| Chloe Sevigny & Hilary Swank Boys Don't Cry |
Marching on with Pride Month today we are going to Hump Day & Chill to a film that truly earns the moniker "important" Kimberly Pierce's Boys Don't Cry.
Hilary Swank plays transgender FTM Brandon Teena and won the first of two Oscars for her sensitive and deep portrayal of him. His love interest Lana is played by the equally great Chloe Sevigny. Their love on screen is tangible.
This is based on a true life story, here is how it goes:
"Young female-to-male transgender Brandon Teena (Hilary Swank) leaves his hometown under threat when his ex-girlfriend's brother discovers that he's biologically female. Resettling in the small town of Falls City, Nebraska, Brandon falls for Lana (Chloë Sevigny), an aspiring singer, and begins to plan for their future together. But when her ex-convict friends, John (Peter Sarsgaard) and Tom (Brendan Sexton III), learn Brandon's secret, things change very quickly."
So raise a glass and give a big Hump Day & Chill toasts to one of the best LGBTQ films ever made. Swank will astound you in this!
