Don’t they?

September 19, 2007

Okay, has anyone ever seen “Boys Don’t Cry” with Hilary Swank? It is an absolutely amazing movie. For those who don’t know, it’s about a young woman in the early ’90’s who feels she should be a man, so she begins cross-dressing and living her life as a man; planning all the while for an eventual sex change surgery. Anyways, being that she likes women, she eventually meets a young woman named Lana, and soon falls in love with her. Quite soon after that, Lana falls in love with “Brandon” too, thinking she is a guy, and the pair decide to run away together. But then, Lana’s friends and family find some things belonging to Brandon and confront him about them, eventually proving that “he’s” a “girl.” Lana says she doesn’t care, and still plans to run away with Brandon, until the unthinkable happens. It’s all based on a true story, and I would strongly encourage anyone with a half open mind and a bit of strength to watch it.
