reviewers?

Rating: 8/10 (8 January 2006)

It's amazing how many people here are pretending to have seen this movie. They're making all kinds of factual errors and don't fool us who have seen it for a second. I thought IMDb offered this space for honest reviews, not flaming editorials. Someone said the audience gets to see the characters' "packages" a few times, which just isn't true. The only nudity (on the men's part) is from a long distance when they're jumping into a lake.
I saw the movie two days ago and was moved by it and impressed with the performances. But any movie would have a difficult time standing up to all the hype Brokeback has received. When I saw the trailer a few months ago I knew nothing about the movie and was blown away by it. I kind of wish the movie had sneaked up on me like that, without my knowing so much about the story. All the comedians doing the "I wish I knew how to quit you" line and others have kind of ruined it. There were few surprises. Next time, Focus Pictures, release your movies all over the country, all at once. That way comedians and reviewers can't ruin the experience for the majority of us who don't get to see it until a month later.
This truly is a love story. I think we're starved for serious love stories. All we get from Hollywood is romantic comedies.
