BM movie is anti-gay??
Artiste:
Thanks David!
Somehow, that BM movie is not for gay men, hard to point that to you and to others!! ??
Hugs!

The film and story are about homophobia, but not simply external homophobia. It is largely about internalized homophobia, and the havoc and devastation it creates, not only for the individual, but for all those who love them. In fact, I would go as far as to say, that it is entirely about internalized, rather than external oppression. In that aspect, it can be viewed as tragedy, and a very well done tragedy at that. Again, it depends on what the social situation is in 30 years. It is still, however, a brilliant piece of film making.
Artiste:
Thanks Scott!
I think that I understand you, very well! You write brilliantly that!
I will try to understand much more too, your way, that way!!
I still feel that is is ALSO an anti-gay movie, especially the way it was cut? Do you?
Hugs!
brokebackjack:
I think scott said it beautifully. And no, I don't think it was antigay at all....
Artiste:
Thanks brokebackjack, and thanks to you too Shasta (sorry I forgot you)!!
I still find the BM movie anti-gay in many ways, and I think too in some ways, hopefully, that it is pro-gay in a way!! That remains to be said with proofs, by all!!
Presently, I am concerned that many on different numerous internet sites, are angry at Ennis and Jack getting married!! Too many women are angry, I repeat, at the main charactors, because they got married!! Why?
Hugs!!
