Orlando

The film's blend of biography, drama, and fantasy, following Orlando's centuries-long, gender-fluid journey, primarily evokes a deep sense of melancholy due to the weight of immortality and loss, coupled with strong empathy for his evolving identity and experiences. Audiences also feel awe at the fantastical premise and visual grandeur, alongside curiosity about his transformations and the historical periods. Sadness and nostalgia arise from the passage of time and changing relationships, while inspiration is drawn from Orlando's resilience and self-discovery.
