Normal (The Movie)

Movie Review : The Abnormal in Normal

Normal is a spectacular movie which encompassed both a war and unity of emotions , standards , and ideologies . It showcased the play of sexuality understanding , anger , transformation , ostracism , and most especially love , depicted in the lives of the characters that compose the film . How all of them owned a different perception of Roy 's transsexualism and how these perceptions seemed to be intertwined dramatically revealed the key element that make up Normal 's core

Personally , I found the movie very moving and inspiring . It is not

everyday that films like these are produced in the industry for the obvious fact that transsexualism , not to mention heterosexuality and bisexuality , is still on the process of holding a secure , firm , and properly recognized position in society . Normal was successful in its attempt to disband stereotypes regarding deviant behavior and twisted genders . It portrayed how acceptance and love serve as the main dissolving agent in breaking norms in response to the changes that occur in time

Eventually , theless , Irma learned to embrace Roy for who he is - the man he loved yet now with earrings , perfume , make-up , and even breasts This was a strong proof that true love does conquer all and breaks differences . The occurrence tested if Irma was really willing to stay with Roy and to love him with all her heart , through sickness and health , for richer or poorer , with death as the sole wall that could separate them . The relationship of the couple evidently changed , but the love was still the same . This served as their starting point to both reliving an old chapter of their life and opening a new one together

Patty Ann and Wayne , the couple 's children , were also affected by Roy 's revelation . Albeit their reactions were of opposite sides of the spectrum , these showed that they significantly cared about what happened to their father . Dealing with his kids , however , remained as another struggle for Roy

Patty Ann took his father 's transformation in a positive light since she , too , was...
