Merci encore tampatalon !

Well said as in your post !

That being said, there remains the fact that many gay men are refusing to see the Brokeback Mountain movie, either a second time or the first time ! Why ??

To me, if the movie had no females, then maybe if would be acceptable to gays ?


Au revoir, hugs!

Artiste, As far as not seeing the movie a second time I can only speak for myself. I have
3 copies and only have picked through individual scenes when I feel like watching. Why, you
may ask? Brokeback opens the scars of my past and the pain in the heart overtakes me.
I like many, have lived and still live my very own private Brokeback; however, I cannot shake my private demons.

Thanks for your post. And like you say, we live our own Brokeback !

You have more copies of the Brokeback Mountain movie than I do !

Congratulations!

I have two. And long to see it again, as soon as I have time.

I noted often that gay men that I have seen this year and in the past years refuse to see this movie again, as they have a sour taste about it; that is my word not theirs. And those that I try to get them interested in it, are refusing too ! I still wonder why?

And maybe iif no women was in that movie, maybe more gays would watch it ?

What do you think ?

Au revoir,
hugs!

It would not be Brokeback Mountain.  It would be another movie entirely.

If the Sound of Music didn't have children would it be better or worse?  I think it would be another film altogether.  :)

Merci Lucise !

That is one way to see it: two Brokeback Mountain movies needed; one beng for gay males !

Why would a non-female film one be different ? Didn't Annie's story, wasn't that different from the movie ?


Au revoir,
hugs!
