a little cold

I do not know why the mood is a little low, and there is some sadness for myself and others. I shouldn't be watching this movie tonight with such emotions, my heart is a little cold.

The film is based on a true story that took place in 1993.

Some people may not know that HILARY SWANK (HILARY SWANK) of "Million Baby" became the youngest Oscar-winning actress with this movie as early as 1999.

In 1993, in Faos City, Nebraska, a strange young man, Brandon, appeared in the small town and was loved by everyone, as well as his love—a beautiful and lovely girl Laura . But his true identity was revealed after a traffic violation: he was actually a girl. The ending is extremely bloody and brutal. After Brandon's daughter was exposed, two former male friends, John and Tom, felt deeply betrayed and brutally beat her and gang-raped her, and finally shot her and Tangtang, who had taken in her, in front of Laura. Brandon was twenty when he died, in 1993.


The whole movie feels cruel. When violence is directed at a woman, she just lives according to her own heart. Although it is different from the requirements of the world, shouldn't there be happiness? Should we endure such unbearable violence? The renunciation of anger you can feel sitting in front of a screen.

When faced with violence, a single person is insignificant, and when faced with group violence, it is even more desperate to the extent that it cannot be dismissed. I had a similar feeling when I watched "Tianyu" before. When politics, deception, violence, and accomplices were entangled, I felt really at a loss and powerless. There are also some memories after watching "Heavenly Bath". I couldn't cry without crying. I felt cold in my heart. I ran out and stood in the sun for almost an hour before I persuaded myself that it was just a movie, but I was sensible. Tell me - the reality is more cruel than the movies.

The precarious extras in "Extras" are treacherous for a meal, and travel on cold winter nights in order to find a place to stay overnight. I think the filmmaker of the documentary is so cruel, why can't she give her some money to find a place to stay, but it is unbearable to record these things so realistically. Looking at the familiar streets and place names in Beijing, and thinking about the sadness that happens all the time, I really don't know what to do except to be content with myself! ! !

When I wrote "Don't Cry Boys", I hummed "Don't Cry, Friends" lightly. I always felt that it was a song with a specific direction. What pain can’t be forgotten, it’s impossible to look back when you walk forward”, “There are too many dazed and infatuated pursuits in the world, and I also feel your pain”, “It’s rare to have a few true friends in the sea of ​​people. You don't care."

In a way, friendship is more lasting and worth looking forward to than love. . .

It's early morning again, and my mind is in chaos, so I still go to sleep. No matter what, the days will continue to move forward. I think this is life, at least this is my life!

    A movie about love, a girl who really loves you doesn't even care about your gender, or whether she can give her sex...Love is never selfish
