Oh god I'm feleing sick right now....but what an amazing film wow specially the acting.
shareThe ending has effected me for days
I love you, Kristen Stewart. :) You are so beautiful and talented. I would love to perform with you.
I re-watched this movie for the umpteenth time at the weekend. It still holds up and, IMO, is the best movie Swank, Sevigny, and Sarsgaard, respectively, ever made.
shareGlad I am not the only one, this was a really good film though but the feelings you get from watching it and everything just thinking about it I kinda feel sick a little bit. Don't think I will be able to watch the film again, but it really is a reallly good movie.
shareIt's one of the most disturbing films I have seen too, along with At Close Range, Sleepers and Casualties Of War, which were also based on true stories.
After my original post looking at it, I still can not stomach to watch this movie for a 2nd time ;s just don't know if I can do it.
shareRequiem for a Dream has the same feeling for me. It's nearly impossible for me to sit through the end of either movie. What makes it worse is that I used to hang our with people like Tom, etc, and they captured their life in eerie detail. The little things like empties laying round, the clothing, bad cars, quick anger, sitting around doing nothing, it all brought me back. Like Teena, I was drawn into that life and it was fun - for a while, but it goes bad not quickly, more like an approaching death.
shareThis movie screws with my head more than Requiem just because of the fact that I know it really happened. Requiem is disturbing for sure (I'd highly recommend the book as well to anyone who hasn't read it), but with Boys Don't Cry, you know it's going to end horribly, and the way the finale is presented is gut-wrenching.
shareGood point! While the theme of loss and death is rooted in reality with Requiem, I wasn't aware of Brandon's fate when I first watched Boys Don't Cry. What made it harder for me to experience was there was that brief time he was basically accepted as an everyday male friend and confidant, which is something he was looking for since birth.
shareIt took me another eight years to watch Boys Don't Cry a second time. First time I saw it, I was fifteen, horribly depressed from failed surgery, and just wanted to watch something so different from the world I knew. Second time, I was twenty three, and watching movies involving rape and assault to cope with what had happened to me. Hit like a gut punch each time.
shareI was in tears at the end. It's disturbing and disquieting at the fact that humans can be this savage.
Poor man. May he rest in peace. :(
Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.
agreed
