Conservatives Should See this Movie

Rating: Null/10 (2 January 2006)

I saw Brokeback Mountain yesterday. Although it was playing here in the suburbs, I went to see it in the city. I didn't want to hear people going "euwwww" during the sex and kissing scenes.
I cannot add to what has already been said here in previous posts. The characters certainly were not stereotype gay men. Hollywood should show more men like this. Not all gay men are like those in Queer Eye for the Straight Guy! The thing here is that neither Jack nor Ennis chose to be gay (or bi). It just happened. Conservatives who say that being gay is a choice should see this movie. It is a story of love, loss and wanting. Unfortunately, there are millions of Ennises and Jacks out there who are attracted to men, but have gotten married and had children, because it seems that is what society and the churches say is right. They live their lives in want of what they could have had. How pitiful.
I look forward to Brokeback Mountain cleaning up at the Golden Globes and at the Oscars. Bravo Mr. Lee!
