Brokeback Mountain

[rm]

It's sort of one of those "what's all the fuss about" movies, bcause it's really such a small film, that succeeds entirely on the smallest details of both performance and design since so much of the film is about reticence both necessary and not. I mean, yeah it's "the gay cowboy" movie, but I recommend this film to the dissatisified.

I agree with this; the solution will be founds when there are twenty gay-themed movies a year; some happy, some not.

Very true. That would end all such complaints by me. Of course, these days, I fear that the result will be bucket-loads of shuddersomely offensive queer romantic comedies to go alongside the bucket-loads of shuddersomely offensive straight romantic comedies. I'm looking forward to hopefully someday seeing modern films about romance that do not involve the awkward juxtaposition of vile and archaic stereotypes with modern concerns. Of course, to get to that point, most people will have had to have actually internalized the real lessons of feminism and I'm far from certain that this will happen anytime soon.
