beautiful story

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2006)

I thought it was a simple and beautiful yet tragic story and am pleased with the success its had. It was so moving and especially in our society it takes a lot to have a gay love story to be seen as just a love story. :-) I don't understand what all the conservative huff was about, everything was really tastefully done and nothing ever stooped to being vulgar, there are so many other movies where the sexuality is just gratuitous and yet no one bats an eye. I was disappointed it didn't win the Oscar for best movie but America does tend to be conservative so it wasn't to surprising. I suppose they'll be lots of poorly made spinoffs of it to capitalize on its success, but they can't be controlled.
