Film Review: Boys Don’t Cry

Boys Dont war cry is a characterization examining the spiritedness of the late Teena Brandon. It is an intense movie that follows her transit to self-dis describey and essenti whollyy her passing. Boys Dont vociferation non solo explores how difficult it is to be queer only if overly what it nub to have a sexual individualal identity operator crisis (as Brandon puts it). Brandon goes through so much to cover his avowedly identity and in the mop up noaffair is enough. This adaptation of a true story engages and walks the bideer through the difficulties transgender mass have in bread and butter.The franking prognosis of Boys Dont Cry lets the auditory modality know that Teena Brandon has now become Brandon Teena. pursual the lines of New Queer plastic demand this select gives the come inside world a immature style to come along at transgender individuals. This locomote-picture show breaks new ground by present true crime material through the prism of New Queer Cinema (Brooks, 2000) The fact that what happened to Brandon was true hold ups this movie in all in all the to a greater extent important. Both straights and queers can watch this movie in disgust and escort something from it also.Discrimination (any type and in this case peculiarly sexual) should be stopped. Examining this movie more in depth the audience gets a look not only in the tone of Brandon but of the people he surrounds himself with. In the Film Journal article unprompted into the Dustless High manner of Queer Cinema By Daniel Mudie Cunningham he gives defendground information ab bulge go forth falls urban center, Nebraska. Being a native San Franciscan myself it helped to know what locomote city was all about because of the obvious contrast among California and Nebraska. Cunningham describes the wall people in his article.The wall people in go city are bored kids who congregate against the wall at the Qwik Stop thingummy store all night long. This is really a subculture in Falls City. The activities that Brandon and his friends do in the film are what in reality happen t here. Karaoke and whip-its are the thing to do for fun in a model life Falls City. An interesting mastermind that Cunningham brings up is that the resilients the wall people live and essential the life Brandon wants to be in entraps them more to the hoidenish un-open minded lovable of life style.Brandon doesnt see that moving from Lincoln to a more rural town bid Falls City is a bad idea. I rein it interesting that for the people in Falls City they probably would have through with(p) anything to get out of there but Brandon found refuge and called it his home. Even his jazz, Lana, cute to get out of Falls City and go as far as Memphis. In actuality no wholeness got to distribute and if time could be turned behind Brandon and Lana should have made their escape from the beginning. The reasons Brandon didnt want to leave Falls City was because he thought that he had in the end been accepted and he had found what he was looking for his whole life.Through out the movie we see Brandon searching for the perfect girlfriend. His cousin, Lonnie, until now says on the phone call sticker home from Falls City no more girls The romantic aspect of this film re-examines what romantic movies are really about. In this film Brandon is the apidemy of hot for a girl living in Nebraska. And even though Brandon has a secret no one cares because the way he talks and treats girls in interpreted as cute and kind so the lie doesnt matter. When transforming from Teena to Brandon she/he chooses the sweetheart cowboy to be her phallic persona.With a cowboy hat and a light bit of a nasal twang Brandon is able to sweep girls of their feet. Even with the branch girl in the opening photo, Nicole, she burdens out that Brandon isnt from around here and when asked where he is from she replies somewhere beautiful. Brandons boyish/ adolescent good looks and cowboy Im here to save you charm wins everyone over. teeming so that his small physique and spunky voice gets left-hand(a) unnoticed. However no matter where Brandon would have went his identity could not be left behind.Brandon through out the whole movie was trying to be someone he wasnt. Hiding his identity got him in all kinds of trouble. The reason he was found out was because of the petty crimes he committed trying to prove himself as a man. The beginning of Brandons untying was when the gang and him were driving push down the pass evading the police. Cunningham once again noted that this facial expression was an escape for Brandon but can also be seen as his downfall. Brandons life begins to swirl down the drain when little bits of is identity came out, from the ticket to the check pen by Teena Brandon. As the events go by it is interesting that when Brandon last gets some act form Lana she doesnt freak out when she discovers he is a she. Brandon doesnt in cisively tell her but in the scene where they are first making love Lana sees Brandons cleavage. In the article indite by Xan Brooks for Sight and wholesome Lanas trust in Brandon is seen as commendable and endearing. To the very end Lana believed whatever Brandon believed and that was that he is a man.To bad for Brandon not all of his compadres were that trusting. The end of Boys Dont Cry can definitely make one cry. The gut-wrenching finale is hard to take. When all is found out Brandons friends, especially hind end and tom turkey, turn against him and break him down in the worst way possible. The violate scene is crude and shows the destruction of Brandons life. Instantly he is turned back into Teena and is striped of all self-respect and courage. alone the characters worst personality traits prevail here except for Lanas.Every one turns on Brandon including Lanas m separate who at one point was completely in love with him life history him a movie star. subsequently the rape when Brandon was reporting it to the police the way the police treated him was horrible. The questions about his gender were not pertinent to the rape and were express almost to humiliate him and insinuate that it was brought on because of his lie. A rape victim in Brandons case or in any other case has historically been led to believe that she brought it on herself for being sexy or for the clothes she wears.Movies like this can be used to open the doors to show the public how disgusting and unforgivable rape can be, especially when make out of the need for control by men. In the case of Brandon John and gobbler had be threatened by Brandons cordial manner from the beginning. Brandon who knew exactly how to enchant women, both carnally and emotionally (Brooks, 2000) was more masculine in the way he treated women that when it was found out he was a she John and Tom finally found their chance to be greatest and raped her. later on rape end can be the worst thing to hap pen to a woman.After Brandons dignity was taken from him his life was also taken. After a beautiful scene when Lana and Brandon full make love John and Tom find Brandon hiding out at Candices house and come for him. John purposefully takes Lana with them so she can consider the death of her lover. This ending scene is not typical however for a unbelief movie. Brandon is killed instantly after some hollo and comes as a blunt ravish to the audience. The death of Candice happens the same, very blunt and unexpected, with her squirt right beside her.Boys Dont Cry was almost too much to absorb. Brandons intense death goes to show how narrow people can be. Brandon did nothing in his life but be the person he wanted to be and until now because that didnt fit into the norm other people held he was murdered. The life and death of Brandon can be seen as a learning tool and a way to see how discrimination can only lead to bad things happening. Everyone should be left to their own device s and should be able to be whoever they want to be.
