Re: Conflict - How important it really is?
yes, in addition to being reactionary historical b.s. it was also misogynistic historical b.s. -- Jenny the "slut" gets AIDS because she dared to have more than one sexual partner during the '70s and did drugs (which millions of men also did but none of whom seem to suffer the same fate in the film). also, heterosexual AIDS outside of the IV drug using community was and continues to be extremely rare. but sure, Jenny didn't choose to love a mentally deficient man so ergo she deserves to die
(which she did not at all in the actually very good and funny book. she just goes off and marries someone else and lives a normal middle class existence http://articles.baltimoresun.com/199...book-and-movie)
