This is a fake

Rating: 1/10 (2 March 2006)

I really do not understand what's the fuss about. This is a very mediocre boring movie. The only fact that makes it so prominent is that two protagonists are cowboys and they are gays. They cannot do anything with this. They don't do anything with this. They just lead their boring, more then ordinary life ant that's it. But actually I don't need homosexual cowboys to observe all of this. I already have Bill Murray in Broken Flowers and Lost in Translation for this purpose. And definitely his way of doing nothing is much more convincing. And definitely it's not the only example.
Love? Roger Ebert says this could be a story of two women or two people of conflicting religions. Right: this could be a story of anything! And of nothing at the same time. The story needs personality, it's got to be personalized, in other case it's just a piece of wasted time.
PS I would like to add something to this. First, I am not a homophobe, I feel fabsolutely free communicating with people of all kinds. Second, I truly admire previouse Ang Lee's works considering him one of the most amazing directors ever. But talking of this movie I cannot even say it's the worst one. Most of 'the worst' movies are the funniest ones (like Peter Jackson's Bad Taste, etc.) It's just boring and useless. Do we see the most outstanding pictures of nature? Nope. Is this the most touching drama? Nope. Do the actors work at their best? Remember any of Al Pacino's or DeNiro's or amybody else's of that kind role and admit: no.
