      BETTER THAN CHOCOLATE

      "BOYS DON'T CRY" and "BETTER THAN CHOCOLATE"

      are also two films that describe lesbians. The heavy breathing, helplessness and indifferent demeanor make the inner nerves sensitively entangle.

      "BOYS DON'T CRY" was changed from a true story, and because of this, its tragic color is even stronger. Whenever I think of this fact, my heart hurts. The story describes that in 1993, an innocent and enthusiastic young man came to Faos City, Nebraska, in the central United States....

      Memories from many years ago

      I really like this movie, even after so many years, it still stays in my memory. In the les films I have seen, I would like to rank it NO.1.
      reason? The film is full of joy. For love, for freedom, bravely pursue.
      quarrel? Can be reconciled.
      being abandoned? life can be regained.
      no partner? There are props.
      No one loves? Look around.
      transsexual? "Just make some cuts and add some" and become who you really are.
      Transgender and in love with a woman? Is this...

      Sweet in my heart.

      I think this is the most moving Lara movie after "savingface" and "Boys Don't Cry".
      In fact, I don't want to categorize anything, and I don't want to comment on something with the opinions of different groups of people. It's just that such a beautiful and artistic film brings people the real shock.

      I said to my A, how beautiful it is that two people in a huge room paint each other all over, tossing and turning on the canvas on the floor. A said, if we also have such a big...

      Diversity. Love and not love. Love is only because of a twitchy girl's heart

      I haven’t written a movie review for almost a month. I’m really unhappy this month. Too many things happened, too many things in my heart that I want to say, but how many people will understand when I say it. But I know very well that this is life, and what happened to me is related to my sexuality. So watching this movie resonated especially, especially the family part. Coming out with my family is a real milestone, and I've recently learned that it's not just me who has this problem, but...

      "I'm not a fucking drag queen..." Judy

      Rewatched it a while ago. Ha, the entertainment is still ;p
      love the romance between Frances and Judy in it.
      Judy ignores the eyes of others and has the courage to pursue love. Although she has been rejected repeatedly, she still shows her love to Frances perseveringly. Judy, who is considerate and considerate, is very popular. Whenever a friend has troubles, she always listens patiently and tirelessly. Where can I find such a friend?
      At the end of the film, seeing Frances...

      Except for the little P and the bookstore owner, there is nothing to watch. . . ....

    Movie plot

    Maggie was just 19 years old, dropped out of school, worked part-time in a sex bookstore, and had no boyfriend, and was often seduced by several gay friends around her. Jim is a wandering painter, as young and beautiful as Maggie, but with a boyish style and character. The two teenage girls are naturally attracted to each other and fall in love, but even their friend Tony, the bar owner, can't forgive their relationship. Maggie's...

    Background creation

    The film describes the romance between two "artistic young women" in small towns. Although the subject matter is different, it is not too immoral. In fact, although the love between the two protagonists is not suitable for the mainstream morality of society, it is a depiction of love after all. Caring too much for the protagonists makes them look a bit rigid, but the two middle-aged supporting actresses in the film are more glorious....

    Movie quotes

    • Judy: I'm Jeremy.

      Lila: You're a man?

      Judy: No, no, no, no, no, not really. Not ever. I was born into a man's body but I've always been a woman and well, after the final surgery...

      Lila: I think I need a little drink.

    • Lila: I read a study and after the age of forty a woman's chances of having sex are diminished by eighty percent. SO, after fifty, God help you. And since I probably won't be having sex again, chocolate is the only pleasure left for me.

    • Carla: Ouch, it's the plight of the bisexual. Gay girls won't play with you.
