don't judge before hand

Rating: 10/10 (31 July 2006)

I read the short story by Annie Proulx many times before I even knew they were making a movie. But when i found out they were I was extremely excited! I told everyone I knew about it and they said it was disgusting and wrong, especially some of my strong Christian friends. I never let them influence me differently. I stayed a huge supporter of the movie and when I saw it I was blown away. I never thought it could be like that. It is the most incredible, raw, passionate, and heartbreaking story that has ever graced the theaters. When people began labeling it as the 'gay cowboy movie' I became extremely upset! How could people judge it before they had ever even seen it, or even knew what it's about! I defended it until one friend gave in and went out and saw it. When they came back, they cried because they admitted they were wrong, and that they shouldn't have judged it! but still nobody listened. For a while I abandoned the 'campaign' if you will, for Brokeback and began spreading the word to people I knew very well that it was a spectacular movie. When the men I knew heard about it they scoffed and said that it was sick, and any chick who wanted to see it had major issues. I just told then to shove their opinions up their a***, pardon my french. I simply didn't care what they said about it. But in general this movie is the best movie i have seen in my entire life. It gives you a different view on human function, and how people see other people. I say that you should watch the movie and do not judge it before hand.
