Okay, so every now and then I hear people criticize the line "Jack Nasty" cause they think it's really cheesy. And I wonder: am I the only person who doesn't think it's cheesy?
I mean, an example of a cheesy line to me, would be when you turn on 7th Heaven and you hear the likes of:
"I'm gonna go help you win your girlfriend back!"
"You'd do that for me?"
"Well, we're brothers, aren't we?"
And then you're left thinking, oh Good lord, did they actually think this was good when they filmed it?
But I watch Brokeback and I see the way Michelle Williams beautifully performs that scene, her face contorting with so much anguish, the words are almost unsaid, you hurt for her. She makes it so meaningful and even on paper, one can infer meaning from the line. Not only does she feel betrayed, she's repulsed by Ennis' sexual orientation.
So, it was just making me wonder about the essence of cringe-worthy dialogue. I just don't get that impression at all from the line. I mean, don't you think it would've been distracting if she had thought of some elaborate 'diss?'
