This movie is too much for my taste in terms of the theme, the plot and the way of shooting. In my heart, there is no other movie that can take its place. No one knows how much I love this movie. The first time I watched this movie, it completely followed the plot. Although I knew the ending before watching it, I was completely immersed in it the second time I watched it. I have watched this movie at least six or seven times from the beginning to the end. Especially during the time I just finished watching it, I was fascinated by this tragedy and learned a lot of information about the movie and the prototype. Although it is a tragedy, what I feel is not only depression, but also a sense of enlightenment. There is no doubt about Brandon's tragic and dramatic nature. He challenged the rules of society and violated God's creation. What welcomed him is also destined to be heavy. ending. In this society, people will only accept what they take for granted. You are what you were born with, and you cannot choose your position. The film begins with the car Brandon drives in the fog, which also hints at the unpredictable fate of Brandon. In addition to the subject matter and plot, this movie impresses me very much, and what impresses me very much is its mood and its description of Nebraska in that era and the hedonism of the American bottom class at that time. Although it is a marginal movie, it can be derived from this unique The perspective describes an era, which is a very great place, and a place that fascinates me the most. Although the skating rink section at the beginning seems to be very cheerful on the surface, I always feel that this section is very depressing, especially when I watch it for the first time, I always feel that it is foreshadowing. From the moment Brandon pushed the door of the skating rink open, the melody sounded , which shows the era at once. The blue-purple images and the echoes of the music on the skating rink made people immersed. After Brandon sent the girl home, the melody played again. He raised his head and smirked at the sky. He threw his clothes and walked back excitedly. Maybe for Brandon , this is already something he dare not ask for, this is a great happiness for him. And after that the picture turns to Nebraska's drowsy sky, Just What I Needed's melody spreads in the deep purple sky, making people worry that the previous beauty will all be broken in the next moment. Sure enough, after a few thunders, Brandon still had to usher in the shattering of the lie in the next moment. But this is not a strange thing for him. After all, he has experienced too many calamities brought about by the collapse of lies, but he still chooses to be himself. He may not understand why his pursuit of himself attracts so many. The calamity, although he was indifferent to his cousin's questioning, no one knew what kind of struggle he experienced in his heart after the lies were shattered again and again. Cousin kicked him out of the house, Brandon ran to the bar, drinking, smoking and playing cards in the minor tune of A New Shade Of Blue, Candace approached him, Candace was harassed when Brandon went to buy cigarettes, Brandon came back to conflict with him, John Helped, they escaped from the bar, ran into an alley with a smile, found Tom again, and Brandon became friends with them, which was exactly the approval he needed, but he didn't expect that it was these two who called him brothers and sisters. Friend, shattered his sweet dreams. The next day, Brandon found himself in an unfamiliar place, Falls city, where it all started. The melody of Tuesday's Gone sounded, and Brandon walked into the bar. It was here that he met Lana, saying "Who are you?", and it was love at first sight. When Brandon wanted to go back to Lincoln, Brandon and Lana were cautious and couldn't help themselves, with the tune of "Burning House Of Love", Lana's aftertaste when Brandon left, closed the door and watched Brandon leave step by step through the window on the door. Later, Brandon was imprisoned. He knew that there would be a day when things would come to light. It was just a matter of time. This was the last thing Brandon wanted to face. He said to himself time and time again, "I won't screw it up this time," but it was just a dream after all. But after Lana knew the truth, she still stood by Brandon without hesitation, "boys don' . Brandon knew that no amount of explanation would be worth it at this point, that he would never be able to avoid this identity, an identity that would keep him in a nightmare for the rest of his life, and he knew it was all over. John and Tom force him into the bathroom to check his gender, Brandon pleads desperately, but he can't stop it. Lana was also taken to the bathroom. John forced Lana to look directly. Lana covered her eyes helplessly and knelt down. At this time, Lana was also suffering from great despair. When Brandon is exposed by John and Tom in front of Lana, the light suddenly softens, and he watches his pain as a bystander, the male detachment from himself, his friends away from him. After this nightmare is over, Brandon leaves Lana's house in frustration, but is followed by a disgruntled John and Tom who force Brandon to a meatpacking factory. Brandon would rather have them beat him hard, because then he realizes something is really going to happen. John and Tom chose to strengthen Brandon's female identity in the most extreme way. With the violent collisions again and again, Brandon's soul was also spent again and again. On this Christmas Eve night, his soul died. He came to the police station, but the police officer didn't care about the injuries he suffered, but tortured him over and over again with difficult questions. When the police officer poked and questioned him with a sarcasm, Brandon finally had to face He cried over the fact that he had been avoiding the fact that, in biology, he was a girl, not a boy. After leaving the police station, Brandon knew that he would not leave the place that caused him great pain, so he chose to stay, and Candace took him in. At this time, Lana's heart was also suffering from a painful struggle. They were still talking about their dream trip to Memphis as if nothing had happened, and as they packed up and prepared to leave, Lana's eyes got hesitant, and Brandon was still encouraging her, he must be convinced that they would go there their dream place. But it was time to come. John and Tom, who were not detained, were afraid that their crimes would be exposed, so they decided to kill people. They came to Lana's house, threatened Lana's mother to tell them about Brandon's whereabouts, and they rushed into Candace's house in a frenzy, and Brandon was still saying at the last moment, "Everything is My fault". Lana asked "Why didn't you go? "They looked at each other and stared at each other, Brandon knew, he wasn't going, because there would never be a second Lana to accept him, and he smiled at Lana at the last moment as best he could, as if to tell her," Let's go together". Then, without any warning, a bullet went through Brandon's head, and the shot was so crisp and unadorned that it felt like there was still room for discussion. Lana was heartbroken. Wailing, Tom, who had lost his mind, mercilessly killed Candace. Candace's children were also witnessing all this, but he didn't know what was going on when he was young. They seemed to think that was not enough, Tom used a knife to kill Candace again. Once damaged Brandon's body. After doing all this, they escaped from the house. Lana, who lost her lover, lay on the body of Brandon, who had lost her life. She and the baby who had just lost her mother were the only ones in the house. Two living beings. The next day, the sun on the last day of 1993 shone on them, the gloomy guitar sounded, and Lana, who was lying on the breathless Brandon, opened her eyes, she thought it was a dream, but she What is in front of her is the harsh reality. She finds a letter in Brandon's pocket, and while reading the letter, she is taken away by her mother. At the end of the film, the content of the letter is narrated in Brandon's voice."Dear Lana, By the time you read this I'll be back home in Lincoln. I'm scared of what's ahead, but when I think of you I know I'll be able to go on. You were right, Memphis isn't that far off. I 'll be taking that trip down the highway before too long. I'll be waiting for you. Love always and forever, Brandon. "The bluest eyes in Texas" sung by the three girls on stage once again sounded Lana carrying Brandon's love, shuttling down the highway to Memphis. For the movie, it is a pity that Brandon did not realize his dream of going to Memphis with Lana, but for reality, this may be the most happy ending, because in reality, all this is not so ideal, and Lana is not so loving He, and even if he chooses to leave, he will not be happy, because no matter where he goes, no one will accept him. The title of the movie has strongly identified Brandon's soul, but there are still many people who define Brandon as gay. He sincerely loves a girl with the heart of a man, how could he be gay? Brandon's whole life has been searching for himself, a place to call "home", just like the letter he wrote to his cousin Lonny in prison, he is living strong. Finally, I would like to say that Brandon is a hero, and his courage to pursue himself is always worthy of our admiration. In memory of Brandon Teena (1972-1993) Boys don't cry
