| 9. "Soldier's Girl"...left me in tears and... |
|
Edited on Sun Aug-08-04 05:31 PM by RodneyCK2
very, very well acted. I think it was originally a Showtime movie, but it is now on DVD. Plus, it is a true story which made it even more touching.
 Synopsis.. This powerful drama tells the true story of a young soldier, Pfc. Barry Winchell (Troy Garity), who meets and falls for a beautiful transgendered performer (Lee Pace) while on a drunken outing with fellow soldiers. But the relationship is frowned upon by the other soldiers and eventually leads to Barry's brutal death at the hands of his homophobic roommate. Garity and Pace were both nominated for Independent Spirit Awards for their performances. |
