Tatjana, a Swedish friend (that I lost) recommended me this movie a long time ago and i can't remember what have we done about this. Every time time i watch it, I cry and in the same time, i find that life is an extraordinary gift. I am just so moved by the courage and vision of Brandon and Lana. They live in such a crappy world but they don't care because their love lights everything. Rejected, bruised, raped, poor, jailed and disoriented, they are still the happier couple on earth. What better definition of love is that, what better movie can you find and what do you want me to add except that it's strange for my favorite movie that i NEVER watch the end.

After finally getting the chance to see this film, I have to say it was worth the wait. Hillary Swank's performance was outstanding, she certainly deserves the golden globe she's already won and the oscar, she's sure to be nominated for. Brandon Teena was real, no questions. The director, Kimberly Pierce deserves much credit for telling the story subtlety, no black and white, he's wrong, she's right. I came away from this movie realizing the courage you have to possess to be different, the dangers from it are real and we must admire those brave enough among us to be.

I just watched Boys don´t cry, and I am really sad about what I saw here. It is so hard to understand that there are still people out there (in America) who feel threatened if there is a queer, transsexual or just DIFFERENT person.... Hillary Swank´s outstanding,natural performance among the other great ones... the beautiful scenery and great music... the realistic setting of a hick, disillusioned village ... it all comes together to have created a wonderful, touching film that should everybody make thoughtful about why they don´t like some other people or what kind of prejudices they have.... watch that film!!
