The Skin I Live In.
I remember seeing this about two years ago I think, before I even realized who I was. At first I was like what in the world is this? And then afterwards i remember telling my mom that "its not like that in real life. No one who changes their gender looks that good. I think they had two different actors for that role." But somewhere inside of me I heard a voice screaming, I wish something like that would happen to me.
A lot of things helped me along in this process, but I do kinda believe that somehow that movie affected me as well. I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen it or is familar with it. What are your thoughts on it?
I think it is a far fetched movie. The fact that the plot revolves around revenge is kinda cliche. It seems too ironic that the boy in the beginning of the film is questioning his gender and then ends up the "victim" of some doctor's revenge. But the acting is good. The emotion is real. And there is something else there I can't put my finger on. I think that movie caused me to finally start questioning who I was, and what skin I lived in.
