Amazingly not amazing...

Rating: 8/10 (15 February 2006)

I just saw Brokeback and I have to say that it is a very good movie. The most amazing thing surrounding the film is that it is just an above average love story, and when you watch it, this is what you think of. I was amazed at how the emphasis was put on love and a forbidden relationship, instead of the fact that the parties involved were gay. I went into the film with reservations like most men would, but I came out feeling like I had be suckered into another 'chic flick.' And for this I applaud Ang Lee. To make such a controversial topic seem like a normal movie is amazing to me. I went in expecting Fahrenheit 911 and walked out as if I had watched March of the Penguins. This is a very good movie and I encourage every person who enjoys a love story to watch it, and every other person to watch how easy it is to accept a homosexual relationship as you would any other relationship.
