When Douzi kept flubbing his line
When Douzi kept saying, "I am by nature a boy" instead of "I am by nature a girl" was this intentional or was he truly just messing up on the line repeatedly? I absolutely love this movie but that is one part that's not very clear to me. The first time I watched it, I felt certain that Douzi was intentionally flubbing the line because he didn't want to call himself a girl. Now that I've seen it a few more times and have read some of the older comments on this board, I am not so sure.
I think it's more realistic to think that he was flubbing the line intentionally than to think that he messed up THAT many times, even while being severely beaten for it..............but perhaps he really was that nervous and just couldn't nail the line. Someone help me out here- Perhaps someone who has read the book. What do you think? Intentional or just a mess up on Douzi's part?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
