Summary: A tough story handled well
Review: To be honest, my first inclination was to shy away from the Brandon Teena Story because the sales pitch led me to believe it was about homophobia. While I don't consider myself homophobic, I must say the very serious subject matter made me hesitant to view the film. Originally, I'm from a small town and moved to a big city. We had no gay people in my town........that we were aware of.After having summoned up my courage.... surprise............I actually enjoyed it and feel it is one of the most important films I've ever seen. The film delicately demonstrated that homophobia, like racism and sexism, is really about hatred. Far from blaming individuals, the Brandon Teena story demonstrates how society teaches people to isolate, hurt and even kill those around them who are different from the mainstream. This larger theme made me think about the ways that I am different from the masses, and it made me realize that people who are different from me don't want special treatment; they just want to live their lives in peace like I do. While quite moving, I won't lie and say the Brandon Teena Story was "easy viewing" grappling as it does with hidden and painful issues. The film motivated me, in a non-judgemental manner, to reexamine my values. And it made me wish that my small corner of suburbia hadn't been so 'white bread'. Maybe if I had known more people who were different from me during my childhood, I wouldn't be such a judgmental adult.
