Boys Don’t Cry
The movie I chose to watch is the 1999 movie Boys Don’t Cry. This is an intense, sad, and emotional movie that displays the true life story of Brandon Teena’s gender identity disorder. The main character played by Hilary Swank, is a girl named Teena Brandon that lives life as a male named Brandon Teena. Throughout the movie you see the struggles and danger he faces in an unforgiving community. Gender identity disorder is when a person feels and identifies themselves as the opposite sex. This can be seen in their choice of sexual partners, behavior, dress, and mannerisms. In the movie Brandon dressed like a man, talked like a man, and pursued women like a man.
