This is a heartbreaking story. Before watching the film, I thought he would be like a story like "The Devil", but it is not. This story is simpler and purer. It is a love tragedy like "Brokeback Mountain", but A non-lesbian tragedy. She doesn't know anything about the world of lesbians, but Swank uses her (his?) superb acting skills to interpret a girl who is straight-hearted, resolute, and full of sense of responsibility and enterprising spirit. These characters are some of the boys who are often praised s things. Therefore, in the first half of the story, I always felt that she was an abnormal girl, just a little bit more MAN than the average girl in her heart, but as her secret was revealed, this character gradually began to be heartbreaking, she actually did nothing, I just fell in love with another girl. This kind of love is different from the casual hooking up with everyone at the beginning.
I also have to mention that director Kimberly Pearce used a flashback in the scene where Tina (the girl played by Swank) is assaulted by two hooligans, which is very good when the story itself does not have a lot of ups and downs. , if a linear narrative is used, it will not work so well, because before that, there is not much tragedy that happened to Tina, and then everything starts to change dramatically.
I also saw a similar work "Tomboy" in the previous paragraph. Of course, the age of the protagonist is different from this film. It can be called the child version of "Boys Don't Cry". Judging from the way of expression of this type of themes, the stories themselves focus on the uniqueness of the characters themselves and people's incomprehension of them. The society should take responsibility. Thanks to the medium of film, we can let our audience have in-depth contact with these special people. In our hearts and their world, let us understand and be more tolerant, so that such heartbreak tragedies happen less often.
