a masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2006)

It is my opinion that this story is truly beautiful and still so frustrating at the same time. It gets to the heart of a homophobic society we are all forced to live in. It is truly a heartbreaking tale of how intolerant society can be and most times are. With such a tiny role, Jacks mother had more of an affect on me than any other actor. Her unspoken acceptance of her sons choices in this era(1960's-1970's) of ignorance and hatred was so well done that I have a hard time getting her out of my mind. It is truly an example of a mother's unconditional love in such a redneck era. Overall, I thought this was brilliant. Never overboard, leaving the audience to think for themselves. I am blown away at other's comments stating that they were confused, bewildered. Why is it that when a person goes to a movie, it is assumed that the writer has to spell out each and every little thing for them? Think for yourselves for the love of God. If you are mature enough to be admitted to see this film, then have an open mind and for God's sake....USE IT! Again, I will state- NEVER OVERBOARD, LEAVING THE AUDIENCE TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES......... A masterpiece....
A masterpiece.
