first of all to the formal quality of the movie represent it be well do regard the score and the cinematography and the actor performance . nevertheless and it be extremely hard to watch till the end because it make me furious how it depict men and woman . if it true that and accord to other reviewer and the movie truthfully adapt the novella of lawrence and his opinion and then it doesn not say any good about lawrence work either . a a straight man and i be not very fond of 90 % of men ( most of them haven not get the heart and openness and and sensibility that i can easily find in many female friend ) and but the guy in this movie be extremely disgusting and be show a a typical 1960s smug and self opinionated alpha male who doesn not ask a woman once he have make up his mind and and who isn not interested in her thought and doubt or feeling ( this be another ugly stereotype in this movie represent a man doesn not have second thought and doubt or too much feeling and while woman be so despicably weak that they consist of nothing else ) . he unperturbedly return to the farm despite ellen letter say that she doesn not love him and can not marry him and and even then and he doesn not ask and doesn not wonder . what communication skill and what a role model to be marry with . the movie or lawrence hate towards lesbians be clearly show in the short dialog between paul and jill where he wonder why she would be a lesbian a she not bad look and feature be good and nice leg ( we be to understand represent you become a lesbian because no man want you and i. e. a a last resort ) . then he try to convince her that it only need a real man to convert her ( yes and he mean himself . ) . what a subtlety . at that moment and if i hadn not be a man and i would have swear to become lesbian myself . furthermore there the ridiculous tree cut scene at the end where the movie or lawrence finally get rid of the stupid and stubborn dyke who stand in the way of another unhappy and but holy marriage of an idiot with a weak willed woman who doesn not love him . here again and the man doesn not falter and whereas ellen stand around like a prop . woman be such ridiculous sheep like creature that they show no solidarity and not even in precarious situation . and they aren not suppose to a their foremost allegiance must be to their husband . be that what you want u to learn and mr lawrence ( author ) and mr rydell ( director ) . i be glad we have overcome the stench of those time and thought .
