Review of Boys Don't Cry (1999) by Amy J — 27 Nov 2009
It is nevertheless a movie worth watching for the younger generation. It captivates the hidden drama in scenes of immense action and excitement. There is a big question of morality, a really big one, but the soul of the whole film lies underneath that controversial theme.
Director Kimberly Peirce has set the dimension of the film into a semi-stage play of attitude and circumstance conflicting characters resulting into a bombardment of failures. The romance between Teena Brandon (Hilary Swank) and Lana Tisdel (Chloe Sevigny) has cultivated the theme for self expression and human rights for the third gender.
