I wonder if Calpernia still went into a relationship after Barry's death. Not that I'm saying she couldn't, it's just that finding the kind of love that Barry has for Calpernia happens only once in a person's life. Whether straight woman/man or transwoman/man. His love is real, clean, and passionate. If I could find a person who would love me like that, I don't think I'll find another one even after they died. I don't know that's just the kind of person I am. Great love is happens only once.
This movie is sweet and sad the same time. I loved it, but what makes this movie a little bit bullshit is they made the murderer and the culprit appear that they have psychological issues when clearly in the real story they know exactly what they're doing. They maybe were drunk but they do not have a psychological problem. Because 1st of all you will not get accepted in the military or any armed forces of united states if you have problems mentally.
otimo otimo so que eu como transsex nao operada nao sei ainda quem deseja um trans e hetero ou gay ou que e nem eu que sou trans sei mas o filme e otimo eu recomendo
It's sad knowing that it's based off of a true story, and being stationed at the army post where it happened at, and knowing that this still happens is sickening. It may not happen to the severity of the incident that happened in this movie, but it still happens.
@Armychick0729 I know it still happens and the severity doesn't matter. What matters is that there are people like you out there that see it and find it sickening. I know that there really isn't much you yourself can do to change what the world is, knowing that there are people like you in it gives us all hope for the future. God bless and Thank you for your service to our country
It is sp amzing what people do to some one finding out the eaither they have some time of curiousity of being with an other man or a trangender women as I am this movie has touch me in somany ways and I can related to it in some parts it so tragic but nso true this movie is pretty much is base on real fact that does happen only if there was a way we could cahnge it
On a lighter note, this movie made me question my sexuality. Lee Pace dancing to "the Consequences of Falling" by KD Lang is surprisingly one of the hottest things I've ever seen.
I'm aware this movie was based on real events with real people, but I think the ending of the movie was a little unsatisfying. If Winchell was accurately portrayed, then he wouldn't have wanted Calpernia to have the surgery. It's sad that she never accepted and loved who she really was...but at least she's happy now.
@WandererInWonderland Accepting and loving who she is is EXACTLY what she's done. If someone needed to have their appendix removed, would you criticize them for "not being happy with who they are?" Or people who wear eye glasses? Or people who correct any birth defect you can name? It's the same type of thing. She IS and WAS a woman. The surgery was another way to help the outside match what was inside.
I think you are confusing gender identity with sexuality. The character Calpernia is transsexual NOT gay - she identifies as a woman, irrespective of her anatomy and thanks to taking hormones she already has breasts. Winchell saw and loved her as a woman, not as a man, so he is NOT gay and understandably he would wish to support her need for surgery.
I did my 12th grade term paper on the "dont ask, don't tell" policy and we had to include people or whatever and I found Barry Winchell and read & wrote all about him in my paper. I learned about this movie and I decided to buy it. When I watched it, I cried so hard. That had never happened to me before while watching a movie.
This movie really really upsets me. I watched it when i was 16 and not expecting the outcome to end like that at all. It's horrible that ppl can't be open minded or even accepting. Never the less it's a great movie.
I did a google image search on Calpernia Addams after reading comments bashing Lee Pace's "masculine appearance". She looked/looks very plastic and artificial. Lee Pace looks lovely and without the benefit of any hormone therapy. I can't believe people are seriously having issues with his "masculinity".
i dont think i can watch this movie...i would just die, it's too depressing but i really want to watch it but i'll end up crying like a baby...i mean i'm still not over Queer as Folk
A Wolffian Male Soldier falls in love with the forbidden Wolffian Female, happens more often the folks realize. Even Müllerian Females fall in love with many Wolffian Females and never really realize why they did, but it is really due to the fact the Wolffian they married thinking they were a typical Wolffian Male, had very Female characteristics instead, being in fact Female.
I'm a Wolffian Female, like many before, who marries a Müllerian Female, hoping to cancel the 'Female' in myself, NOT!
Not sure what your point is here. You seem to be hung up on internal anatomy.
Woffian (male urogenital structures that include the epididymis, vas deferens, and seminal vesicles) and Mullerian organs (female internal structures - fallopian tubes, uterus, and upper one third of the vagina) are internal structures entirely irrelevant in this context, which is about gender identity which resides in the brain.
Why is this not more sensational than Brokeback Mountain? First of all, I like how accurate this movie is and the fact that it shows 2 people being victimized for loving each other...Unlike BBM that features gay guys cheating on their wives...whatever the plot/reasoning was in that movie, gay/straight, cheating is still cheating. Bottom line: SG is underrated, more poignant and haunting than BBM. I especially LOVED the boat scene...makes me cry for some reason
