Natalie Bell (12): When I first decided to watch the movie Boys Don't Cry I didn't exactly know what it was. I didn't know the plot, and I especially didn't know it was a true story. the forst few times I saw the movie it obviously broke my heart, but there was also something about it, like there was a message hidden inside it and I just couldn't quit dig it out. This last week I found out the movie was true, and this is 2 years after its release. I watched the movie over again and I realized what the message was, and it gave me a total different outlook on life in general. Teena had grown up a world where homosexuality, or anything different in that matter wasn't excepted. So over her brutal childhood, and teenage years of hating who she was she slowly transformed herself into a man. But her last few days alive Lana knew she was a woman. I would say Lana was a bit distraut but mostly she was in love. I think Teena taught her how to love. So even though the both of them were living in a world of hate Lana showed kind ness in the hardest position. One of the messages the movie let's out is that in a way we've all grown up in a world of hate, and we've all sort of changed ourselves to better suit this world, and we've all seen acts of kindness and suddenly realized how cruel our world really is, so in the short run all we can honestly get from Teena's life is the truth. And all we can do about her death is learn from her life and don't make her same mistakes.
