Rayn:
Annie Proulx's writing is concerned with a particular American idiom, the kind you say British people ridiucule; the kind some of us are using here.

Many eminent critics have described the movie as a melodrama! Among them are Ann Hornaday of Washington Post and Phil Hall of Film Threat!

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, a personal view, but no one is required to agree with every opinion. Critics are just people with opinions. In my opinion, Brokeback Mountain is not a melodrama. In fact, I feel that calling BBM melodramatic is an insult to the author. I also think critics who claim it is melodramatic are using incorrect diction when they write about Brokeback Mountain. That's how I feel based on what I know (an educated opinion) and I stand by it.
Yours truly,
Rayn
