Healthy Living: Man in High Heels - Movie afterthough




Man in High Heels.

I treated myself to a movie tonight. It 3:32 AM, and I'm still up. I wonder why I do this to myself. I will probably already have a lot of sleepless night ahead of me. But you know, I want to stay up and watch this movie. It makes my gay little heart very very happy. I love gay content in entertainment. And this one is especially a very good movie. I loved it because its captures very well the feeling and heartache of someone who was born in the wrong body.

I actually think its very rare for to find a movie this good created from an Asian entertainment industry. Movies like this doesn't appealed much to mainstream audience. But its means the world to those that lives that life, a life that is not so easily accepted by society. I love every inch of the movie.
The movie captured the pain of what it meant to be different, and to hide it, and live a double life. To be who you are not to the world, and to hide your real self behind close doors. To suffer silently and to struggled with one identity. It depicted these emotions very well. It showed how LGBT individual are bullied, self harmed, and self hatred. Its depicts a man torned between his life as a man, and his desired to be true to himself, and become a women. He is the manliest of man. He is the baddest and cooliest guy on the block. But his far most kept secret is being a woman. Inside, he identity as a female. He loves a man. And nobody would really suspect from looking at him and the way he acts in real life.



What I loved most about the movie is that at the very end, it depicts a very important theme. It shows that, we cannot changed. This kind of thing is intrinsic to our heart and soul. Our sexuality and identity is one of the part that make us who we are. It a special trait.

At the very end, I loved it. I recommend it to anyone who is LGBT, or just anyone who want to watch a good movie and experience what it is like to be different. Okay, I'm really going to peace out now.

At the end of the day, the person you have to lived with is yourself. You can't lie to yourself.
