“Boys Don’t Cry,” October 17, 2000 (1999), video. Very well acted story of Teena Brandon, aka Brandon Teena, a ftm ts in the Great Plains region. A bad end to be sure. Wonderfully acted, especially by Hillary Swank as Brandon (an Oscar) and Chloe Sevingny as her girl friend. But from what I’ve heard, not all that accurate. She is, of course, murdered at the end, but the reality was much more complicated, and she was much less amiable and wonderful than presented here. Still, a very good film
