So, I finally watched Brokeback Mountain...

"It could always be like this."
There it is, finally said out loud in this beautiful story of ill fated love.
Watching it play out you know it won't be, yet I found myself rooting for them to make it work. Resolve the complicated side stories of all the relationships and ride up country. It's the crux and the real catch of the movie, I think. You know it won't be.
The story's resolution - and there is a resolution - is bittersweet.
The whole look of the film was beautiful, the sets, the scenery and the pacing. I loved the characters - each clearly individual yet part of the whole story.
It seems as Ang Lee intended - a classic love story, set in the West, among two men. I thought he hit it right on the head, as did the cast.
And, anyone who has lost someone relates to the final scenes of Ennis with Jack's shirt and jacket. That rang true as well.
It broke my heart.

At the same time I was so happy to be there. I think it actually touched people who might not have been touched but out of curiosity saw it. There was not a single sound in the theater during the movie.
As you said, it was beautifully done.
It was a piece of shit. Glorification of the romantic relationship between two men without regard to the harm the relationship did to their wives and children.

Don't mind the gays, hate the gay agenda.
-
Like all things on the gay agenda, it's an attempt to normalize sick deviant behavior.
I ain't buying it. :bird:

Yes, it was....a movie that totally devestated 2 other people's lives...and I can't remember if they had children involved or not.
The DUmmies giving 2 selfish home wreckers adoration is all about DUmmies trying to show how tolerant they are to homosexuality.
In DUmmieLogic (I know that is an oxymoron), these two men just *had* to get married in order to hide what they were.
Give it up for DUmmie Love.

Ever see a queer dying in the advanced stages of AIDS?
With their brains liquefied and running out of their ears while lying in a pool of their own feces because they can no longer control their bodily functions?
Yea, real beautiful...even with a mountain backdrop.

Thank you. You've just made the most disgusting and bigoted post of the day. Congratulations.

Perhaps it was a harsh statement although I will agree with the message delivered.
The gay community demands a cure for AIDS and other related diseases but do nothing to cease and desist from the self-destructive sexual behavior that causes these diseases.
And yes I have very little sympathy for people who smoke, drink, or eat to the detriment of their own health.

While termed in the harshest manner, his post is true. AIDS is a horrible way to die. And it's a disease that strikes the homosexual population. While heterosexuals obviously suffer from HIV/AIDS, it a fact that it's rampant in the gay community. No to mention the entire subculture that purposely tries to contract/spread HIV. It's really disgusting.
I think you can be disgusted by what the movie advocates (homosexual relations that may lead to HIV - I didn't see any mention of safer sex in the movie - yes, I watched it) and not be "bigoted".

I've never watched "Humpback Mountain".
Cowboys kissing their horses and ridding off into the sunset is about as pervert as I want my cowboys to be.

I've never seen it either. Just not on my list of movies to watch.

"I don't know how to quit your ears"
Logic clearly Dicktates that the needs of the manly outweigh the needs of the few...

I haven't seen it and I don't know anyone who has. It wasn't a widely watched film.
It's place in pop culture is 100000 times bigger than the movie itself.

That's exactly what I thought. While these two were gay, I'd have the same level of disgust if they were straight. It doesn't matter the sentimental spin put on it...both knew they were gay BEFORE they married. Oh, I know the message...uptight society and all that. But, if these two were really as honorable and brave as the movie tried to make them, they would've had the integrity (and RESPECT for the woman and each other) to stay single or try to make it work with each other. But when you look at all the divorces and "alternative" living situations at the DUmp, I know why the don't get it. Besides, who cares if those children are scarred for life...they have a pill for that don't they? Typical selfishness candy-coated with sappy music and beautiful scenery.
You know, this wasn't even the middle ages where marriages were arranged to create alliances and for political expediency. Of course they lived their fantasies through Courtly Love...knights and ladies...look but don't touch. When they did give in, Lancelot and Guinevere brought down an entire kingdom and all that it stood for...pretty harsh punishment...there's a moral in there somewhere. I guess we have evolved because these two only destroyed the lives of their families. Evidently, doing things "for the children" only matters when we're talking about more taxes for schools or free health care (SOMEONE has to pay for those anti-depressants). God forbid "for the children" should mean parents putting their children's needs above their own (which should also mean loving their mother).
My husband traveled the rodeo circuit in his younger days (yes girls, dreams DO come true...I married a cowboy) and I don't think I could repeat what he said about this (and he didn't even watch it...won't allow it on his television). We have so few heroes left, it's kind of sad because cowboys are SO American...foreign leaders, grown men, want to visit President Bush's ranch just so they can play "cowboy" for the day. No cowboy I know would EVER play the victim! They couldn't be brave, gay, and SINGLE? I know a few old cowboys who've never been married and while they're not gay they can entertain an 8 year old with stories that hold their attention better even than Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Oh well, another American institution down the drain. What next...gay soldiers? The G.I. and the Jihadi...love across the divide as deep as the sands of the dessert. They could send their wives "Dear Jane" and "Dear Fatima" letters and go into the designer burqa business after the war. However, considering they hold beauty contests for camels over there, if I were the G.I., I think I'd make sure Fatima didn't walk on all fours and subsist on hay. I'm sure there's something about this whole thing I'm just not getting. But then, I'm one of those "uptight" Republicans who believes in personal responsibility. I could care less what two people do together as long as they don't KNOWINGLY hurt others in the process. Being closed-minded is such a curse.

No problem, glad to help. It's what I do - relate that which I have witnessed.
AIDS is 100% preventable and if the homos die a miserable death because of their own CHOSEN actions, far be it from me to feel pity for them.
Thank you. You've just made the most disgusting and bigoted post of the day. Congratulations.
