Inace ja nisam svesna da svet ne moze da prihvati osobe kao Brendon, ali sam svesna da licemeri ne mogu... Ipak jedno je neprihvatanje, a drugo silovanje, izivljavanje i ubistvo... Ubili su i onu zenu pred detetom i sad na kraju filma videh tamo jedan trazi pomilovanje a drugi saradjivao na sudu. Ma uzas! Ja bih im odredila smtrnu kaznu bez prava na pomilovanje - i to im je preblago.
Da, ladno su Candace ubili pred bebom, i totalno bez razloga!!!! Mogli su da joj zaprete da ?e joj ubiti dete ako išta progovori i da odnesu leševe sa sobom... ona kao majka ?utala bi zbog svog deteta.... U potpunosti se slažem sa Hipatijom ... Kakvo crno pravo na pomilovanje, na elektri?nu stolicu odmah (injekcija je bezbolna smrt, ne zaslužuju je)!
Provalite šta sam našao na imdb.com:
- To prepare for her role, Hilary Swank lived life as a man for at least a month, including wrapping her chest in tension bandages and putting socks down the front of her pants much the same way that Brandon Teena did.
- Working title: "Take It Like a Man."
- The movie is based on the life of Teena Brandon.
- When Hilary Swank was living as a man to prepare for the role of Brandon Teena, she was so convincing that her neighbors believed that the young man coming and going from Swank's home (Swank in male character) was a visiting brother of hers.
- Director Kimberly Peirce said that she used the same shots in the opening roller rink scene that were used in The Wizard of Oz (1939) when Dorothy first left her house and entered the land of Oz.
- Hilary Swank won the lead role of Brandon/Teena after hundreds of other actresses had been considered and rejected over the course of three years. She told director Kimberly Peirce that, like her character, she was also 21 and came from Lincoln, Nebraska. But she was fibbing, and when Pierce later confronted her with the lies, she responded, "But that's what Brandon would do."
- The title of the movie is taken from a song by The Cure.
