Paper Summary:

This paper examines the similarities in the films"Boys Don't Cry" and "TransAmerica". The paper explains that both films feature working class people, and the challenges of trailer park life--including the sexual stresses placed on vulnerable young people living in an environment where the walls, if they even exist, are thin. The paper also points out that both films are also both road movies, though this is more obvious with "TransAmerica" than with "Boys Don't Cry." Finally, the paper points out, what is most obvious about both films, that they are both films about transsexuals.
