Watching this movie many years ago, I was attracted by the solitary quality of Bratton played by Swank. Bratton is a gay who was born a girl, but always dresses as a boy, kisses and falls in love with girls. It may be common now, but at the time of the story, it was seen as a gender-blind disease that needed healing. Transgender people are no longer a topic, but the life of transgender people cannot be understood by ordinary people. Bratton is living the life of a transgender person, biologically a girl, but no longer has the characteristics of a girl, and lives exactly like a man. If she completes the sex change operation, then she is a man.
It's a pity that life doesn't go so well. Bratton stumbles upon Lanna, the girl he loves, and her disorganized family. Bratton mixes with Lanna's family and begins this life-changing romance and undoing doom. It's a pity that Bratton itself is a disaster. She steals, picks up girls, and lives a life of no fixed place. However, the only innocence in her heart is to believe that she is a man. Since then, he has lived the same life as any man, except for corsets and fake genitals. She works hard to change her gender in order to love the girl she loves better. This double life is driving people crazy, driving people crazy and falling into endless loneliness, no one understands her, she is unique and lonely, longing to be transgender, but lost in the reality of opposition and mocking. Transgender people are so lonely and so beautiful. In Lanna's eyes, Bratton is so beautiful, no matter if she is a man or a woman, as long as they love each other, she is the embodiment of beauty, even if the same sex or transgender, love is innocent, Bratton is also innocent, in front of love , gender also appears to be irrelevant.
I remembered that I was taking the subway in the city center some time ago. During the waiting period, I accidentally saw a pair of lesbians standing in front of me. The girl with short hair was kissing the neck of the girl with long hair like no one else. That scene was moving. leave me alone. Same-sex love can also be so beautiful, so upright, so ordinary in life, that is the truth. It's just that the truth is often painful, unpredictable, and even maddening. After the identity of the fake boy in the film was revealed, he was subjected to a series of revenge acts. In the end, Bratton himself was the most injured. Transgender people have endured the confusion of their own gender, and in the end they have to suffer both physical and psychological pain. In order to obtain the same happiness as ordinary people, they have paid a huge price, and the result is still unknown. The world of transgender people is something we won’t understand, because if the knife is not stabbed in ourselves, we will never know how painful it is; there is no gender confusion, we don’t know how deep discrimination is from others; What a price to bear.
