You don’t seem like you’re from around here.It’s one of those films that any film lover has to see to judge for themselves. A critical darling and an award winner, it’s a film of undoubted emotional power. It is based on the tragic case of Teena Brandon (Hilary Swank) who was raped and murdered in 1993, it would become one of the significant cases of hate crime in American history.
From the off Kimberly Peirce’s film sets out its stall that we are in bleak territory, and so it proves. It dangles little shards of light, but constantly it proves uncompromising and unpleasant. There’s a nagging irk that main characters are very thinly drawn, where motives are given short shrift, and this is bizarre given that the pic runs for nearly two hours. However, the performances of both Swank and Chloë Sevigny are outstanding, and Peirce handles the darkest scenes in the movie with a grace and tact that deserves applause.
A tale that needed to be told, even in truncated form, Boys Don’t Cry is fine cinema making. 8/10
The atmosphere completely different from that nowadays. This was probably the first time for man to express his own feelings and sexual identity in public. So, it was something like a Big Bang for people who experienced fact that some of their kith are “such a weirdos”.
If you compare understanding of people today and only about 2 decades ago you can see that struggle for freedom and equality always exists, but they’re a bit different. I may say the sexual revolution has just started and, if you compare some movie from 2000th, 2020th and (probably) 2040th, you will see people are starting to be more aware of changing in global sexual situation and, what is more important, it won’t be taboo topic in the future.Kimberly Pierce made Teena Brandon being born-girl, living-boy. Teena was a very brave person, worth living more than “boys from gangs” without any drop of emotion and understanding others, in themselves.
Person is changing during his life. People are changing during universal time. This is part of so called evolution. Not necessary revolution!
Be who you are 🙂

THE BLUEST EYES IN TEXAS
The lonesome Texas sun was setting low
And in the rear view mirror I watched it go
I can still see the wind in her golden hair
I close my eyes for a moment, I’m still hereThe bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight
Like the stars that fill
The midnight sky
Her memory fills my mind
(Where did I go wrong)
Did I wait too long
Or can I make it right
The bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonightAnother town, another hotel room
Another dream that ended way too soon
Left me lonely way before the dawn
Searching for the strength to carry onThe bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight
Like the stars that fill
The midnight sky
Her memory fills my mind
(Where did I go wrong)
Did I wait too long
Or can I make it right
The bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonightFor every heart you break
You pay a price
But I can’t forget the tears
In her blue eyesThe bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight
Like the stars that fill
The midnight sky
Her memory fills my mind
(Where did I go wrong)
Did I wait too long
How can I make it right
The bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonightThe bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight…………………………………………………………………………………….

Remarkable depiction of real life drama
After finally getting the chance to see this film, I have to say it was worth the wait. Hillary Swank’s performance was outstanding, she certainly deserves the golden globe she’s already won and the oscar, she’s sure to be nominated for. Brandon Teena was real, no questions. The director, Kimberly Pierce deserves much credit for telling the story subtlety, no black and white, he’s wrong, she’s right. I came away from this movie realizing the courage you have to possess to be different, the dangers from it are real and we must admire those brave enough among us to be.
almost 2 hours of self-indulgent, basically bad people doing bad things to one another and themselves
Brandon Teena / Teena Brandon is the lead character in this story. According to him, he has a sexual identity crisis and is really a man with female body parts. But then again, according to Brandon he also has a sister that’s a model in Hollywood. He’s on his way to Memphis. He’s going buy a trailer park, have friends over every night for barbecue, and live in his own Air Stream trailer. What Brandon is, at least according to the screen play, is a compulsive liar who’s on the run from the law for grand theft auto and likes to live his life on the edge with a group of dangerous, self destructive 90s Charlie Manson wannabes. Brandon drinks and smokes with the boys. He shows off by risking his life tailgate skiing. He seduces the girls with his feminine side. And in the end, the lies no longer hold together. Where Brandon and the movie end is no surprise; it’s just too bad it took so long getting there. `Boys Don’t Cry’ is almost 2 hours of self-indulgent, basically bad people doing bad things to one another and themselves. Neither the situation nor the people are worth any of your time. Skip this one.
