Don't touch other people's Brokeback Mountain

This true story that happened in 1993 was filmed into the documentary "The Brandon Teena Story", and was screened at the 1998 Golden Horse International Film Festival. For a woman who wants to be a man, her transsexual identity cannot be recognized by the society. The story will inevitably lead to tragedy. The real murderer is the so-called "good citizen" who abides by the law.
But prejudice is omnipresent. Kimberly Pierce mentioned in the documentary "Film Unrated" that the reason why "Boys Don't Cry" was rated as NC-17 was that in addition to the violence and rape scenes, there was another reason that Lanna had too long an orgasm. In a country where movies are mainly made and directed by men, the center of the sex scene is usually male, or they (I think not just MPAA) think that movies should not focus on women's orgasms. This nonsense reason makes people doubt the gloomy psychology of the review. "Brokeback Mountain" creates a sentence pattern of "everyone has a...", taking a beautiful and lyrical line, without too many sharp emotional confrontations with the real world. "Boys Don't Cry" tells us: Don't touch other people's Brokeback Mountain!

    I really don't like Hilary Swank's appearance. I can't even watch Million Dollar Baby, so I'll try it again with Feminist Angel.
