Normal (2003)

How far would you go for love? The movie unfolds the life of man going through a sex-change to become a woman. While this may be perceived as abnormal, the man is really just trying to become normal for he had always felt he was a woman trapped in a man's body ever since he was a kid. The story tells of how the wife stood by him...through his gender transition, through church's and workplace' taunts, through family objections....I guess when you love someone, love really surpasses everything. Of course nothing is ideal, the wife have lost the man she loved, but not the husband in him. The essence of the man is still very much there. The character and personality does not change. Excellent performance by Tom Wilkinson and Jessica Lange.
Our society today is still very much conservative to these kind of phenomena. I think most people tend to shy away from transexuals and gays/lesbians, when really, they are only trying to lead their life the way they think it ought to be. Just like we do.

I respect gay/lesbians, especially lesbians. LOL. However, I enjoy teasing them too! :-)
