Oprah repeat today!

I have it on tape from the first time, but it is great watching it with the rest of the country. Maybe it will get to someone who missed it the first time, and open a whole new world for them too.
Based on the questions asked, I don't think Oprah "got it". She liked the movie because all the right people in the world liked it. She had the cast on her show, because it was the talk of hollywood, the film to see. It still bugs me that she would ask whether or not the boys thought that having an affair on their wives was 'conflicting'. If she really understood the movie, she would know that they had no other real choice. If she really understood Ennis's struggles, that question would'nt have come to mind.
However, Oprah has a huge audience, and if their exposure was able to get even a few to discover Brokeback Mountain, then I am grateful for it.

Yeah, you are 100% right, Oprah was clueless. Too bad, she usually has a brain... I didn't even bother to tape it, but maybe I should have anyway.... oh well.

Yes, Eric...SHE was, but they weren't and Jake nailed her twice about her disingeniousness and then Anne talked back too. I loved that....when Jake said " what are you trying to get at?" and then Heath's compassionate and intellegent comment in answer to that revolting suggestion about them being on the Down Low...god Oprah was totally clueless but they handled it. I was proud of them and enjoyed their interaction with each other

I agree, Victoria, Oprah obviously tried to ask all the salacious questions trying to make them squirm, including a reference to Jakes break-up. Seemingly to try and get all the details in before their half hour was up. But Heath, being the eloquent man that he is, succeeded in moving the conversations to a better direction. Oprah seemed to revert to her old "gossipy" self, you know, like her shows from the 80's.
