Über diesen Film

Hilary Swank stars in her Oscar® winning role of the true life story of Brandon Teena in Boys Don't Cry. Brandon Teena is the popular new guy in a tiny Nebraska town. He hangs out with the guys, drinking, cussing, and bumper surfing, and he charms the young women, who've never met a more sensitive and considerate young man. Life is good for Brandon, now that he's one of the guys and dating hometown beauty Lana. However, he's forgotten to mention one important detail. It's not that he's wanted in another town for grand theft auto and other assorted crimes, but that Brandon Teena is actually a woman named Teena Brandon. When Brandon's best friends make this discovery, his life eventually is ripped apart by betrayal, humiliation, rape, and murder.

Bewertungen und Rezensionen

I continue to love this movie, I highly recommend it. As a female to male transguy, it was extremely emotional and well written. It shed some light on the topic, providing harsh truth. There aren't many movies that speak to transgender males, but this is definitely one. I would recommend no matter if you're straight, gay, bisexual, male, female, nonbinary, whatever. It's an all around good movie with a rollercoaster ride of emotions.

Best possible movie that I have seen in a very long time and such a moving topics as well

I didn't know that this was based on a true story. Honestly, the actors did awesome. I love this movie so much, but now my heart aches. R.I.P. angel ❤
