Would Brokeback Mountain movie been better or worst with no females, no wives ??
Artiste:
So women are needed you say Katie and Front-Ranger for Annie's story and the Brokeback Mountain movie ? !! OK!!
But consider if otherwise, please.
Remember movies with no women?
Au revoir,
hugs!
Katie77:
Cant say I remember any movies without both female and male characters. (Not unless it was X rated)
And we are not talking about any other movie, we are talking about Brokeback Mountain, where both men and women played an integal part of the story line.
Front-Ranger:
There have been some I think...I recall the movie Three Kings about the Gulf War...I don't think there were any women in that one. In the movie Apocalypse Now there were only one or two scenes with women. There was probably a Western or two that had no women. And there have been many many movies where women were rather inconsequential to the story. Such as Butch and Sundance, where Katherine Ross served very little purpose.
Also there was a movie called If set in a boy's school in Britain and there may have been a female teacher or two but I don't recall any. The Dead Poet's Society...I don't remember any women in that one. October Sky, History Boys, The Good the Bad and the Ugly, Maurice...gee there are more than I thought at first (yes, there's a female teacher in October Sky, but she is a minor player).
One thing that bothers me is when the only female in the story is the villain. And have you noticed how often it is a mother? That burns me up! In Shelter, there is an uncaring unnurturing mother or sister who leaves all the nurturing role to the lead character.
Artiste:
Merci Front-Ranger !
I can see your point when you say:

...
Front-Ranger, and I accept that female not be such vilains!
...........
Can you also think that movie with only males, such Brokeback Mountain, could maybe help to combat anti-gay ideas ?
Au revoir,
hugs! I do ask that question to you and to others, since I know that women like being together, and men like being together !! (At least, at times! And I am not talking about islamic or other males ONLY all the time times!!)

I don't think that's true friend Artiste. There are many who like a mixed company.
