Would Brokeback Mountain movie been better or worst with no females, no wives ??

Without the women, the story would not have shown the true nature of the hiding that gay men had to go to in order to have a safe life. What
you are proposing with only men, is just a story about two guys who have a lot of sex and time together. That is not what the story is about.
It would be a totally different story, about a totally different time, and era. It was meant to show the pain they were forced into. The pain it
caused to the wives and children and other members of their family. It was affecting everyone they came into contact with. The parents and all.

Merci ifyoucantfixit !
Your post says many things. I was firstly pleased as well as perplexed by your first sentence, then shocked by its second, and as I saw your detals in the rest, I must say: but it's that a female(s)/woman/women point of view ?
Ever thought of putting yourself in a males/men point of view ? I do confirm that you tried in a way by stating that Ennis and Jack did hide via female/wives they had, but of course was that not only in the movie?
Didn't Annie show two men and that was not just sex, right ?
May I ask ?
Au revoir,
hugs!

The thing I was saying is that the story is about how society and the prejudices it produces, cause
pain to not only the gay men, but everyone they come into contact with. That is what the story
tells.

Merci ifyoucantfixit !
You tell more and well, by your post !
But it is still a woman's point of view, and can you think how a gay man would feel and/or see it?
Au revoir,
hugs!

Artiste, Here in my humble opnion, of a gay male, Brokeback is what it is and I don't question the
female parts or if it would be better without women. As the women here on Bettermost have stated,
it normal to have women around. Women, straight and lesbian, I have even seen in male gay bars.
Life is as it flows its natural courses.
Enjoy! Live to the fullest.
