"I liked it! I LIKED IT"---Piper Laurie

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2005)

What a sad, wonderful, haunting film. Great performances by all, especially Heath. I love that it's bringing our American brand of religious extremists out of the woodwork. "I haven't seen it but I think it deserves 1 star because there are homosexuals in it!" Gawd, you people are so frightfully TIRED! Who left the trailer door open anyway? Some nut-case "Woman for the American family heritage blah blah blah" condemned it because it "condoned the homosexual lifestyle." Like she's seen it. This is a film about love and friendship. It doesn't really go near condoning or accepting anything. Most of those hate-mongering "christians" could use the treatment drunk Jack got from drunk Ennis in the tent (but only if they were really really good!) and would surely react like Piper Laurie, Carrie's mother:" and I liked it! I LIKED IT!" Amen!
