Movie Review: Brokeback Mountain (SPOILERS)

[garyhope]

Do we really need or want to read or comment on this "film" yet one more time.

I think it's pretty clear what Freepers think of this piece of propaganda.

[Semper Paratus]

Spoiler alert. Damm, ruined it for me now.
(/lame joke off)

[Vaquero]

Not cowboys but rather Shepherds eating pudding.

[peyton randolph]

two bisexual men to make the plot seem remarkable.

The late Reverend Sam Kinison had some choice comments on the concept of bisexual men.

I'll stick to Clint and Duke movies, but thanks for taking one for the team.

[silverleaf]

The star-crossed love affair, in what is a bad paraphrase of “Romeo and Juliet,” ends with one partner dead and the other living a half-dead life in a beat-up trailer in the middle of nowhere.

Ah, in a kinder gentler more tolerant world they would both end up living together in a beat-up trailer in the middle of nowhere. Or working as pool boys and housesitters for a Hollywood director.

[atomicpossum]

Pretty typical. It's the politics that is driving any support for this movie, not the movie itself.

Philadeplphia is a pretty predictable, manipulative movie as well, and even some gay writers have trashed Tom Hanks' 'poor little puppy dog' Aids-infected homosexual character, but he still won the Oscar-- it's not about quality, sometimes it's about a crusade.

Ah, in a kinder gentler more tolerant world they would both end up living together in a beat-up trailer in the middle of nowhere. Or working as pool boys and housesitters for a Hollywood director.

Or hosting a show on Air America...but then again, guess that's already been done.

[Pukin Dog]

Thank you for the review. A movie that I can avoid.

I saw Crash, and thought it was a GREAT movie.

[oyez]

If it ain't Clint and Duke it ain't acting.

[dead]

Thanks for the review. Panegyrical professional reviewers are not allowed to look beyond the film's message to it's merits as a film.

Sounds like a Lifetime Channel effort.

[mcvey]

In a kinder more gentler world I would not have seen this movie.

McVey

[pissant]

I'd toss in Jimmy Stewart and a few others as well. ;o)

[dead]

I would go see that movie.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Hollywood should do some research as to what kind of movies make money.

It's usually the kind of movies people want to see.

Ang Lee ruined the Hulk......

This guy is without a doubt the most over-rated director in recent movie history.

On the other hand......

Director Ron Howard has successfully tapped into what America wants.

A BEAUTIFUL MIND.....
CINDERELLA MAN
APOLLO 13
BACKDRAFT
PARENTHOOD
COCOON
SPLASH....

just a few of my favorite movies diected by Howard.

Traditional values and rich character development.

[silverleaf]

LOL!

But when did their wives figure it out?
