Just A Bad Movie....

Rating: 1/10 (28 July 2006)

This movie starts out slow and continues slow....it doesn't even follow the book which it was based on really as in it, One of the cowboys rapes the other...however in the movie Jake Gyllenhal is not raped but instead he willingly accepts the sex....the movie moves slow with horrible dialog including the morning after the first time they supposedly "make love" in which Heath Ledger states the fact he "Ain't no queer" and Jake Gyllenhal responds with what is basically a yeah, me too kind of statement. Jake Gyllenhal and Heath Ledger are both very talented actors, and they did deserve to get an Oscar Nod for a movie they were in...just not this one...all the way up to the end after Jake dies and Heath lives on to say that "Ain't None of us queers." Which is horrible dialog! As, the word queer, means out of the ordinary, and it is out of the ordinary for a man to put his private parts in another man. I have nothing against gays, I have quite a few friends that are gay in fact. There is nothing wrong with it so don't say that I didn't like this movie for the fact that I'm a homophobic or something because I'm not. This was just a bad movie...
