Friend's parents (mother) hated movie because there wasn't romance.

And this has to do with?...

AC (Aussie Chris), aha! Something about the way you write says "Melbourne", dunno how I missed that :laugh:. Despite my alarming proximity to Sydney, I never fail to marvel over the difference betwixt the two cities. Sydney folk are so ....... gormless.

Hmmm, dubious.

JAD (Joe Allen Doty),
agreed. real life romance isn't owned by one gender (tho my husband would beg to differ), but mainstream cinematic and/or literary romance is almost exclusively uterine. just adds to my 'work in progress' notion that the contemporary male is in an emasculation crisis.
for me, that's part of the magic of Brokeback. Jack and Ennis were 'primary' males when they fell in love. they could be authentic men because they were far from the stultifying (women), castrating (women), strictures (women) of the modern human world.
on that note, I'm off to clean the toilet :)
