州的Albuquerque、Las vegas、LA、洛杉矶,大峡谷,等等著名胜地。
因为我也环澳过的缘故,对公路片就太亲切了,也算是同好。电影每一处随着开车镜头????掠过的地名,就如同我在澳洲开过的一万公里环澳路程一样,只不过我看到的是Perth、Adelaide、Melbourne、Sydney、Newcastle,至今没去Brisbane和Alice Spring或Darwin,因为我知道这一万公里已经包含澳洲90%的精华,也没有多少土生土长的澳洲人一个人开车环澳自驾过。
这部公路片感人的地方是对友情的阐述,他们一路自驾美国是process the new stage of their friendship and reintroduce Harper to tthe country she loves。
剧里与路人平凡又温馨的对谈很感人,又觉得Trans girl在美国能做自己真好,当然在Texas是不可能的,还是在网络上和现实里被骂很惨。
看完电影????也更加强烈的有了两个人自驾长途旅行的想法,身边很多朋友跟我说过,如果一起走完这么长的旅途友情要么愈加坚固,要么就大几个月不会再联系。 我一直想有个人和我一起从悉尼开到北领地,去艾尔斯岩(乌鲁鲁),去北领地看鳄鱼????、看澳洲outback最原始的风貌,看是不是比西澳我呆过的地方土著人更多,体验这一路上到底和珀斯开到悉尼有什么不同。
我也知道这一路可能会有很多艰难困苦,感觉一起走完这趟旅途下来的人,简直可以原地结婚????
我预感总有天会实现的,不是在澳洲,就是在世界某一处:)
电影????里讲Trans girl的内容很真实打动人,作为一个少数群体,世界上也就几个少数国家能实在这种相对的平等、不歧视、快乐和自由吧。美国已经是最开放的国家之一了,但依然,在德州被骂得那么惨,少数群体的权益不知道在地球上能和大群体等同的那天何时能来到。

初看《Will and Harper》的预告片,我被其轻松幽默的基调所吸引,尤其是那句“Are you a worse driver as a female driver?”的玩笑。然而,这部影片的真正价值,远非止于此。尽管片中笑点不多,但它对于跨性别议题的真诚探索,令人印象深刻。
对我而言,这部电影的意义超过一部普通纪录片,它帮助我理解了身边一个真实的故事。我有一位同事,他的儿子从他出生起我就认识。随着时间的推移,我通过Instagram和每年收到的全家福卡片,见证了这个孩子的成长。去年,我发现他开始穿女装;今年,他所有的照片都以女性形象示人,七岁生日派对也是迪士尼公主主题。我既惊叹于其父母的开放心态,也曾困惑于一个这么小的孩子,是否能如此明确地认知自己的心理性别。
影片中的一个场景为我提供了答案。Harper与一位小镇的跨性别领袖交谈,对方回忆说,早在幼儿园时,他就因本能地排入女厕队伍而感到困惑和孤单。Harper也说自己大概是这么大的时候开始有性别意识,觉得自己和其他小孩不一样。这一段对话,让我对同事的孩子有了更深层次的共情。
理解跨性别者是一项挑战。与同性恋相比,异性恋者至少可以想象爱上同性的感觉,但要真正理解“身体是女性/男性却不认同自己是女性/男性”的感受,则需要巨大的想象力。我至今无法完全共情,但Will and Harper让我至少能明白,这种感觉是真实存在的。这种从“不理解”到“理解”的转变,本身就是一种进步。
影片还揭示了跨性别群体所承受的偏见。一个尤其动人的时刻是,Harper坦言,她曾在偏远地区买房,仅仅是为了能在一个无人打扰的地方自由地穿上女装。偏见源于无知,如果我们愿意多倾听,少一些评判,这个世界会变得更宽容。
