Beautiful Boxer (2004)

The movie was based on a true story. Since I like movies that are based on documentary events that give feels, I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants to know more about the struggle of identity and the path of obtaining the gender.

I think the acting was good. I saw some of the behind the scenes; I think it was really hard to be a female while having a body of a male even walking is different between genders. For my personal opinion, I kind of wish the main actor was more feminine. I like the ending where I get to see the result of their struggle.

The music was good although I did not pay much attention to the music. I focused more the story because it helps me understand the man vs. social/peers conflicts.

I would give it a go again. It was definitely worth my time because towards the end, I learn values. I saw another perspective that kind of opens up my mind on the subject.

Always Remember Who you want to be

Stumble upon this base on real person true story movie. Really good and enjoyable movie. It is 2004 movie, image not very clear, but the message was clearly delivered. One can learn life lesson and reminder from watching this movie. I have learn Thai Kickboxing and had been to Thailand many times. Knowing that kickboxing is huge in Thailand. You can watch kickboxing ring on the street. Children learned kickboxing at young age. The male lead did a really good job portrait his role. If you are not aware, many family sent their boys to the monastery at the age of 5 to learn Buddhism, I believe for 2 years they stay in the monastery. To me, Thailand has been one step ahead of many modern countries in term of accepting transgender and transvestite person.

I thought this is a very heartwarming movie. The fight was pretty real, good technique etc. People should try to understand how much struggle the transgender /transvestite person is. Lots of internal struggle, society pressure, prejudice, etc.

This movie remind us of many life development, such as at the end she told the young fighter yo fight with his heart. Also, when you are lost, or puzzling, “Always remember who you want to be”. Don’t forget your family. Ask for their blessing.
