I don't think Lawrence was this much of a raging a-hole
I don't get the impression that DH Lawrence acted anything like this in reality. He may have been "passionate" and easily frustrated by society, prone to outbursts on occasion, but this portrayal feels shallow and just makes him seem completely irrational and nasty, on a constant basis. I don't think it does the complexity of the man justice. Were Bert and Frieda really just plain jerks? I sense DH was too much sensitive to be set on the constant obnoxious rage-mode I see in this film.
