Depressing.

Probably one of the most depressing movies i have ever seen, too bad it was based on a true story, otherwise i wouldn't put myself in that position if it weren't true.
And the fact that it's a depressing movie not only because it have a sad ending like most movies, it's a sad tale from start to finish, the events never picks up to be playful and funny, it's just sad.

It's a tale of Teena Brandon, a lesbian girl who decide to get a boy hair cut, stuff her jeans with a pair of socks and compress her breast against her body so she can look like a boy, she decide to reverse her name to Brandon Teena and go out to bars and meet girls, she's also a felon, she's involved in grand theft auto and have a big court date waiting, she stays with her friend in his house and hoping to make enough money to get a sex change operation.

After having sex with a girl in her town, the girl's brothers chase her to her friend house, so her friend kicks her out for keep getting him in troubles, so she meets a girl that takes her to Falls city to meet her friends, so she stays there for couple of weeks and fall in love with Lana Tisdel, so since she fell in love, she decided not to go to her city and stays here, so she missed the court date, and the police issue a warrant for her arrest, so Lana Tisdel visited her in jail and found out that she was in women jail, so Teena tell her that she has a sexual identity crisis but Lana doesn't care so she takes her out of the jail, things evolve and Lana friends -John and Tom- find out that Teena is a girl pretending to be a guy, so they take her and rape her and tell her not to tell, otherwise they kill her, so Lana takes her to the police station and report the crime, so John and Tom go to the house she stayed in and kill her.

Two things i don't get, one: why after John and Tom raped her, she didn't run away and went back to her city, and Two: why John and Tom weren't arrested when Teena reported them to the police.

These things are kinda confusing but they say that "Truth is stranger than fiction" so i think she was naive and that got her killed, or she felt that she doesn't have a place to go, either way it's a depressing movie that makes you feel bad about everything.

One thing i have to mention is the amazing portrayal of Teena Brandon by Hilary Swank, not only the physical look but also the way she walked, talked and everything, i lost all my sexual fantasies when i saw her in that state and i also felt uncomfortable watching the many sex scenes that happened which is kinda why the movie score so low with me.

I've seen too many movies about real life stories of people getting killed, but i never felt so depressed, the reason why, because at least most of those people had an interesting life (or at least the movies made them interesting), here the director isn't even trying to make you entertained, it's like "hey, here you go, these are the facts, deal with them" so i really don't recommend to anyone to watch this movie, unless they really have to.
