I cannot stop thinking about this movie...so heart wrenching...

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2006)

Brokeback Mountain is a fabulous film...a very sad, tragic, thought provoking film with so many levels, I am not sure a lot of people will really get the film. It is not so much about being gay or not being gay, it has to do with acceptance of self, acceptance of another for what they are, and what they are not & also what we are all born into, our families, our heritage, our upbringing, doing what we are told is right by others, our ability to get swallowed up in what we know or our inability to deal with demons we can't seem to put to rest while trying to be true to ourselves....and most of all it's about fear, fear of the unknown, of something or someone that is different, not the norm...fear makes us afraid of what it is we don't know...we don't embrace fear or befriend it, we run from it, or worse, we destroy ourselves or snuff out and destroy the person that is pushing our buttons of fear..what is so damn sad is that it really isn't necessary to create such a heart breaking tragedy in our lives, if people could just 'be'.... A very fine film...
