Just re-watched Brokeback Mountain

It's a remarkable story and a remarkable movie. I'm a giant Proulx fan and knew the story long before it was filmed. The unhappy nature of things is very typical of Proulx's work, so I never considered it negative about gays in any way.

I don't know why people try to characterize it as a "romance" - it's not. It's a drama, even a tragedy, about a very ugly time. Complaining about it would be like griping about a story about Jews during the holocaust not being happier.

That is a completely asinine comparison. You should be ashamed. This is work of shitty fiction. The Holocaust is real.

And the way gays often had to live in previous decades is real too.

And the comparison wasn't to the Holocaust but to a STORY about it.

Or did you think being gay in a rural area a few decades ago was all singing and dancing?
 
Your point makes no sense. Things are still not perfect. Being gay in lots of places today is still dangerous and deadly. In many ways just as bad or worse than they show in the movie. It's not like they showed anything new.

And I dont think the setting was even that far back. I think most of it took place in the 70s.

The bottom line is people dont have to like the movie if they dont want. There's no need to lecture people about how wrong they are for not liking it. And stop with the stupid Holocaust comparison. It's like people that try to compare racism and homophobia as if they are exactly the same.

That's fucking stupid. There are vast improvements over that time.

And people are free to disagree with you, like I did. If you can't get a comparison about movies made about bad times, it's your problem, not mine.

If you don't like my posts you can ignore them.

Things have improved in SOME places but it some places it is still that bad.

The problem with your posts isnt that you have a different opinion, but that you generalize and insult people for not "getting" the movie and not loving it as you do.

Do you not know where the Ignore button is?

(Additionally, I never insulted anyone for not "getting" the movie. I insulted you for your poor reading comprehension, which you are proving yet again.)
 
I loved this movie. I have been watching all the gay movies on streaming Netflix. Check those out. Not all are heartbreaking. A lot are though. Eyes Wide Open was really good. But watch Weekend. Loved that one.
 
The best and most heart breaking scene was when Jack come to meet Ennis for the 1st time since they left the mountain, and they start to kiss passionately and Ennis wife ( Michelle Williams ) sees it, you can just feel her heart drop, her whole life just shattered.
 
Every time I see this film, I hate Crash a little bit more.

Don't even get me started on the Oscar injustices that year. I'm glad Heath Ledger won a much deserved posthumous Oscar for The Dark Knight, but it's a disgrace that his ICONIC performance in Brokeback lost to Philip Seymore Hoffman's facile, stereotypical, SNL-skit posturing in the mediocre Capote.

Sgt Pepper - I could not agree with you more. I've been saying exactly that since those Academy Awards. Hoffman is talented, but he watched a ton of clips of Capote and mimicked him. Heath created a rich character from very little material. The book for Brokeback is very very short and sparse. That Heath came up with the character and mannerisms that made him so human in Brokeback is amazing.

Thank you again. I have been chewed to pieces for not loving Seymour Hoffman in Capote. Some other little man did the same role and was much better as Truman. I don't know his name.
