How does he derive it being 'neo-Marxist'?

I second Jon Dougherty's comment at Worldnetdaily when he said thusly:
It's being touted by "critics" as a "broader story of tragic love," a "remarkable" and "heartbreaking" film, a "cinematic triumph" that is "compelling" and "atmospheric" in its "universal substance," a story that is told with "taste and intelligence."
Whatever. The fact is the only reason Hollywood and its cheerleaders are ga-ga over this film is because it's a "love story" about two homosexual men. No matter what else you read or hear about it, that's the bottom line on the film's storyline, pure and simple.
But look, it doesn't take a crystal ball to know "Brokeback" is little more than an effort by Hollywood culture thieves to celebrate and mainstream a lifestyle (homosexuality) with which most Americans disagree, while flipping the bird to the distinctly heterosexual American West, where men were men, women were women, and neither slept with members of the same gender.
And granted, so far the film has done pretty well in terms of box office (about $550,000 as of this writing). But considering where it has opened thus far New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco that's expected (what "gay" film would not do well in San Fran and NYC?).
As to how it's going to do everywhere else is predictable. The Hollywood elite and the purveyors of multiculturalism none of whom have much knowledge of, or respect for, Mr. and Mrs. America will talk of the film's "success" and "impact" at their exclusive parties and social functions. But you can bet your rawhide boots and 10-gallon punchbowl "Brokeback" isn't likely to break the bank.
That's because no matter how many cultural icons Hollywood tries to skewer, Main Street isn't ready to accept cowboys who are, er, a little light in the saddle because, well, that just isn't Main Street. In fact, the more Hollywood tries to dismiss and eradicate traditional America, the more America clings to it.
If you doubt that, consider last year's genuine bank-breaking blockbuster, Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ." Hollywood hated the film (actually, they hated the film's premise that there is a "God" and it's not Steven Spielberg). The major distribution companies wouldn't touch it. The glitterati press panned it. Special-interest groups decried it. Jewish organizations thought it comparable to the Holocaust (a comparison that was completely off the charts).
If you want more proof there is an agenda behind "Brokeback," consider that the advance praise for this film has only been matched by the advance criticism of "Passion." As much as Tinseltown loves "gay" cowboys, they hated Jesus.
With its underlying message that homosexuality is so normal even strapping young cowboys in Wyoming can have a hankerin' for each other, this movie is going to be as popular with most Americans as a hog farm in the summer, despite the best efforts of Hollywood to present it as the greatest performance ever committed to celluloid.
But don't take my word for it. Go ask the first cowboy you see how many boyfriends he has, then make up your mind ... if you're still standing.

"It's also politically correct."
The key to institutional recognition in Hollywood but not necessarily box office success. This will be one of those critically acclaimed (pardon the pun) 'sleepers'. As for me, I'll stick with Pike Bishop and Dutch Engstrom.

I hope hollywood goes out of business. Would anyone out there take your children to see this crap?
Hopefully they see how it is to lose money and their investors get tired of it and stop financing them.

It's rated R so I would imagine it's not intended for children.

I assume anyone walking around dressed up in cowboy gear has homosexual leanings.
To: SirLinksalot
Just when I thought Hollywood couldn't stoop any lower they go out and prove me wrong. Is the next step for Jollywood about a couple gay professional hockey or football players?

Where are you, Harry Carey Sr. and Jr., Ben Johnson, John Wayne, Gene Autry, Clayton Moore & Jay Silverheels, Ward Bond, Ken Curtis, Lorne Greene, Dan Blocker, Tom Mix, Michael Landon, and all the other great cowboy actors?
Only James Arness, Tom Selleck, Sam Elliot, Clint Eastwood and a few others left.

They're going one further than this. It has been nominated for 7 Golden Globe Awards including Best Actor, Best Director ( Ang Lee ) and Best Picture.
And if I were to put my money on it, the Globe judges WILL let it win the best picture ensuring that it garners the maximum publicity WORLD WIDE !
Thats how much influence the Film industry have to push their moral agenda.

True great cowboy actors
Politics aside add Costner and Duvall for Open Range. Jones in Lonesome Dove ( Duvall too ).
Man, what a paradox the same guy wrote Lonesome Dove and Buttrider Mounting.
