An Excellent TG Movie

[nysprod]

Not a new flick but well worth your time if you haven't seen it...Italian with subtitles, enjoy.

I watched this earlier today, thought I saw it on another site or thread here??

[nysprod]

Yeah, bigtone posted it over in the NY thread.

Fernanda, a 19-year-old Brazilian mtf transgender, travels to Milan and becomes a prostitute to finance a sex-change operation. Fernanda dreams of becoming a "real" woman but in Milan is transformed instead into Princesa, a mysterious figure of allure. She then meets Gianni, a straight-laced, married businessman who falls in love with her. It all seems to good to be true...and is.

Anyone else see it yet? Comments?

What did you think?

Its director must be a chaser. Films like that do not help transsexuals to assimilate at all. At least hookers are shown as human beings, though...

By the way, it is not in Italian but in Brazilian Portuguese.

Acceptance in the bedroom leads to greater acceptance in other facets of life IMO.

I know portraying a TS as an escort is cliche, but she becomes a love interest in the movie too.

[Ts RedVeX]

Acceptance in bedroom not accompanied by acceptance anywhere else with exception of the kerb leads to the cliche you are on about. It also leads to threads like "I'm straight but I need to justify it because I like to suck a cock from time to time" and I aint got the balls to say it to my girlfriend, parents or even "friends"."

Few will understand this film, yet many will see it as justification of their attitude towards transgenders in general as hookers and weirdos to stay away from unless you want to suck a cock and get away with it, or be it, have an exotic romance for a month with no responsibility whatsoever.

The film wasn't meant to be a vehicle for transgender acceptance, but rather on the inability of people to accept who they are.