@blackviper88 The differences between both movies are not that simple. Like Soldier's Girl, Brokeback Mountain deals with sexual identity and the problematic concept of love/ attraction in an unwelcome, traditionally heterosexual environment. Although the relationship in Soldier's Girl is a public one that faces violence at every turn, the threat of violence is also present (and eventually happens) in the secret, extramarital relationship between Brokeback Mountain's main characters.
Slight correction. This film is about Gender Identity, BBM is about sexuality. Totally different subjects. You are correct in pointing out that both relationships are subjected to violence as is any relationship that appears (to the intellectually challenged out there) to be 'different'.
@cmauffray1 how is he spoiling the END when this MOVIE IS BASED OFF A REAL STORY, Type BARRY WINCHELL in damn google bar and u will see that this person REALLY did die for loving a TS named CALPERNIA ADDAMS, who looks and sounds NOTHING like the guy in drag that portrays her. Which thru me off cause um Troy actually almost looks like Barry but Lee looks NOTHING like Calpernia, anyways she's brave, if i was in her i can't say that I could be as strong, yet alone watch a movie about my man's DEATH
@theeldergoth Actually, pansexual mean you don't judge someone on what they are. You love them for them. A transsexual is what ever sexuality they choose. Gay, or straight, or what ever.
This movie is awesome it shows how terrible people can be sometimes. The scenes are very. The first time I watched the movie I was shocked by the facts I did not know anything about the real facts behind the story and still I could not sleep that night, the feelings: how helpless and cruel that death was how stupid how not necessary. I highly recommend this movie
Wow, this looks really good. I have to say, I am pretty ignorant about transexuals, I don't know any, and I haven't heard much about them. I don't know what sexuality people who are attracted to transexuals are, (is there such word as transexual-sexual?) so it will be very interesting seeing a movie dealing with all these questions I have :D
@subsilk1 I realized now that I have sounded incredible insensitive in my post. But if it is a transsexual still in transition, the heterosexual term has to be broadened a bit, I would say. Of course, if a transsexual woman already has transitioned, then obviously men who are attracted to her, are straight. But in that gray-zone in between, everything is a bit fluid.
Saw this movie now, and loved it, the most touching movie I have ever seen, never have I cried so much.
@WallehA if someone is atrracted to a transsexual man or woman still in transition, you call it pansexual. (or maybe thats just what we call it in germany).
being pansexual means being attracted by bio men, bio women and transexuals/intersexuals and actually everything else :3
Thank you for sharing. It is interesting how the most deepest tabues of society come up to the surface. I had homosexual partners in both military and medical fields, yet they honored their uniforms and institutions not matching their sexual preferences with their or some other's work. If this was true and in spite of all is plainly disgusting. Sorry
I haven't seen this film, but if you've ever seen Calpernia, you would know that she actually has a very feminine voice, not like the character in this film. Either way this definitely looks worth watching.
@goosebumpsgirlgirly4 Just for the movie, but damn did he perform that role well. Watch some of his interviews for the movie, he was almost still in character. However, you'll see a definite difference in how he acts if you compare those to his recent interviews.
When I first heard that Lee Pace was playing a transsexual woman, I was like "Ahhh, no... He does NOT look feminine in any way, he's way to hot as a guy!"
I was obviously proven wrong! He looks quite womanly and pretty in this role...
I have not seen the movie yet, but after seeing this trailer I am curious to see how good the movie is, especially after I saw him in an interview saying that he got a role (I think he was talking about Pushing Daisies) through this movie...
This movie is SO AWESOME! I haven't thought of it in ages until I heard Lee Pace was going to be in Twilight: Breaking Dawn. He acted the HELL outta that role. [shuffles off to Amazon to order film...]
ah if only I could bash in heads everytime somebody did something I disliked... this movie is really f'd up.. until the tragic outcome a beautiful love story.. gay or straight how may people can say they've experienced love like that. Very well done and Pace looked amazing.. and I'm straight
i'm also a transvestite....this story breaks my heart! i was in tahiti when i meet this american soldiers it was a the only club in tahiti where i was drinkin my margarita when a group of soldiers come to me and ask my name...i was so embarrassed to let them know i'm a transvestite!so what they see on me is a real girl so i keep my identity...1 guy had my attention & i went out on him!but our relationship ends because he is a soldier!and he wants his name to be clean!
@rea1431 That's so sad. i watched the movie too and i loved it. it's definitely a love story. being gay, transvestite doesn't' make the person a freak. I hate it when people criticize gay and transvestite people. i think that all people are free to do ANYTHING they want as long as they don't hurt other. I am pretty sure that soldier misses you, and he's going to regret not being with you, anymore. good day :)
@normayestela that's EXACTLY how i explain it to people. as long as you're not hurting anyone, then who cares? it's what my mother taught me, and what i'm going to teach my children.
beyond words. Lee Pace deserved an Oscar for this role, hello? he actually made himself a girl. He was a beautiful,sensitive girl in this movie. Oh my Gosh, he is so talented and very very charming! Lee Pace rules
