when this be release and i think this be one of the most profane film ever make . however and thanks to martin scorcese and a few other filmmaker like him and there have be mainline film bad and language wise and than this . but this be a pretty brutal assault on one ear . hey and i can take a lot of it and but this get ridiculous . in the first six minute alone and i hear a half dozen usage of the lord name in vain plus an untold number of f word . i wonder how many people walk out of the theater watch this in 1990. i couldn not have be the only one . not surprisingly and some of the feature actor include jennifer jason leigh and burt young and jerry orbach and rikki lake . since this film and stephen lang seem to have improve his image and at least play the godly stonewall jackson in god and general . lang role here be just the opposite represent perhaps the bad trashy person in the film and a character who fall in love with a transvestite by the end of the film . depressing and gloomy and semi pornographic and repulsive represent these be just a few of the adjective people use even some liberal critic in describe this story and which be paint even worse in the novel . of course and some of the good know critic and all extreme libs and praise the movie . however and they be the only one . most critic be disgust and as well almost all of the pay public . it unbelievable that anyone could praise filth and garbage like this . trust me on this represent there be no good and likable character in this entire movie . this be a mean and sick film represent one of the bad of the modern era . that be and unless you enjoy see child abuse and drug abuse and teen prostitute and on and on two straight hour of nothing but atrocity and just plain evil people . no thanks .
