Thanks HerrKaiser!
You say this:
To me the mainHollywoodized aspect is that Ennis and Jack went from raunchy, unattractive characters in the SS to the obviously top tier good looking young men audiences line up for.
...
If you read Annie, in the last paragraph, yes after Ennis says I swear, he sees Jack as bucktoothed!!
Did anyone see Jack being bucktoonthed in the movie, done by Hollywood??
Therefore, to show in the movie that Jack's father could have been also a gay man, would have been too Hollywoodish?? Or is it the opposite as an Cinderella story as Lee wanted and/or the two main screenwriters wanted it to be as a Hollywood love story, Romeo and Juliette ??
