Saw it twice ... it went from 'bad' to 'worse'

Rating: 2/10 (16 March 2016)

I recently had to sit through this movie a second time, because my mom, my uncle and my aunt wanted to see it, and they didn't listen to my warning from my first viewing. Anyway, I thought it was a terrible movie, and it didn't get any better the second time around. In fact, it was even more annoying.
He was selfish. Bottom line, no two ways about it. Once he started pursuing his wish/desire to become a woman, he neglected and abandoned his wife, and his job. At that point, a person is not a man, regardless of gender.
However, she (the wife) displayed a remarkable amount of love, patience and devotion to her husband. She bent over backwards for him, and did everything he asked. Even the final act, which ultimately killed him.
During the first viewing, there were several times that I forgot this was a period piece, but would be reminded by something in the background. To me, there is no story behind people dying from archaic medical procedures ... ESPECIALLY if they were advised against it by doctors. If Doc says no, and you do it anyway, it is not considered a "tragic" death, by any stretch of the imagination.
Ultimately, it seems that this movie was just trying to cash in on the Bruce Jenner situation. It didn't tell me a story that I felt needed telling, for any reason. It was not an entertaining movie, and it didn't educate me to anything I found relevant. I truly hope that I never have to sit through a single scene of this horrible film again. To summarize, I felt that he selfishly abandoned his responsibilities to pursue something that he wanted, and it ultimately cost him his life.
