"Brokeback Mountain," the story of two homosexual cowboys starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, topped 19 competitors, including George Clooney's "Good Night, and Good Luck" to win the Venice Film Festival's top award yesterday.
The film has been called "groundbreaking" by homosexual activists for the amount of "gay" sex that is shown on screen.
Mel Gibson fans will remember Heath Ledger as the eldest son in "The Patriot" determined to fight for independence against the British, the innocent but brave fair-haired boy-man who struggles for justice even among his fellow southern colonialists.
Gyllenhaal is best known for his role as Dennis Quaid's son in "The Day After Tomorrow," last year's science-fiction film that portrayed how climate could flood New York City and put the Northern Hemisphere into a new Ice Age.
Gyllenhaal told Gay.com that filming the homosexual scenes were difficult, but for physical rather than emotional reasons, almost leading to a fractured nose.
"[Ledger] grabs me and he slams me up against the wall and kisses me, and then I grab him and I slam him up against the wall and I kiss him," he said recently, adding the love scenes were the most violent he'd ever done.
"We were doing take after take after take. I got the sh-- beat out of me. ... We had other scenes where we fought each other and I wasn't hurting as badly as I did after that one."
While Ledger admitted his nervousness about portraying a homosexual, Gyllenhaal said understood the universal aspects of the relationship, despite reaction from his friends.
"They're all like, 'Dude, you're gonna kiss a guy.' But it's not about that for me. It's about how impossible love can be sometimes, and I can relate to that."
"As well as that, every man goes through a period of thinking they're attracted to another guy," Gyllenhaal added.
While "Brokeback Mountain" received the Golden Lion award in Venice, George Clooney did not go home empty-handed.
"Good Night, and Good Luck" won best screenplay, and its star, David Strathairn, garned best actor for his portrayal of journalist Edward R. Murrow.
Murrow used television in the 1950s to highlight alleged bullying tactics of Sen. Joseph McCarthy in his anti-Communist crusade.
"This film is a tribute to the reporters who are in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in Africa, in our poor city of New Orleans, to bring us the truth," Clooney said.
NO THEY DON'T!
The Venice Ultra-Far-Left Propaganda featured faggot cowboys and criticism of Joseph McCarthy's crusade to rid America of communism.
CARTMAN: …independent films are those black and white hippie movies. They’re always about gay cowboys eating pudding.
WENDY: No they’re not. Independent films are produced outside the hollywood system. They’re movies without all the glitch and glamour of Hollywood.
CARTMAN: Well, you show one independent film that isn’t about gay cowboys eating pudding.
"No dude, independent films are those black and white hippie movies. They're always about gay cowboys eating pudding."
I'll be sure to miss it.
It's still porn. Hardly groundbreaking.
eeeewwwwwwwwwwwww
Does the movie star "Hop-along Ben Gay"?
I won't grab it, but that should be someone's tag line.
"As well as that, every man goes through a period of thinking they're attracted to another guy," Gyllenhaal added.
NO THEY DON'T!
I never did.
This really sucks. I liked "The Patriot", "The Order" and "Knights Tale" with Ledger..
He was also great in the Four Feathers.
More sodomite propaganda.
It seems that the "gay" thing is a big hit with the artsy-fartsy movie crowd. Most were heard leaving the theater saying, "Most of my best friends are gay."
I'll bet you can count the number of queer cowboys in America on one hand : )
Homosexual Agenda Ping.
Note this:
"As well as that, every man goes through a period of thinking they're attracted to another guy," Gyllenhaal added.
Look in the mirror, dude.
I hope that absolutely no one ever goes to see this movie aka as a steaming pile complete with buzzing flies. I also canNOT imagine acting in a movie or play a "gay" love scene. No normal person could even act that out. No way. But then, how many actors are normal people? Precious few.
Freepmail me AND DirtyHarryY2K if you want on/off this pinglist.
"I got the sh-- beat out of me"
Uhhh...
I swear that I thought it was a Saturday Night Live Spoof when I realized that the two manly cowboys were gay.
Who the hell would want to see this trash?
I predict a major flop -- Duh! (except in San Francisco and West Hollywood).
I also predict a resurgence of cowboy attire in the fashion industry!
Now that's a keeper.
