What was that all about ?

Rating: 6/10 (13 February 2006)

I've seen the movie and I can't understand what all the agitation was about. A flat love story which wouldn't have caught a second glance if it wasn't about two cowboys. The landscape is beautiful but beyond that there is nothing exceptional. It's like Anna Karenina all over again. It's a cheap attempt to make people feel guilty about their homophobic feelings. I really think that the emperor has no clothes. We know that America is changing, even the last bastion of masculinity and gay-phobia was reduced, love transcends all borders but the movie fails to pass the stereotype test except in the scene at the end with Jack's parents.
