Boys Dont Cry1
During ones existence, new discoveries about one's self tend to occur. One of these discoveries is identity: who we are and what we really want to be. Teena Brandon, a.k.a. Brandon Teena, goes through this tough time in the movie Boys Don't Cry. As you will see, self-identity is not an easy thing to figure out. In the movie Boys Don't Cry, Teena Brandon was born a girl. As she grew older she changed. She felt as if she was really to be a guy. She proceeded to make herself look like a male by cutting her hair shorter, wrapping an ace bandage tightly around her breasts, and putting a sock in her groin area.
Lana and John were also very effected. As shown in the movie, not only Brandon was effected by this. She then got mixed in with a new group of people and fell in love with a female named Lana. It also does a good job of showing how Lana was also confused about who she was. It is a very frustrating but at the same time helpful process. They accepted her when they thought she was a he. For instance, Brandon got along with John, Tom, Candace and Lana's mom in the beginning. It does it by showing how difficult it is for some people to figure out what and who they are and the pain they go through. When they found out that he was really a she, they despised her and called her a lesbian and a freak. They proceeded to rape and beat her. Identity can be a struggle for not only the person who is confused but also for the people around them. It is a serious situation and should be talked out with a professional. This is why many people who are confused about their identity keep it inside because they're scared of what people will think and what people will do to them.
