Cinephile No. 551 “The Danish Girl”

"The Danish Girl" is groundbreaking and pioneering cinema that changes you for the better. Good cinema should entertain you. Great movies should propel you from the theatre as a different person. After finishing this film, I felt as if I had a greater grasp of the struggles of the transgender community. I was able to empathize in ways like never before. More than anything, I felt ready to advocate when necessary and offer kindness to those who may need it. I am lucky. I have had the great fortune of being born into the gender where I feel most comfortable. Many have not. After this experience, I am finally ready to help wherever I can.


Be good to each other,

-Nathan
