I am afraid of the road ahead, but when I think of you, I have the ability to move forward.
The Boys Don't Cry movie is based on true events, and the heroine -- or rather the hero, Hilary Swank, won the 2000 Academy Awards and that year's Golden Globes Two trophies.
Many people regard this movie as a gay movie, and it is included in a series of gay movie lists; some people use this movie to accuse patriarchy, but it is not fair.
It's far from superficial.
Brandon likes girls, and she's a girl herself, but he's gay in that sense, and he doesn't agree with it himself. Because he doesn't feel like a girl, she has always felt like a "man with a gender crisis".
Brandon just has gender dysphoria, and unlike Lesbian, Brandon sees himself as a man, not a woman.
Physiological structure does not limit a person's gender. It is easy to say, but when faced with society, this is an insurmountable gap.
Everyone in the know thought Brandon was a woman.
As Cousin Brandon said: "If you were a man, I would want to have sex with you." In addition to indicating that the cousin is gay, it also has another meaning - homosexuality does not recognize Brandon's men identity.
He knew Brandon's psychology and his demands, but his concept told him that Brandon was a woman.
This is also the view of everyone else.
The addition of John and Tom made the idea gory.
They ripped off Brandon's clothes, ripped open his trousers, and asked him, "What the hell are you? A man? A woman?" They used brute force to get their answers.
But Brandon didn't know it himself, he could only cry. In the end, he himself doesn't know what he should be, no one tells him, no one helps him, he is just a poor man who is not favored by God.
However, the real group's rejection of heterogeneity will only be more intense.
John and Tom felt that Brandon's deception was a huge insult to them, so they "told" Brandon in the most despicable way he was a woman - they gang-raped Brandon, his biological makeup was It was decided that he was only a woman in the eyes of men - whether his body structure was female or not, the body he was gang-raped on was a woman.
Only Brandon's girlfriend, Lana, seems to understand him and give him a real love sex.
But this irritated John even more, so he killed Brandon.
Come to think of it, this is actually a movie full of accusations. Not only the injustice suffered by people with gender cognitive impairment, but also the solidarity with every phenomenon that is not accepted by the public but is real.
Brandon's intersex identity cannot be accepted by society. He is an outlier and breaks the existing ethical rules, so there is only tragedy waiting for him, even if this identity is not his own fault. The marginalized groups represented by Brandon have been discriminated against for a long time, which is not fair, but it does exist.
This may be the core point that this film wants to tell us.
