Big surprise? Wasn't that big.

Some people picked up right away what Dil's situation was....I was not one of them. When I first saw this movie during it's original release, I was just drop-jawed when that scene happened. I had been successfully tricked!

Upon subsequent viewings, I wonder.....how is it that I didn't catch that? But, like any good magician's trick, it's all about creating plausible diversions.


 The bad news is you have houseguests. There is no good news. 

The surprise or....?

It played at a repertory house here, and I remember everybody in the theater gasped when Dil dropped her robe. I even thought for an instant that they'd made a fake penis for her, then I realized it was real. Shock.

I still think of Jaye Davidson as a woman, the actor was so convincing.

I remember seeing this in the movie and figured it out too but I still enjoyed this movie
just watched it again last night