@misshalicious what about cillian murphy in Breakfast in Pluto? there are plenty others who have played transexuals, so you might want to add your reasoning besides the fact that he made himself a girl. (I'm not saying he didn't deserve it or anything.)
Lee Pace is handsome, im straight but lets me tell you something, he in this movie looks really beautiful! You know when you saw a girl in a movie and is like you are in love with that girl all the movie! But in the end is a guy o.o
just watched it and my God fisher and glover were just nuts how the movie displayed them to be. but are they? i think they are insecure homophobics and they did the killing as intentional and they knew exactly what they were doing. i mean come on that fisher guy was making out with a transsexual himself. what the hell? the movie was kind enough to give them mentally ill sentiment to those ridiculous murderers. hope they rot in hell.
I just found out a fact (which is probably an old news in US) that the director (frank pierson) apparently is the screenwriter of my (one of) all time favourite movie : DOG DAY AFTERNOON (1975)! Which also follows a story about tranvestite-straight love relationship
Well, anyone find a bit 'unusual'? or just a coincedence? it seems like a parallel storyline (and both films were based on true events for sure as well) Is he a "renowned master" in this field? I wouldn't know
Actually content this is a story of true love not of the mentally ill the only mentally ill person here is you for taking something as beautiful as love and trash talking it I bet you aren't even loved i think you need the real help your probably as fucked up as the guy who killed barry winchell you dumb ass
Everyone's a little freaky in their own way. My mother was told she was all sorts of sick when she married my Dad, because she's punjabi and he's white. Can I ask why you are so hostile towards transexuality?
Aww its brill to see Lee pace did some other acting before pushing daisies tho i had seen him in the fall i love pretty much everything he's in and i really want to see this
I'm..... bothered by the casting for Calpernia. I know her. There's nothing remotely masculine about her. Not her face, not her voice. She's not even that bloody tall. And not only did Gay Rights groups co-opt her story for their own purposes, trivializing her womanhood so they could call the murder a gaybashing, but they cast a man to play her who is barely feminine and doesn't even TRY to correct his deep resonant voice. Calpernia and her dead love both deserve better than this garbage.
he's gross and has a penis. and 5'10 (what most sources claim calpernia is) is tall ... esp if it wants to be a girl (avg height for a girl is 5'4 in the us)
Don't be a retarded jackass. If you're ignorant of transsexuals, fine. If you can't be bothered to educate yourself, fine, but keep your ignorance and hatred TO YOURSELF. No one needs to hear your garbage. PS - LOTS of bio girls are very tall, and you're wrong about the US average by two inches.
Um, no ... the average height in the us IS 5'4. Either way ... these MEN will never be totally accepted. People can barely accept GAYS themselves ... how are going to accept a gay who wants to be a woman?
Wait a minute...So this movie is about a soldier guy in the Army, and there's a gay guy who becomes a woman, and the first soldier guy doesn't know if he likes him or not.
No it is about a straight army guy who falls in love with a male to female trans woman and the army guy gets murdered. It is based on a true story I think.
Wait, so the army guy loves the woman, but it turns out "she" used to be a "he?" Wait, so the guy really DID get a sex change, or did he just dress up as a girl?
She still had male genitals but wanted to get a sex change but it is really expensive and it is a long process and a list of requirements you have to go through.
The army guy loved the woman. Some people like to dress up as the opposite sex while others feel they really are not male or female and get a sex change to become what they feel they are. She felt like a woman and wanted a sex change I imagine she eventually got it.
Oh...I see. To be honest: NOBODY GIVE ME A NEGATIVE VOTE.
I used to find transexual surgery to be gross and disturbing. But now that you've explained it, I understand. Thanks for changing my mind. I don't like being hateful towards people of different lifestyles.
If you think about it why would someone want to choose to be a minority or in a "category" that is full of discrimination, hatred, and violence? I'm not saying YOU think it is a choice, but some people do.
Yeah...I know. There's a movie called "You and I", though it hasn't been played in the U.S. yet. It's about an American girl who moves to Russia and makes a friend there. They're both fans of the Russian duet, t.A.T.u.
The girls end up falling in love, but they run away because of it, perhaps.
It hasn't been played in America yet, since it was made in Russia. I've seen a few trailers in English, so that hopefully means that it'll be released in the U.S., too. (There are other countries that speak mostly English). I really want to see it, and if they don't play it in America, I'll be fucken pissed.
I love TATy, but in 2002 in America they usually lipsynched but in Russia they were live. What's up with that?
I don't hate Russians either.. I just thought the actress did a crappy job.
I watch movies and t.v. online now so even if it isn't released in America but somewhere else it might be online. Since it isn't a popular movie it might not get uploaded though.
After seeing Lee Pace in "The Fall" I knew he would do this true story justice. Saw it for the first time tonight and was blown away.

