'Boys Don't Cry' Director Turns Her Lens on What It Means to Be a Soldier

LOS ANGELES -- Don't try to tell director Kim Peirce that her new movie "Stop-Loss" is about the Iraq war. "It's not," she says. Case closed.

It is, however, her first feature film in nine years -- since her Oscar-winning debut "Boys Don't Cry" -- and considering its obvious influences ("The Best Years of Our Lives," "Coming Home" and, most pronouncedly, "The Deer Hunter"), it's a postwar movie made before the war is over.
