"BOYS DON'T CRY" and "BETTER THAN CHOCOLATE"
are also two films that describe lesbians. The heavy breathing, helplessness and indifferent demeanor make the inner nerves sensitively entangle.
"BOYS DON'T CRY" was changed from a true story, and because of this, its tragic color is even stronger. Whenever I think of this fact, my heart hurts. The story describes that in 1993, an innocent and enthusiastic young man came to Faos City, Nebraska, in the central United States. His enthusiasm infected and attracted the girls around him. Na's boy is also deeply in love with a girl named Lana in the town. However, a traffic violation led Brandon Teana to reveal the fact that he was a daughter, and although Lana was still on his side, the incomprehensible Brandon was killed by Lana's ex-boyfriend John and best friend Tom. Raped and brutally killed.
When Brenton, who had just taken a shower, appeared on the camera, tying his deformed chest with a cloth and stuffing something similar to male genitals into his crotch, he had no shame or perverted heart, but everything was so natural. He is just a poor man equipped by God with a body of the wrong gender. He wants to arm himself with those parts of FAKE, but his heart is intact and pure. And love also made Lana understand and accept Brandon. Originally, it was not easy for two people to reach the intersection of body and mind. However, only people with dirt in their hearts would think others are so dirty. Brandon ended up being the most hysterical outlet for fears.
Although the director did not have enough insight into the protagonist's heart, and the description of the final escape scene was a little delayed, but like "MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO", this film, which uses the same desolate American highway as the background, uses its unique and poignant point of view without depicting it. The inner way moves people. People's actions reflect people's hearts. Brandon's small movements and Lana's seemingly inadvertent expressions both depict the collision and entanglement of two young hearts.
We always say that films must have depth, but after watching so many films about young people, I feel that the depth is unnecessary. Human nature is contradictory, especially the ignorant teenagers, but their enthusiasm and courage exude a warm light, there is no right or wrong in reason and emotion, they just want to live true.
"BETTER THAN CHOCOLATE" is more rebellious and witty. Maggie was just 19 years old, dropped out of school, worked in a sex bookstore, and fell in love with the homeless painter Jim. The arrival of her mother made her orderly life thrown into chaos. Around Maggie, there are all kinds of girls with gay tendencies, like Judy, who is a man, but freely likes to be a transgender woman and falls in love with the bookstore's gay proprietress, Frances.
Maggie's mother nervously used chocolate to stimulate her sensitive nerves, while Maggie and others filled themselves with sexual props and gay sex. Which is better than which? In the end, in order to resist the government's investigation of "bad books", Maggie was naked wearing a "unsightly" tag, but she was really a spiritual idol.
Homosexuality, bisexuality, pornography, sex toys, nude paintings, bar and bathroom carnivals are all common things in the film, there is nothing to show, but there is a dramatic effect, of course, because of the insufficient description of emotional details , Just like because Maggie didn't tell her mother the fact that she and Jim were in love, Jim ran away in anger, and because the plot of missing back was a bit sloppy.
However, when watching cartoons, who would use logical thinking and routines to fit into the storyline and characters? Wonderful movies don't need to be deep and perfect, right? It's just fun and fun~! like life.
