I have two questions could they have told the story without the sex part? I am sick to death of any movie always thinking that people want to see them naked or moaning and groaning during sex. Now that we are talking about gay sex, I do not want to ever see gay sex in a movie now or ever. And that is exactly what they are looking to gain for their agenda. If we can just get comfortable about seeing two men having sex we can look forward to more of it. Anything that comes out of hollywood is not about love not a true love story, not any more. They have taken upon themselves to sexualize everything they touch. Even the lives they lead. And for that matter let them try and make a movie where a gay guy has come to terms with his lifestyle and changed through the love he found with Christ. It has happened but you will never see it and I can promise you anyone trying it would receive death threats. Real love is not in a movie real love was on the cross. My son has a good friend who is gay and I can see how difficult it is for him when he hears anything that is not postive in accepting the life style. But I can bet he would not have the desire to go see this movie brokeback mountain.
Those are definitely good points that make sense. The overt sexuality in large parts of Hollywood is crazy. This is where my disagreement in opinion comes in, though -- I can stand some the level of sexuality in these movies, depending on the overall value of them.
I know you and I then must have different views on what's gratuitous and what's not, but that's something we probably can't reconcile. I suppose I'm less conservative in that realm. It doesn't mean I want sex thrown into everything I see or do, but in this case I think the story of this movie has value.
