Boys Don’t Cry

The movie Boys Dont Cry displace be seen from a sociological perspective focusing on issues of sex, grammatical sex, identity and sexual activity in a societal context that is set taboo(p) in the movie. The whole- project or objective debate of society can be imposed in a sociological way on the movie. Brandon/Teena as a parting shows elements of being male just wants to be female, so there is conflict mingled with his/her sex and gender.The movie overall can be compared to attitudes of sexual control and violence in a patriarchal society, in which transgendered and GBLT communities are excluded from the rest of society and isolated, and are also put under a special sort of scrutiny that goes past reasonable discretion. The violence in the movie Boys Dont Cry is sort of sugar coated when compared to reality, unfortunately.Politically speaking, a liberal feminist might view Brandon/Teenas death as motivated by the state, while a radical feminist might view the whole movie as a bourgeois concept, and the post mod feminist may consider the meta-implications of the characters death within a film based supposedly on true events, but in a way that has caused controversy. Sex and gender are very important to Brandon/Teena, and just as important to the characters who persecute him/her.Sexuality, sex, and gender are related to each another(prenominal) because they all describe in relative terms maleness and femaleness in somebodys and the tendency to form male and female roles in societies. There are basic differences between these terms, even though they do inter-relate. Sex is about whether a person has the physical equipment and physiological tendencies of male or female in this sense, it is not sex delimitate as the act of getting ones kicks, but sex as it is filled out on a form, name/age/sex.Generally sex in this definition is either male or female, although there are those rare individuals who are true hermaphrodites, and there are also increasing possi bilities for trans gender individuals in this modern day. The trans gender identity can leave the borders of sex and gender intact. In these modern times, sex is for the most part an either/or proposition that is based on physiology. Gender, on the other hand, is based on culture and behavior rather than strictly on physiology. And sexuality is about what the individual likes or is attracted to.Sex refers to biological differences, while gender refers to the cultural construction of male and female characteristics gender roles are the tasks and activities assigned by the culture to the sexes sexual orientation refers to a persons ordinary sexual attractions and activities Sexual norms vary considerably cross culturally and through time (Sex, 2008). Film makers can present their stories any way they want, because it is a free society. It is up to the audience to choose which movies to see.After watching this movie, if I had a son like Brandon, I would let him do whatever he wanted i n public or private, as long as he wasnt hurting anyone. If his school kicked him out for wearing dresses, I would sue the school and stay on his side. You are supposed to love your children unconditionally. If my son thought he was a girl, I wouldnt be uptight about it or fiendish myself.
