You Are All That I Have

         Our classmate Chris did a powerpoint presentation on a short film called "Tracks," and in his presentation he mentioned that a lot of people in the gay community only have each other or their significant other. That's because in this homophobic-hetero-dominated society, people in the LGBTQ community are being shunned by their families and often are kicked out of their home. So at the end of the day, if they find somebody who loves them for who they are, they'll go above and beyond to never lose them. This is what led Christine and Lea to kill their employer in the film "Sister My Sister."
        There was a moment in the movie where Christine tells Lea "You're all that I have!" Lea being, both, Christine's lover and sister.  So this, in a way, falls under the concept of an LGBTQ member trying not to lose the only person who loves her because if Christine doesn't have Lea then she doesn't   have anyone in her life. Christine's mom didn't love her or treated her as well as she did to Lea, so Christine had to learn how to learn how to live with just loving herself.  So when Lea moved in with Christine in her employers house, Christine was going to do everything in her power to not lose her sister, so when their relationship was threatened by their employer, the sisters killed their boss and their boss's daughter.
