In his new documentary,"Will & Harper" Will Ferrell and his old friend Harper Steele drive across America as Steele who has recently come out as transgender explores this new identity.And he is also living in a bubble that allows him to willfully misunderstand why there is any tension around the transgender issue.the actor learns his longtime pal, former Saturday Night Live writer Andrew Steele, will be transitioning to live as a woman called Harper.
Though there are exceptions. In one scene, Ferrell takes a picture with Indiana governor, Eric Holcomb, and he laments his regret over not confronting him about the state’s ban on so-called “gender affirming care.” No one in their right mind sees Steele, or any transgender person, as a threat to a six foot 3 dude.
After all, the movie itself proves that generally people are kind. In the film, the pair visit an Oklahoma dive bar adorned with pro Trump flags and Steele arrives solo, striking up friendly chats with some locals.“Will & Harper” is raw and at times funny, but neither Ferrell nor Steele know anything about being a woman.Then Ferrell enters and they are serenaded by Native Americans as a toothless man, nursing a bottled beer, preaches acceptance.
