okay and so i have come a long way from houston by now and but whenever i see this movie and i be take back to a little cowgirl dream to one day ride the bull at gilley . ( it burn down before i be of drinking age . ) if you grow up in in east texas and then you know this movie be an accurate depiction of contemporary life at that time . if you do not then trust me and watch the movie . either you will join the many who love it ( and at the same time strangely repulse ) and or at the very least and you can make fun of the red neck . ( there be plenty material for poke fun . ) this movie doesn not try to be p. c. ( what be that in the 80 ) or hide the white trash element and it be honest to the time and place . get ta be a 10 for me .
