Brokeback left me feeling empty and flat. <BR/><BR/>Transamerica starts with the premise I am a transsexual and here are my conflicts, here is my journey dealing with it... vs. Brokeback's I am gay, no I shouldn't be gay, no it isn't safe to be gay, I think I'll deny that I am gay and hurt everyone in my path.<BR/><BR/>I agree it was tragic to watch Michelle Wms character in particular silently and knowingly suffer, and was happy to see her move on. <BR/><BR/>But I felt that Felicity Hoffman's character did a better job of trying to work through her conflicts, her responsibility to her son, and ultimately face her issues head on. I admired her courage, and as I said, heart, especially in the face of society's lack of understanding and judgement around sexual orientation/gender identity.<BR/><BR/>Check it out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24538881.post-1154368686636185062006-07-31T10:58:00.000-07:002006-07-31T10:58:00.000-07:00That movie was deeply troubling...a whole life liv...That movie was deeply troubling...a whole life lived and lost to lies and closed minds and fear and cruelty. <BR/><BR/>It was so stark and sorrowful...jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17557337686714059159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24538881.post-1154368616938022042006-07-31T10:56:00.000-07:002006-07-31T10:56:00.000-07:00I'm running out to read that movie right now...you...I'm running out to read that movie right now...you you you endless source of insight and entertainment.

You saw so clearly that there was just nowhere for her to go. <BR/><BR/>Heath Ledger! Jake Gillenhall!

As this movie shows, life isn't so black and white. Unfortunately, there are "roadside casualties" that affect everyone's life involved.
