It is transparent that Director Valerie’s objective was to display her skills for…

this scene ruins me every. single. time.

the way Hank immediately apologizes, even if its just him and manny alone in the woods hes so scared of what other people would think if they saw him like this, hes so scared of being seen as "wrong" or "different".

the way he stops when hes called beautiful, and then tries to calm himself down ("no why would- really?") like hes scared being happy about it. Like him being happy about being called beautiful/being dressed as a woman is something that is inherently wrong and impossible.

even the way he walks in all stiff and hunched over like he is hiding, but relaxes when manny accepts him with open arms.!!! FUCK!!!

i always read Hank as being transgender (or atleast gnc) and thats why hes so scared and ran away from society. hes so terrified of being seen as gross or just different in general that he tried to live in shame until he couldnt anymore.

I think his infatuation with Sarah isnt one of "i want her" i think its a "i want to BE her"

the montage scene, where for 90% of it he is dressed as Sarah, is probably the happiest we ever see her, just by being able to express herself like this (even if it is in the woods grilling raccoons in a dress made out of garbage).

I think where a lot of folks drop the ball in media analysis is thinking that just because an element has an allegorical or metaphorical nature in the story telling it must not have "actually happened" in-universe.

Was that real or a dream? Well it was a movie. The farting corpse is to us a metaphor for unlearning shame and embracing the parts of life that make you different, and also Paul Dano's character really did use his farts to jetski in universe. And that helped her learn to be herself.
