Verdict

⚠️ SMUGGLING ALERT: Strong ideological load that normalizes gender dysphoria and homosexuality.

In-depth analysis

The film presents a distorted view of sexual and gender identity, promoting gender ideology and normalizing homosexuality and transsexuality. The plot romanticizes the relationship between Brandon Teena, a woman who identifies as a man, and Lana Tisdel, a young heterosexual woman. The film also contains scenes of sexual violence and inappropriate language. The work presents a relativistic view of morality, where individual decisions are justified by personal feelings and desires, without regard for natural law or the consequences for others. The film promotes a view of freedom as the absence of limits, rather than as the capacity to choose the good.
