Boys Don't Cry

[aniya]

Currently watching the movie on Netflix. Anybody else on here seen it? It's really good!

[Keaira]

I've partly watched it. I've heard it can be heartbreaking to some as well. But I found what I had seen to be pretty powerful stuff.

[Kreuzfidel]

I have.  I liked it, but it's difficult to watch because so much obviously hits home.

[aniya]

It's definitely a powerful movie and I will definitely have to prepare the tissues soon!

[Keaira]

Soldier's Girl was pretty powerful too.

[aniya]

Haven't seen or heard about that one, I must check it out!

Are these trans movies?

Mhmhm.

I cried too hard at this movie.
Even though I'm not ftm.

I never shed a tear in an MTF movie though. Odd

[Kyyn]

About to watch it...

Boy or not, probably gonna cry

i don't like being constantly reminded of this movie, something my mom likes to do on occasion. but i felt really uncomfortable reading "It's really good!" umm, brandon was raped and murdered. that movie is powerful and moving but incredibly sad and should come with a trigger warning. i'm sorry but it's kinda like me popping over to the ladies thread and saying, "have you seen the Gwen Araujo story? it's really good!"

[JenJen2011]

I'm sure when they said it's really good they were not referring to brandon being raped and murdered. Don't take it to heart. I thought the Gwen Araujo movie was good and I'm MTF. It shows people how we're normal and just want to live our lives but cold-hearted people exist and cause us harm because of it.

I think these movies are good for opening up people's eyes and for them to stop thinking Jerry Springer every time they hear the word transsexual.

I know, :/ the water heater got me up early so I may have been extra touchy so I'm sorry if I came off like an ass. But I still hate being reminded of these stories, they skew my parents thought process. I like seeing success stories on YouTube

Great movie, but really sad as others have said.

[barbie]

It was an impressive movie.

Generally, in the US movies and media, they seem to be more tolerant of violence, but very picky on sex and eroticism.

Barbie~~

have seen it but didnt like it.

it might have been cause of my age, I got the felling this was what would happent to me as being trans.
because of that I didnt like it.
I liked soilder girl better, also very sad, but also very beutiful.

My favorite trans movies are still non of these, Romeos, and beutiful boxer, or la vire en rosa.
I like them when they have some sort of happy ending,

[Nygeel]

I can't watch Boys Don't Cry. It's too triggering

[he who shall not be named]

Soldier's Girl was pretty powerful too.

OH GOD Soldier's Girl ;_____; I cried when I watched it, and I never cry over movies.

Boys Don't Cry was really good too. I watched a documentary about Brandon Teena after watching the movie, and it made it just that much more upsetting.

[aniya]

When I posted that this movie was really good I never meant the rape scene. I just think that the whole production of the movie and the awareness it shows is really good. Also I understand this movie is hard to watch for some of you and I completely understand. I like to think though that our past makes us stronger, and I know all of you are so much stronger now!

Honestly I just heard about that movie last semester in my Criminal Justice class.  We had to watch documentary.  I'm surprised I don't remember too much about the commentary from the class afterwards.
