    Undeniably touching

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 14, 2004 | 2 out of 2 found this Boys Don t Cry (1999) review helpful

    Pros: Moving, powerful, realistic, beautifully made

    Cons: Not for the weak

    This film is heart-wrenching. The story of Brandon Teena (aka Teena Brandon) is beautifully told even though it was a tremendous tragedy. Hillary Swank deserves every bit of praise for the amazing role she played. The direction and the actors real...ly made Brandon Teena's powerful and very moving story come to life. It makes you realize what a diverse world we live in, and to consider everyone's frame of mind, even if it might not fit perfectly into yours. This film is very highly reccommended, but beware: it's not for children or pre-teens, it's too graphic. Save this one for the adults. Read more Less

    Leaves a permanent impact in your heart!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 8, 2003

    Pros: Very realistic

    Cons: I wish they had added some more info at the end of what else happened with this case. For example, why did Lana return to a town that brought her nothing but night mares

    I found that after watching the movie "Boys Don't Cry," I was so disturbed by how Brandon Teena was abused and killed; I couldn't sleep for hours. I cried. I recently met someone on the Internet who feels she's a man inside a wo...man's body, and the very thought that she could be abused and possibly be killed like Brandon Teena scared and angered me. Nobody asked to be born a transsexual; all they want is to be free to love, and truly loved in return. Hillary Swank, I thought was herself a lesbian, but after reading things about her work, she is a heterosexual woman happily married to Chad Lowe. I am amazingly impressed by her perfect performance in "Boys Don't Cry." I'm glad she won an Oscar for her performance. Unfortunately, this was based on a true story; and after having watch the movie, I wished I could have known the real Teena Brandon. I still want to understand her and be a real friend she could turn to for support. This movie opened my eyes to a whole new world for me, and giving a new feeling about an area in life that will stick with me for the rest of my life. Thank you Hillary Swank for a very realistic and excellent performance of an ugly and brutal side of mankind's hatred while opening my heart to care about the Brandon Teena's of the world.
