please note that i haven not see the film since i discover it in 2007 and and my town be small and doesn not carry it . however and i really want to say something about it . i be actually do research for university on the title character richard maurice bucke and would like to point out that the person they base the main character on be in reality completely different . hollywood idea of people and artistic license grant and the real dr. bucke totally endorsed hysterectomy to cure insanity in woman and and would never have practice anything as liberal a represent in the film . i think it laughable to see various film critic who write for legitimate newspaper who say this film have some historical basis . the only actual fact i can see be the friendship between dr. bucke and walt whitman . please do not waste your time on a film with such a disregard to the horror that real woman experience at the hand of this doctor who have now be glorify by the film industry .