I had homosexual partners in both military and medical fields, yet they honored their uniforms and institutions not matching their sexual preferences with their or some other's work. If this was true and in spite of all is plainly disgusting. Sorry

I haven't seen this film, but if you've ever seen Calpernia, you would know that she actually has a very feminine voice, not like the character in this film. Either way this definitely looks worth watching.

@goosebumpsgirlgirly4 Just for the movie, but damn did he perform that role well. Watch some of his interviews for the movie, he was almost still in character. However, you'll see a definite difference in how he acts if you compare those to his recent interviews.

When I first heard that Lee Pace was playing a transsexual woman, I was like "Ahhh, no... He does NOT look feminine in any way, he's way to hot as a guy!"
I was obviously proven wrong! He looks quite womanly and pretty in this role...
I have not seen the movie yet, but after seeing this trailer I am curious to see how good the movie is, especially after I saw him in an interview saying that he got a role (I think he was talking about Pushing Daisies) through this movie...

War and combat does things to those in the military. And if one has to go to the darkside/look things past the looking glass, then go be it.
Watching this movie during AIT down in Virginia was hard enough, but purchasing it on my weekend pass and not get caught was another story.

@rea1431 That's so sad. i watched the movie too and i loved it. it's definitely a love story. being gay, transvestite doesn't' make the person a freak. I hate it when people criticize gay and transvestite people. i think that all people are free to do ANYTHING they want as long as they don't hurt other. I am pretty sure that soldier misses you, and he's going to regret not being with you, anymore. good day :)

I just found out a fact (which is probably an old news in US) that the director (frank pierson) apparently is the screenwriter of my (one of) all time favourite movie : DOG DAY AFTERNOON (1975)! Which also follows a story about tranvestite-straight love relationship
Well, anyone find a bit 'unusual'? or just a coincedence? it seems like a parallel storyline (and both films were based on true events for sure as well) Is he a "renowned master" in this field? I wouldn't know
Anyway, good movie!

I'm..... bothered by the casting for Calpernia. I know her. There's nothing remotely masculine about her. Not her face, not her voice. She's not even that bloody tall. And not only did Gay Rights groups co-opt her story for their own purposes, trivializing her womanhood so they could call the murder a gaybashing, but they cast a man to play her who is barely feminine and doesn't even TRY to correct his deep resonant voice. Calpernia and her dead love both deserve better than this garbage.

Don't be a retarded jackass. If you're ignorant of transsexuals, fine. If you can't be bothered to educate yourself, fine, but keep your ignorance and hatred TO YOURSELF. No one needs to hear your garbage. PS - LOTS of bio girls are very tall, and you're wrong about the US average by two inches.

No it is about a straight army guy who falls in love with a male to female trans woman and the army guy gets murdered. It is based on a true story I think.
razorslipped 2 years ago
Wait, so the army guy loves the woman, but it turns out "she" used to be a "he?" Wait, so the guy really DID get a sex change, or did he just dress up as a girl?
3cheers4Ger 2 years ago
She still had male genitals but wanted to get a sex change but it is really expensive and it is a long process and a list of requirements you have to go through.
The army guy loved the woman. Some people like to dress up as the opposite sex while others feel they really are not male or female and get a sex change to become what they feel they are. She felt like a woman and wanted a sex change I imagine she eventually got it.

Yeah...I know. There's a movie called "You and I", though it hasn't been played in the U.S. yet. It's about an American girl who moves to Russia and makes a friend there. They're both fans of the Russian duet, t.A.T.u.
The girls end up falling in love, but they run away because of it, perhaps.

Yeah I heard of that. One of the girls is played by Mischa Barton and she gives an awful accent in my opinion.

It hasn't been played in America yet, since it was made in Russia. I've seen a few trailers in English, so that hopefully means that it'll be released in the U.S., too. (There are other countries that speak mostly English). I really want to see it, and if they don't play it in America, I'll be fucken pissed.
I love TATy, but in 2002 in America they usually lipsynched but in Russia they were live. What's up with that?
