Artiste: Brokeback is painful to watch because it portrays painful truths very effectively. The movie is so great that it bores itself into your soul, you can't get away from it. Some people avoid movies, books, sculpture, photography, or fine art that causes them pain. Maybe that is denial on their part. But, in my opinion, the finest role of all of the arts, a category which I place movies in as well, is to make us reach into ourselves and thereby better understand ourselves and our roles in life. Maybe labelling Brokeback as "anti-Gay" is just denial of some very painful truths. You asked a very good question, I think a question that goes to the heart of why the impact of Brokeback endures and will endure for sometime into the future.

Thanks brokeplex!

I think that the Brokeback Mountain movie has flaws, and too many, but it is mainly an ANTI-GAY movie!!

I do not know if you are straight, gay or consider yourself something else?? That can make a difference!

I am a gay man. I see more and more that this movie is ANTI-GAY, and in many ways!!

This movie was made by straights, you know that?

Hugs!

I am befuddled. As gay male I cannot see why the movie would be anti-gay? I think the movie reallly nailed what a "BrokeBack Marriage" could be like. All I know is the movie will forever hold a piece of my heart.

As I, I think that maybe you are wishful thinking that the BM movie is pro-gay, but I know that it is anti-gay in many ways!!

Finding out the ways that it is anti-gay?

Does it have to be labeled as pro-gay or anti-gay? "Brokeback Mountain" tells a story of 2 gay men who loved each other and who responded to that love in different ways. I just think it's pro-love maybe. It seems to urge people to be themselves and helps us see how a true love can be very painful. I think it makes people more willing to accept that love can come to them in all different ways.
