[Remarks]

I happened to chat with my friends about the topic of LGBT, and asked them to recommend the subject of Transgender, so I watched this movie.

Throughout the show, the city's name was repeatedly mentioned many times, and Memphis, Lincoln and Falls city eventually became unsatisfactory sad places.
Brandon gave me the feeling of being vivid and cute at first. He was very generous and direct to pursue girls, oh my god, what adolescent girl would not like to wear a plaid shirt and flirt with her handsome guy on the ice rink.
Personal experience makes me agree with the statement that "depressed patients are more able to see whether a person is depressed or not", so I don't know if this is the reason, it makes me think that Brandon is so easily accepted by John's group because of the same kind depend on each other. They all seem to be "social problem groups", abandoned by society, or, in other words, a group of people who voluntarily abandon society and shrink into a small group.
In fact, if the plot of a group of friends drinking and dancing into a decadent life continues, no matter how good it is, it won't make me think it's a good movie. After all the lies were blown out, the scene in which John and Tom raped Brandon was beyond my expectations, and it was undoubtedly the beginning of a dramatic turnaround in the plot and the deeper meaning the film was trying to reveal. I've always called male chauvinism a beast and a coward, and yes, both are indispensable. After knowing that Brandon is a woman and still "playing a woman", he scoffs at him because his status is shaken, because he is not as attractive as another woman for a woman, and the anger at this time is the resistance of the weak. Then also after knowing that Brandon is a woman, conspiring to rape is the most primitive male gender inferiority: "I hate you, but it doesn't prevent me from fucking you, bitch!" , one side is rampant, while the other side is helpless.

Lana and Brandon, from beginning to end, are conveying the true meaning of "I love you, regardless of gender" to the audience. At the end of the film, in the song "The Bluest Eyes in Texas" where the two met for the first time, Lana went to Lincoln alone. In the strange lights on the way, I wonder if Lana could see the dimly lit bar at first. , the brave, uninjured Brandon.

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

    Brandon: I hate your life, too.
