Summary of The Brandon Teena Story (Collector's Edition)
To his girlfriends he was the perfect boyfriend. To his killers he was a gender-bending freak. To the law he got what he deserved. Ultimately Brandon Teena became an American tragedy.When it arrived on the big screen in 1988 THE BRANDON TEENA STORY was powerful intense and intimately personal--audiences were stunned and outraged by this chilling portrait of intolerance. The inspiration for the Oscar?- winning film Boys Don't Cry the documentary went on to be an international theatrical hit and has since earned status as one of the seminal documentary films of the 1990s.System Requirements:Running Time: 88 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DOCUMENTARIES/BIOGRAPHY UPC:?767685114773 Manufacturer No:?NNVG114771Brandon Teena was a handsome boy who had tremendous success with women because he always seemed to know exactly what they wanted. Perhaps it helped that Brandon Teena was born Teena Brandon, a young woman who desperately wanted to be a man. But Brandon lived in a small Midwestern town, where his sexual identity crisis wasn't tolerated, inciting two so-called friends to brutally murder him and two other innocents. This true story, which was the basis for the feature film Boys Don't Cry, is recounted in the award-winning (Best Documentary at both the Vancouver and Berlin film festivals) documentary The Brandon Teena Story.
This insightful film is both fascinating and horrifying, as we are treated to news footage and interviews with Brandon's family, friends, former girlfriends, as well as the two men who are in jail (one on death row) for the rape and later murder of Brandon. Throughout the film, the viewer's disgust grows as recordings of Brandon with the police department of Falls City, Nebraska, are played; when Brandon reports his rape, the questioning is turned around on him, making him the guilty party for his sexuality. Ignorance and hatred abound in the small town, although many of his ex-girlfriends are surprisingly sympathetic. While there is nothing graphic in this film, it is unexpectedly difficult to watch at moments; the drama, however, is gripping and the message an important one to hear. --Jenny Brown
