Negative Positive
Title: Really Good.... but left me with sadness that lasted the day!
Review: The movie is about the true love story between Calpernia Addams and Barry Winchell set in 1999. Barry was a soldier who was assigned to the 101st airborne division and he fell in love with Calpernia after watching her perform at a "drag" nightclub and theatre. Eventually a witch-hunt was persued under the DADT laws which was further helped by his back-stabbing roomate Justin Fisher who initiated it. Without giving too many details it results in tragedy for Addams and especially Winchell. The movie helps focus on the influence of the DADT laws in the creation of the tragedy that struck Winchell and its influence in generating a homophobic environment. Winchells parents were involved with pressing for re-examination of the DADT policys within the military and the real Calpernia Addams currently does transgender activism and continues to create television and theatre works.
Is the review positive or negative?
