Movie Review: Brokeback Mountain (SPOILERS)

[mcvey]

You know, there are no movie reviewers that I have read who are willing to back off their own views enough to be objective.

If this crosses out of freep, which I hope it will, then there will be at least one review out there which will point out how Ang Lee must be chuckling the whole way to the bank.

Of course, Ang Lee may actually believe these crazed stereotypes.

Is he the one that did Hidden Dragon Couching Tiger? That thing was so overrated, I wanted my money back. LOL

[mcvey]

You know, I am not doing a "freep" review here. I am doing a movie review and trying to approach this on more objective grounds than any I have yet seen. Where else could I have posted this besides FR and kept my job?

Couldn't get through the 1st paragraph. No thanks.

[Fireone]

More disgusting hollywood trash.

[Aquinasfan]

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

LOL!

[theFIRMbss]

>I would go see that movie

[Rock N Jones]

For all the cowboys out there riding the range,

this movie is horse xxxx!

[pinz-n-needlez]

Thanks for going through the (lame) story line.

Now if only you could have saved me wasting my money on Tristan and Isolde... lol How much $$$ is it worth to stare at Rufus in a dark theater? ;-)

The gay part of Brokeback Mountain doesn't bother me, but shoving the plot device in my face does, as does the contrived pr campaign based on the premise that if-you-don't-see-this-you're-a-bigot.

My kids (20 somethings) will probably get it through Netflicks, I'll probably wander through. I'm sure I'll wonder what all the hoopla was about.

An actual REVIEW instead of parroting the 'proscribed culture' - how refreshing!


I was betting the movie actually sucked too- here is the liberal media hammering ANOTHER nail into their own coffin as unsuspecting people head to the theater and only THEN find out what the move is about.

Just reading this review made me want to puke. I can actually imagine spewing onto the floor if I saw it.

Interesting to read a "critical" review of the movie. I had no idea it was that bad.

Emphasizes even more how utterly wrong Hollywierd is to take THIS movie so "seriously" when obviously, it's only credit is male homosexuality - and ridicule of ALL other white, male, capitalistic, family-oriented charactoers in the movie!

[brownsfan]

Now THAT's funny... I don't care who you are.

Very good review, and I agree with it. I think that the film is being reviewed more favorably than it deserves, by a liberal Hollywood press that wants to reward it for being "cutting edge", and groundbreaking. I thought the best thing about it by far was Heath Ledger's breakout performance. Had the rest of the film been as nuanced and carefully crafted as his performance was, it would have been a far better film.

Just for kicks I went to see King Kong yesterday. Simply brilliant on every level, for it's genre, and in general. Witty, romantic, smart, sad, terrifying, gorgeous to look at, the best special effects I have ever seen in a movie, edge-of-your-seat for 3-plus hours. Peter Jackson did everything right. THAT'S how you make a movie!

[Fawn]

Is there nudity or any sex between these two in the movie?

[ken5050]

I gather you don't have a vote for the Golden Globes?......(g)

[Fawn]

I miss Jimmy Stewart...one of a kind.

[dead]

Oh man, thanks for that link. I had to stop reading that "Snakes on a Blog" page. I was wheezing and crying at work, trying not to make too much noise.

I don't think you could even make a "Snakes on a Plane" movie without Samuel L. Jackson. If they did, I'd be sitting there in the movie theater wondering where the hell Samuel L. Jackson was when there are snakes on a plane.

Simply brilliant on every level, for it's genre, and in general.

Wasn't it great? I can't believe it's not breaking records. I'd go see it again.

[pissant]

WW II hero, patriot, great actor, icon, nice gnetleman. made the Best Christmas movei of all time. Yep, I miss him too.

[Hildy]

Well, what did Kinnison say?
