One could argue he’s what we want the American man to be."""

No one couldn't -- unless one is a homo.

[SteveMcKing]

Both characters are married with kids.


"Love".

[russesjunjee]

YYYUUUCCCKKK!

[Intolerant in NJ]

... and he’s taciturn and bottled-up in the way of men...no sterotyping there, for sure......

[Migraine]

He talks with his fists, and sometimes he talks too much

I've heard that homos do that to each other; I can't imagine it...

[RobbyS]

"Love that dare not speak its name?" This is the gay "passion." Remember last year how they shunned Mel Gibson's movie? Now they are in ecstacy because THEIR world view is being celebrated.

[Antoninus]

"Love?" No, it ain't the "love." It's the sodomy.

[A CA Guy]

Since when is two adulterous sheep herders getting into homosexuality an act of love? Seems it was an act of betrayal regarding their vows and marriages on film.

Sick stuff IMO.

[yarddog]

Sexual perversion is now "Love".

[Theresawithanh]

More than a love story...really about loneliness...he's a guy who fights with his fists...I think I'm gonna hurl!

It's about an agenda. That's it.

[MarineBrat]

Gaauugghh!!!  Ick!

"Heath Ledger’s Ennis del Mar feels like the man in the film — in the one sex scene, he gives rather than receives —"

Oh, I get it, because 'he gives rather than receives', this is somehow supposed to cleanse the twisted, filthy, disgusting debauchery he performed on his 'partner'. I've had enough of this Humpback Mountain crap; Hollywood has sunk to the deepest, rottenist pits on earth and they're all too corrupted to realize they're rolling in $#!t.

[BikerTrash]

Since a movie about gay sheepherders coming out of the closet has done so well, I heard they're going to make a movie about gay midgets coming out if the cupboard.

[jazusamo]

"he gives rather than receives"

I've always heard that was the thing to do but now I have a different outlook on it.

[Dallas59]

If the minority sexual group called gays want poo poo on their penis that's fine, let them do whatever they want in the privacy of their own bedrooms but don't call me racist or mentally ill because I don't want to see, hear, or read about it.

[Darkwolf377]

Couldn't get through this syrupy-sweet article--in fact, I can't get more than a paragraph or two into ANY of these stupid mash notes, which all begin like this: My liberal male friends were all averse to this movie (none of these writers have any conservative friends) and they LOVED it, so that makes it a great classic!

In the interests of fairness, though, there is one thing these simps have in their corner--the movie is a real hit. And I find it amusing that while I was almost the sole voice arguing that this thing would be a hit, that it was not the loser some here tried to claim, and that even though those who don't know anything about the movie industry kept shouting "Failure!" and sending notes to my email box...no one around here seems to be talking about its box office "failure" anymore...

Sorry, but if I'm gonna rap the MSM for their biased pro-gay agenda cheerleading, FReepers have to take the hit for their disingenuousness about the FINANCIAL story here.

What will be an interesting comparison though is how the next 'Passion' will be treated by these same pundits. They will either do what they did with Narnia--"Christian content? WHAT Christian content?!"--or go back to the old "anti-semitism" truncheon. That would be like saying BBM is anti-woman and anti-marriage because it seems (I have no intention of actually seeing this snoozefest) to promote screwing around on your wife...which Hollywood seems to think is bad, apparently, unless it's with a guy.

[ex-Texan]

Gene Shalett reviewed this film. He said something like it was 'a story about a sexual predator attacking a cowboy.' Now all of Hollyweird is lining up to praise it. That must be one reason why people are not going to see movies anymore. 'Nuff said.

[Daralundy]

I keep thinking of Taco del Mar.

[hsalaw]

One could argue he’s what we want the American man to be.

No. Actually, hell no. I don't want a homosexual or bisexual adulterer as the "American man."

[rlmorel]

I read the whole review. It really made me angry to read. This flaming POS thinks America is waiting on the edge of its seat to learn all about homosexual "love".
