Entertaining but not as good as the original

I love that they recreated a classic but updated it. Kevin Hart and Dwight Johnson are hysterical in it! Jack Black is beyond awful. He is supposed to be a teenage girl, but he behaves as if he is flamboyant and mocking of a homosexual. It's embarrassing to watch his scenes and horrible acting in this particular movie.

"I beg people to read this book. He tells you about a sensibility that has ceased to exist. In this book you see what the status markers were within the homosexual community in this era. And the status markers were how much you knew, how smart you were, how cultivated you were. It had nothing to do with money – that’s not what status was about. There used to be competing values in this culture."

Unusual, descriptive, horrors of war

While I feel a lot of the descriptions about the genocide of Native Americans was grotesque, Barry's other descriptions was rich and beautiful especially describing the relationship between John and Thomas. It is a love story within the context of war. It is uncommon because it describes a homosexual relationship in a very natural way and also talks about the protagonist's desire to be a woman in terms of the historic backdrop.
