I just saw that movie and believe me I cried

I don't want to see that movie, I'm still not over the one about Gwen Araujo.

Yeah, I don't think I could ever watch it. 

I've watched it many, many times.
There's also a good documentary called "The Brandon Teena Story" - highly reccomended. Although that too will make you cry, as they actually interview Lana and Brandon's Mother, as well as the ->-bleeped-<-s that killed him.
Boys Don't Cry is a very important film, I made my parents watch it. My partner couldn't handle it.

Are your parents supportive or?

Really good movie. True life tragedy but of great importance.
Great acting too - Winona Ryder, I think?

Hilary Swank.

Goddammit I knew that!! Was too lazy to look it up bc i jus couldnt remember.

They are now, 6 years down the line. Exceptionally so, after they had a rough adjustment period.
I made them watch it shortly after I had come out to them. Thier response at the time was "Yes, it's sad - but people of all genders and sexualities get murdered. Do you see them making movies about those people?"
I guess they didn't really get it...

ive seen boys dont cry, great movie. i have to make time to see the brandon teena story sometime.

I haven't seen it yet, but in my history class next year there's going to be a transgender unit (I signed up to be with my same history teacher next year because I loved him so much, and I was shocked and amazed to find out he does that as a unit), and we'll watch that movie then. My friend who was in that class told me about it, and told me that the movie was quite depressing and sad, but good. I'm a little afraid to see it; I don't want to have horrible memories of it floating around in my brain to mull over, and I'd rather not cry in front of my class.

I couldn't finish watching it the first time I attempted to. It took me a few times before I could watch through the entire movie. It scared the ->-bleeped-<- out of me.

Haven't seen it -- I did see the one about Gwen Araujo, I'm still not over it, either. I first saw it back when I was 5. Prayers for Bobby was upsetting, too. I really wanted to hug him the entire movie.

I did see this other one about this kid named Sam, he raced cars. He got sent to this hospital with a bunch of other FTMs where they were force-fed stereotypical women's roles... I can't remember what it was called. Ringing a bell to anyone?

I know what it's about, and I really don't want to see it. I don't like to think about all of the scary stuff that could happen to us, I've been actively avoiding it. T.T

I watched it exept from the end.
I didnt cry but I had a very bad felling, I stoped in the raping scene and readed that he died,
and it where the second time I had seen a transgender people die, in something based on a real story.
so I felt like someone where pointing out "this what could happent to you"
brrrr

This kind of sounds like "The Last Time I Wrore A Dress" which is a book.

I watched it a few days ago too. j _ j for me I think the saddest film I have ever watched because obviously I connected more with Brandon than any other character in a movie so far. It really affected me.

Watched it way back when it was in the theaters, can't bear to watch it again. Very difficult true story to watch and experience, very sad.

I made myself watch it, but kinda wish I hadn't. Even though I knew what happened, a couple of the scenes were haunting.

Never watched it. I kind of can't bring myself to, as dumb as that probably sounds.

Never watched it.  Probably will never watch it.

I already know what happened and I can't subject myself to seeing it voluntarily.  I think it would probably be damaging to my mental health.
