Brokeback Mountain


Critics are praising Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain, starring two of the dreamiest dreamsters in Hollywood, Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger. Lee, known for directing the Incredible Hulk and Sense and Sensibility is pushing the American film norms. The movie tells the story of two cowboys, riding horses and making out. Yes, it's a gay love story, and it will be hitting America's big screens this Fall. Is America ready for this film? To tell you the truth, it doesn't matter, we should be. If we can have films that display the love between two married spies who have to kill each other (that crappy Brad Pitt movie that I hope you didn't pay $9 to see), why shouldn't we have a movie that deals with a far more realistic and serious love between two men? I guess the real question is, how long will it take for this movie to come under attack by the "family values" inspired Gonzales porn squad? Oh and in case you're wondering, the title of the film doesn't make me giggle...not at all.
