Summary Boys Don’t Cry

Movie: “Boys don’t cry”

The movie is about a girl pretending as a guy. It is a real life story that happened in Lincoln in 1993. The story began in this way. The girl pretending to be a guy went into a bar and met this girl called Candace whom took "him" to Falls city. She used “Brandon” as her “guy name”. When he (Brandon) first met Candace, he tried to act tough, just like a guy do in a bar, he picked up a fight with a guy simply because the guy was talking to Candace and he didn’t like it. On that same night, he went with Candace and her friends to Falls City. Over there, he hangs out with guys that talks about the kind of girls that they used to date, then he noticed about this girl called Lana. Trying to prove himself as a guy and get Lana's attention, he jumps onto the back of a truck and is pulled as a dog. From his facial expression, I could tell that he is scared, but doesn’t want to give up in front of “his friends”, he later got injured badly. He seems to care about Lana a lot, when he went into a store to get pad for his periods he saw Lana being really drunk. He didn’t want to leave her all alone there, so he drove her home and take care of her. In the store, Lana shows some interest in a certain ring, he end up steeling it and put it in her room when he left. Lana introduce Brandon to her mom, he made up lies to the people that he has a father in Memphis and a sister working as a model living with their mum in Hollywood. He has to put tissues and a fake penis in his pants to make him look like a man. Also, he puts cloths to tie around this breast, to hide it. There is once that he had an argument with his friends in Falls city, because of not stopping when the police was after them.

To show his toughness again, one of his friends gave him a knife to cut himself by saying that’s how guys have fun. He made the comment that “I think I am a pussy compare to you” I, personally think this is very strange, so, does he still thinks he is a girl? Or does he just think that guys do think girls are weaker? Later on Lana came to see him off after work before he left to go back home, that is where they have their first kiss. When he went back home and his brother asked about what was going on? He told him everything that happened to him in Falls City and of course about Lana as well. He made the comment that “ I am gonna ask her to marry me”, “I am not going to fuck it up this time” from the statements above, I could see that he has done the same thing before but it didn’t work out. There is once that he is making out with Lana that Lana tires to pull off his shirts, but he was stopped her, during the making out, Lana saw that Brandon has breast!!!! And was horrified but didn’t say a word about it. Suddenly, everyone just happened to notice Brandon was girly, Candace knew from that pant that he had his period and John got to know when he went to Lincoln to search for his identity. Brandon was put in jail and Lana came to see him, he tried to explain to her that he is half girl and half boy, a person that have both sex organs. Lana was very emotional and made the comment that “I don’t care you are half monkey or half ape, I am getting you out of here.” Now, everyone knew that he’s a girl, but still forces him to pull off his pants and asked him “ARE YOU A GIRL OR NOT?” Lana still believes Brandon is a guy not a girl. Two guys pulled him into the
