love is love

Two or three years ago, I heard about a movie called "Boys Don't Cry", and I paid attention because the boy is actually a girl. This cannot be said to be a movie about homosexuality, because the protagonist Brandon is more inclined to be transsexual. God gave him the body of a girl and the heart of a boy.
Download it in the morning and watch it in the afternoon. After starring Hilary Swank was re-appointed at this year's Oscars with "Millions of Baby", many Chinese people must know that she once won the crown with the role of Brandon Teena.
An actress, played a girl who likes to dress up as a man, and then became an Oscar queen.
Gender is sometimes, just sometimes, just a symbol.

Brandon appeared as a boy, with short shredded hair, a loose T-shirt jacket behind his chest, and socks rolled into a ball in his crotch. He walked into a skating rink hopefully and nervously introduced himself to a beautiful girl.
They kissed when they were parting, and the girl turned around, and then Brandon smirked excitedly at the black sky and ran back.
I think this is the first time he has successfully dated a girl.

There will always be a day when things go through the country. After leaving his cousin’s house, he ran into Candace and John at the bar, and they took him to Falls City, where he met the girl he might have fallen in love with for the first and last time in his life, Lana. .
Why they attract each other and how they come together are not so important anymore. When he returned to Lincoln, he told his cousin that he wanted to marry her. The cousin mocked him: When are you going to tell her that you are a woman? Before going to bed or after going to bed?
He still looked forward to it, and his innocent smile even heralded tragedy. That night Brandon went to Lana's work place to find her, and they had sex.
Lana looked very happy, even if Brandon is a girl, he still has the ability to bring her happiness, even though Lana vaguely saw Brandon's corset.
But Lana was still snuggling in Brandon's arms, and even after the incident was revealed, Lana still said to John and his mother: I saw his "that stuff", he is a man, believe me, and then we can go back to the room and sleep. .

Fortunately for Brandon's misfortune, the girl he loves also loves him unconditionally. For Lana, gender is just a symbol at this time, and it is not this symbol that she falls in love with, but the person Brandon.
The tone of the whole film is gray, the day is gray, and the night is always like being splashed with thick ink, rendering Falls City and the people there. The brightest color in the whole film is probably when Lana bailed Brandon out of the police station. They held hands and rushed out of the police station. The sun was dappled on the faces of youth and love, attracting people's attention.
And Lana is not a girl who is a little nervous. She once wanted to run away with Brandon under the instigation of love, but she hesitated in the end. Hesitation is normal, after all, Brandon's document still judges him to be a female. But when Brandon couldn't realize the dream of Memphis, she made up the remaining dream for him. At the end of the film, Lana embarked on the journey alone. I believe she is driving towards Memphis, a place not far away.
If she didn't love him unconditionally, how could this happen.

It would be great if the world could look at all this in a calm light. They love each other and can bring happiness to each other, so why can't they be together?
And what did those so-called normal men John and Tim do after they learned the truth? They raped him with their only male organ that was stronger than Brandon. This is an insult, this is a crime. He is still a virgin physically, but the trauma to his heart is far deeper and deeper than the incident of "rape".
In their eyes, Brandon is a monster, perverted.

I don't know what Brandon was thinking at the last moment when he died under John's gun. The shot was quick, and fortunately it would not prolong his pain. And the last thing he saw was the face of his beloved girl Lana. It is impossible to have no regrets, but fortunately, what he finally saw in this narrow and prejudiced world was pure love.
Lana cried and lay on Brandon's body. When the sun came in the next day, she woke up tired of crying and found a letter from Brandon to her. In the future, this strong girl will encounter many things, no matter how cold the earthly sunshine is, I believe there is a seed in her body that is constantly warming her. This is given to her by the lover who has no male organs, and no man can replace this power.

Because love is love. No matter how others think, if they are two people who truly love each other, gender is just a symbol for them.
Sincere love is everything in their world.
