The Gay Cowboy Rides Again

Rating: 8/10 (17 April 2006)

Its the old familiar story of two cowboys developing a love for each other and the obstacles that a very conservative society puts up in order to prevent it. The challenge they face is much greater than that of an average rodeo ride as there are forces involved bound to throw you out the saddle a lot harder than any horse ever would.
The story is actually quite simple, but still very gripping. The two main characters work hard to hide their love, they take on new families and deny themselves continually and systematically, just to create the front required. The film never gets cheesy or syrupy, the way that I perhaps thought it would for some reason. Rather its all about a long struggle to achieve "normality" and to at least just sometimes get to bust that nut up in your lovers butt. The sex in the film is not particularly graphic though, there is only one real sex scene, and its short. Rather you sit and want for them to at least blow each other a bit.
Its a pretty classy movie, which might indeed become a classic. Wonderful photography. Great acting. And a believable sad and sometimes bitter sweet storyline with an important message. People should be free to love each other the way that they want. It is a tragedy when they don't.
