跨性別電影

  讀完小如的《"The Adventures of Priscilla..", Drag Queen, CD and etc》,一直沒考究,閱後方知道原來 DRAG 這個字所代表的意思!小如列出「幾部」以 transgender 為題材的電影,有些我未觀賞過,但看來有漏網之魚哦,令我不斷在想我曾經欣賞過甚麼呢。我也來列出一些我看過的,而又以跨性別、變男變女、性別錯亂為題材的電影:

  《性工作者十日談》縱使是其中一段故事,仍是香港少有正經地提及扮裝者的電影,連帶有點喜歡扮裝得可愛的李逸朗,呵呵呵!《Shes The Man》女扮男裝娛樂性豐富。《Transamerica》寫實得有點心酸。《White Chicks》警察男扮女裝查案十分惹笑。《Tiresia》「女」主角因沒有注射激素而由女性漸漸變回男性頗意想不到。《All About My Mother》最不想看到兒子遇上父親那一幕。《Boys Don't Cry》真人真事的悲劇,看後心情沉重。《To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar》,對不起,感覺上這套是抄襲的。《Switch》到最後才驚覺甚麼是無條件的愛。其他沒提及的,只是不太觸動心靈,或沒那麼有共鳴。

  數完才知道,原來我也會看此類題材的電影,要數自己欣賞而又印象深刻的,又不是太多特別喜歡哦,最喜歡的應該是小如所提及的駕駛大巴那一齣。而你喜歡哪電影呢?
