Brokeback Movie

Rating: 3/10 (28 February 2006)

What a disappointment! Being a gay man and having worked on a ranch for three years around "REAL" cowboys, the movie is so unrealistic that it is just awful. Ang Lee is a great director but he just doesn't get it at all. A gay director and a couple of "REAL" plain cowboy types could have brought it to life. I'm tired of Hollywood's vanilla hype using the "Hunk de Jour" in roles they don't belong in. Heath Leger is a fine actor and both women (especially Anne Hathaway) do some wonderful acting. I'm sorry but Jake Gyllenhaal is totally miscast and turns in a lousy performance. A lot of technical and continuity errors show how this movie was filmed on the cheap to rake in the profits. To all of you that have seen this move multiple times I can only say "get a life" or go work on a "REAL" ranch.
