I'm thinking of moving to Brokeback Mountain

Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2006)

I'm a gay man so of course I'm probably very biased. However, the manner in which these two MARVELOUS actors, Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenthal, authentically portray two men who fall in love with each other is nothing short of stunning. Clearly, neither one was prepared for the omnipotent force and gripping power of LOVE. And, just to be fair, they were in LOVE; this was no casual, hormone and curiosity-driven one-time roll in the hay.
Trust me, I know. As a gay man myself I've had at least several hundred sexual encounters, but I've been in Love only 5 times. This film didn't just bring a few tears to my eyes; I left the theater bawling like a baby, doing nothing to conceal the extent to which this film MOVED ME, emotionally and spiritually. For the first time I truly felt validated. To the judgmental, bible-thumping bigots who claim that this Ang Lee masterpiece is nothing more than a "low grade gay cowboy flick" I say this: "Judge ye not lest ye be judged ..." and ask, "Is this how Jesus would act?" Love is not only a force of nature; Love is THE most powerful force in the universe and especially right now, this world could certainly use a lot more Love. As the late great John Lennon wrote: "All you need is Love".
