The Crying Game
The Crying Game (1992), now more than 30 years old, continues to wield the power to shock and surprise. Its famous plot twist elicits diverse reactions, with some critics viewing the film as transphobic. However, director Neil Jordan vehemently disagrees, distinguishing his work from portrayals in other films. In contrast to characters wielding scalpels, The Crying Game presents a trans character that captivates and resonates with audiences, challenging stereotypes and leaving a lasting impact.
