The shock of reality

There is a very strange phenomenon that women like to watch gays, and men like to watch lesbians. "Boys Don't Cry" was the first lesbian film I saw, and it was shocking because it was so real.

In particular, Brandon brought a tool to simulate a male and his favorite woman, Lana ML. What's even more shocking is that Lana accidentally saw Brandon's chest during the process. She was shocked for a moment, and then immediately returned to calm, like what? Neither happened.

The biggest difference between this film and other lesbian films is that one is the true story and the other is the concealment of gender. In many films now, it is more about the story of two women who know the truth, and more about the depiction of feelings.

Before watching "Boys Don't Cry", I briefly fantasized about the lust of two women. Forgive my naivety, the imagination was simple and beautiful. But the shock this film brought to me made me re-examine the world of lesbians, maybe I didn't understand it at all.

So, I once lost interest in watching lesbian films. Just like watching "The Kingdom of the Senses", I lost interest in erotic movies for a time.

The Taiwanese films "Blue Door" and "Tattoo" I watched later belonged to the aesthetic route, and it was difficult to enter the depths of the soul.

Another shock brought by this film is that it turns out that the United States also has that shabby era.

    Lana: Yeah, well, you'd be cranky, too, Mister I'm Going To Memphis Graceland Tennessee, if you were stuck in a town where there's nothing to do but go bumper skiing and chase bats every night of your evil fucking life.

  • Lana: God, I hate my life.

    Lana's Mom: [drunk on the sofa] Lana?

    Brandon: I hate your life, too.
