Hilary Swank plays Teena Brandon, a 21-year-old from Lincoln, Nebraska, who lives under the alias Brandon Teena, believing that she is a man trapped in a woman's body. In a bid to feel accepted by her group of friends, she cuts her hair short, flattens her chest with tension bandages and puts socks down the front of her pants to look more masculine. She hopes one day to fall and love with a woman, declare her secret, and be understood.
Boys Don'tCry is a bleak and emotional tale concerned with the subject of sexual identity. Brandon is a character that feels the need to dress like a man to match the inner self. To "him", he is not living a lie, despite having to disguise his physical appearance with various attire; it's society, on the whole, that has the problem accepting he is different from the norm. The gender distinctions are ...
Advantages: Great story, great writing, lots to learn Disadvantages: Not as widely known as it should be
Big Girls Don?tCry is a novel by American author Connie Briscoe, first published in 1996. It was one of her earlier novels, the second I believe, and she has written several since. She is not an author we hear much about on this side of the Atlantic, and despite having discovered Big Girls Don?tCry in the late 1990s, I?ve never sought out any of her other novels.
Big Girls Don?tCry is the story of Naomi Jefferson, a black American born in the 1950s, to a middle class family. The novel opens in 1963, when Naomi begins to discover the ugliness of racism, and takes us through to the present day (1990s). In the sixties she discovers boys, friendship and racism, and suffers tragedy; in the seventies she goes to college and becomes disillusioned with life and politics; and in the eighties she decides a career is what she needs, but its ...
Advantages: Based on a real story, excellent performance [Hillary Swank] Disadvantages: Extremely dull and not engaging
Boys Don'tCry (1999)
[film only]
I heard so many things about the beauty of this touching film that I was really tempted to watch it, and I did that only recently. It represents the real story of a man who lives in a body of a woman called Teena Brandon. Because Brandon would have wanted people to refer to "her" as a male, I'll do so in this review. Since he gets into so much trouble with the police in his city, he travels to Falls City, Nebraska to start a new life, and he goes by the name Brandon Teena. There, he meets a young woman and they fall in love before she knows anything about his female body, which he hides with bandages or enlarges with a sock in the trousers. Unfortunately, because his lover used to be in love with an ex-convict, Brandon gets into trouble. His true identity is revealed brutally, he gets raped ...
