I find it sad and wasteful.....
....McMurtry wrote well, initially......
....he wrote westerns....

I think the seduction of Hollywood possessed him to mess it up with the gay movie....and this is highlighted in his obituary

Also noticed it didn’t do a lot forGyllenhaal’s career, imo......( he was so good in the earlier October Sky.)......but after this BM I considered him gay and lost interest

Ledger killed himself
Maybe both gay

And it was a long time before I would watch Hathaway in any thing...
It felt like that movie took her innocence after doing Princess Bride
I know I’m distilling it down rather naively
I didn’t see BM......but I watched the lives of those who played in it

There is a gay casting couch in Hollyweird. Even if the actors are not gay they made have to do some sexual things with men to advance their careers.

Been that way for over 60 years

Gyllenhaal is a good actor. He should have won an Academy Award for “Nightcrawler.”

McMurtry didn’t write “Brokeback Mountain.” Annie Proulx did. (I never read it.)

McMurtry did write the screenplay. (I never saw it, but from all accounts I read and from a couple of friends who saw it, it was essentially forgettable.)
