Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

"V" is vermin

The vermin in BBM are the two, big, drunk, grosss, ooglyazz, offensive, disrespectful, foul-mouthed, booze-belly pigz at the Independence Day fireworks scene.  Now, those two were vermin big  time!!  FYI, I happened on reading that someone(s) thought that surprise scene was unrelated or unnecessary!?  Ding-dong!!!  Three of that scene's points were to show, prove and educate that Gays: (1) protect their families, (2) kick azz, too, and (3) win at kicking azz!!!  In fact, it was one of my AnDre's fave scenes in the movie! ;D

Lee’s Brokeback Mountain carries on the Wuxia tradition in Chinese storytelling, which details how warriors find their humanity. Lee’s main rival in Wuxia filmmaking is Zhang Yimou, creator of films “Hero” and “House of Flying Daggers.´

=comment=
Here is additional information about the Wuxia tradition in filmmaking:
There is a long literary tradition in China called "Wuxia" that has to do with martial arts, chivalry, and historical epic storytelling. Wuxia novels and stories extend back to the early dynasties, and when the People's Revolution drove many Wuxia writers into exile the tradition was carried on in other places such as Taiwan, where Ang Lee was born. Wuxia stories have parallels to other cultures including the West. This is from Wikipedia:

Quote
Jiang Hu (__) (Gong Woo), (literally means "rivers and lakes") is the wuxia parallel universe - the alternative world of martial artists and pugilists, usually congregrating in sects, disciplines and schools of martial arts learnings. It has been described as a kind of "shared world" alternate universe, inhabited by wandering knights and princes, thieves and beggars, priests and healers, merchants and craftspeople. It corresponds roughly to America's Wild West period, or to the era of the Book of Judges in the Bible. The best wuxia writers draw a vivid picture of the intricate relationships of honor, loyalty, love and hatred between individuals and between communities within this milieu.
