im going to be real, the last and only time i watched the film it was like 2 and a half years ago when me and some friends were staying at some place together and we all got incredibly drunk and just threw on a load of sigma grindset style films in the background while we drank together and drew dicks on the people who'd fallen asleep until none of us were still conscious. so idk the plot points really except that there were some explosions, a sex scene, somebody got shot and they spent a lot of time punching each other
The narrator confronts his masculinity by imagining himself as a hot goth woman that is everything he fails to be. Then he thinks of roughly the same thing in male form. Then they have sex, blow up a couple banks, etc. So it definitely already has trans overtones.
The book sells the intended message a lot better. It's much more disturbing and grotesque. Casting three of the most beautiful people alive at the time really undercut the message. Like, who wouldn't want to be Brad Pitt?
Was the point not that it literally would've?
