First, about Brandon's disguise as a man. Now squeeze the subway and see TP haunts again and again, but completely pretending to be the opposite sex life is definitely not understood or accepted by the public. Brandon's behavior stemmed from a gender identity disorder, which made her feel so incompatible with her biological sex that she cut her hair and tied her bosom to dress up as a man. Gender identity disorder is considered a mental disorder from a medical point of view. People with this disorder will not cause harm to others. They just have a stronger sense of transgender identity and cannot adapt to their gender. Today, the general public has extremely limited awareness of gender identity disorders, and thinks they are homosexuals or transvestites, perverts, and despicable. But in fact, they should not be regarded as beasts. Like the homosexual group, they need to raise the awareness and understanding of the masses. The society should actively help these people to adapt to themselves and the society by means of sex reassignment surgery, rather than discrimination or even violence. . Brandon disguised herself as a man and found true love. Not only did he not get any recognition, but he was violently treated to death. I am really heartbroken by such an extreme ending.
Let's talk about John and Tom's behavior. I can't figure out what kind of psychology they use, how to bear it, or from a psychological point of view, there are only two conjectures (just getting started, the opinions are very shallow, please lightly spray...): one is that they think that The protection mentality caused by the hurt of the loved one, and the second is the emergence of a sense of crisis as a male subject. The first point does not need to be explained too much, because it is not difficult to understand the use of violent means to protect the psychology, not only the most direct violent measures. In "God Save Bobby", Bobby's mother "killed" her son with love is an example. In fact, non-violence is more common. Sometimes actions we think we do because we "love" someone often do more harm than good. The second point about the sense of crisis of subject status was also suddenly discovered after seeing the comments of other bean friends. Indeed, the roles of John and Tom have always been Lana's ex-boyfriends (I can't remember the exact roles of their roles from before. What's the matter ⊙__⊙), and Lana did not have a fixed partner later, which made their self-confessed boyfriend identity not completely removed from consciousness, and their habitual sense of possession of Lana has always existed in the subconscious. And when Brandon's identity is exposed, they realize that she has done harm to Lana, coupled with the social and cultural disapproval of homosexuality, they feel that their dominant position as men has been violated and they are angry. In order to defend their subjective status or the so-called dignity of men, coupled with their brutal and brutal behavior pattern, they took extreme violent measures and tried to prove their superiority as men by means of rape.
One last point to mention is Lana's recovery after Brandon's death. A loved one was shot by an ex-boyfriend in front of his eyes, and there must be a certain degree of psychological trauma after experiencing such a thing. At that time, I saw that Lana was only in a trance for a few days and continued to live as usual, as if she had forgotten Brandon. But I also understand that no matter what I experience, whether it's a lovelorn or a widow, there are only a few people who die in love. The really big trauma is not easy to show. The cerebral cortex instinctively chooses to forget the disaster memory. The experiencer is not cured, but numb because of forgetting. Perhaps a similar event or scene many years later will send the experiencer back to hell, suffering from post-traumatic sequelae. In the "Hypnosis Master" I just watched a few days ago, Xu Ruining's trance, fear of driving, and even self-mutilation are all due to post-traumatic stress syndrome. I don't know what happened to Lana in reality, this may be the nightmare of her life.
The movie is adapted from a real case, and similar cases are not uncommon. Whether for the parties or witnesses, such violent incidents caused by lack of understanding and discrimination can only be tragic, and the consequences can even affect the direction of a person's life. . While angry and sad, I also feel at a loss...because I really don't know what to do to give some valuable help to these vulnerable groups. I really hope that I can contribute a little to them, even if it's just explaining what gender identity disorder is to the people around me, so that more people know about them, and I pray that such tragedies don't happen again ;((•﹏• ๑)));:
