The movie's great. It's a drama about an aspect of the human experience which is, like it or not, real. Everybody walking out of the theater when I saw it was crying or stunned--old people, young people, straight couples, gay couples. It's about loss and regret and the choices we make which spread ripples of unhappiness through our lives and the lives of people raound us. Has anybody else who has posted on this thread seen it? It's a masterpiece which is going to be seen and talked about, which is going to move people to tears for many many years after we are all gone. I think that I can be a conservative and support small government, a strong defense policy and the power of the free market without losing the ability to be moved by a work of art like Brokeback Mountain. It's also, by the way, going to be a huge hit, way beyond the gay audience. It has already posted the highest per-screen averages of any movie ever, including in places like Plano, Texas. In terms of profitablility--it cost 13 million to make--it will be more successful than King Kong, which cost 207 million. Okay, now you can all shoot me.

Welcome to the sleeper homosexual troll club. You can't say anything positive about this movie or any other homosexual issue without the zealots circulating. Even when you report observations that are factual, you'll be wrong.

Merry Christmas

Is that why it is already burning out?

Naaah, at least your opinion is based on having seen it. The rest of us just want to criticize because of the theme.

So, Paul Pecoriano...


Is it really of love story, or...

NAMBLA members make the same claims. Try changing the age of one of the "actors" to a 10 year old boy and the same male actor. Hollywood could manipulate your emotions similarly, but that doesn't make it right. Hollywood is not reality nor is homosexual behavior anything but perversion and a huge public health issue costing lives and wasted billions. It is indeed a masterful product of a very sick mind.

Ang Lee is a remarkable filmmaker, and any movie by him would be well made, regardless of the theme or content. Personally I think both sides of the argument have overplayed themselves--it's not going to be the end to traditional values and it is not the great white hope for the homosexual agenda. It is just a well made movie.

I intend to see it for all the reasons you state. I just hear it's a good movie. I'm not pro or anti gay. I must confess I am not looking forward to the tent scene or the kiss -- a big "ick" factor for me -- but I believe the acting is amazing, and it's beautifully filmed.
