This is not a gay story, and it's not romantic at all

This real and amazing murder story happened on the last day of 1993. The director Kimberly Pierce, who was deeply interested in this case, spent five years preparing the script to understand the deceased, a loyal and friendly public lover in the city of Forr, a criminal who used a pseudonym to defraud and tamper with checks, and a twenty Brighton has a dual gender identity. For a female director, people take it for granted that she will shoot the film with a certain feminist standpoint, but the film does not have any catharsis or criticism of society and the system, no illusory expression of love, and only reveals it from beginning to end. It's true.
First of all, as a fan of the host, Leiden has not shown his charming or perfect side to the audience from the beginning. On the contrary, we don't have a lot of favor with this girl who pretends to be a male and soaks in beauty. He went on dates with people everywhere. After his identity was leaked, his cousin’s home was affected. He had no sense of law. He hooked up with another one as soon as the trouble disappeared. But gradually, some kind of charm in him gradually attracted us, such as his kindness in front of friends, his loyalty, attentiveness, earnestness, care from every bit, etc. This is what most boys lack, and it is easier to win the opposite sex. Reasons for good impressions. Therefore, he inadvertently captured the heart of his favorite girl, Tina. Even when the conflict between Brighton's true gender was found to reach its peak, they still insisted on this unaccustomed love, but in the end, they were fantasizing. When they fled the city to live together, they still ushered in the disillusionment of their dreams.
This is not a true homosexuality, because Brighton has already identified with his male gender. He has re-modified himself from appearance to organs, hoping to gain recognition through disguise. Being different from others often leads to misunderstanding and discrimination. The lie was seen through by the most trusted friend, and the body of the patient with unspeakable gender identity disorder, Brighton, was exposed to all his former friendly playmates. He became an isolated object. The light of the picture suddenly softened, and there was silence. , He saw that his male identity was standing at the door, separated from him. In the latter gang rape, Brighton almost lost himself, and the soul that he knew as a male almost died under the humiliation of his body as a female. He became his own betrayer, and his perfect action to deceive himself was completely defeated. Tina told him that the dream could still come true, but before leaving with her, she frowned because of Brighton's slightly changed hairstyle. With all the contradictions struggling, death suddenly came, the story ended, and all the contradictions and problems disappeared.
But after the murder, I slowly recalled that there was no real specific murderer. The director did not blindly express good and evil right and wrong, but restored and demonstrated the environment and crowd in the 1990s in all aspects: all people have struggles. John, who couldn’t control his anger, and Tom, who endured impulsive self-mutilation, had both been in prison and suffered unavoidable social harm. The relationship between John and Tina was complicated. Tangtang had an illegitimate child, and Tina’s family was not complete. Homosexuals may also face the punishment of hanging by law in the city of Forr. This is a world where there is nowhere to hide. Even if ideals and freedom can be eaten, we will always be exposed on the street, in the crowd, and in sight.
Four times in the movie, there were driving plots that exquisitely expressed psychedelic and unknown colors. The first time Brighton took an adventurous and stubborn look and embarked on a path of pursuing himself and pursuing freedom; the second time he took it with him. The partners drove to avoid the police chasing and got lost in the thick fog, almost fell off the cliff, showing the blur of fate, beautiful dreams and danger coexist; the third time Brighton harvested love, and indulged in drugs with the girls The joy is far away. In fact, the car has become the most important clue of the whole film and a witness to the whole truth. This is this beautiful old-fashioned car that is often overloaded. It brings this young man who is determined to be himself. It brings a group of young people who live in the bottom of the city with pleasure. It brings a love and sweet sex experience. , A rape of gender persecution, and death.
When dawn came, the mother gently pulled Tina away from the sleeping pile. For the fourth time, Tina drove by herself, and the surrounding scenery was charming and empty.

    77/100 There are some films that focus on the darkest corners of the world and don't bother to create opportunities for the audience to reflect or inspire, almost purely telling, such as this "Boys Don't Cry". But either way, I still think the story could have been better crafted.
