BM movie is anti-gay??
Artiste:
I still think to-day that the Brokeback Mountain movie is anti-gay, in some ways, unfortunately !
What do you think ? Member and non-members ??

Artiste:
The more you see Brokeback Mountain movie, the more you see it as anti-gay, maybe ?
Front-Ranger:
I don't see Brokeback Mountain as anti-gay, in fact, I see it as pro-gay, because both Ennis and Jack, the two gay characters in the movie, are the protagonists and are sympathetic characters. Even though they each have their flaws, by the end of the movie (on first glance, actually, for many of us) we love them and want them to be happy. The movie is a tragedy however, being a realistic portrayal of the challenges gay people face in the backward areas of Texas and Wyoming, then and even now, 50 years later. Just because the movie and story portray the real situation instead of an idealized fantasy doesn't make it anti-gay. I think it would be helpful if you saw another of Ang Lee's movies that is pro-gay The Wedding Banquet. You would like it, Artiste.
Artiste:
Merci Front-Ranger !
I will re-read your post more than once, and comment later on !!
For now, I just heard Heath talking that he feels like a virgin about the Brokeback Mountain movie, since he normally would not have sought a gay man ! Is that news, as to maybe the BM movie is anti-gay?
Au revoir,
hugs!

Front-Ranger and others:
If Heath had been a gay man, openly a homosexual, wouldn't the Brokeback Mountian movie been more pro-gay ?
What do you think ?
Au revoir,
hugs!
