The Human Condition

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2006)

This film is of historic importance in that it convincingly portrays an aspect of the human condition global society has ignored at best and violently punished at worst. Romantic love between two men is love between two people and it is valid and worthy of respect. Brokeback Mountain drives this point home (among many other valuable lessons) as a beautiful and poignant narrative. We as intelligent people should be grateful such a movie has been produced, is receiving acclaim and is actually being viewed by diverse people across the country. Far from being urban art-house fare, Brokeback Mountain is reaching beyond any preconceived niche!
