Brokeback Blogging
Okay, there has been a lot of chatter about Brokeback Mountain and I now feel it is time to put in my two cents worth. My first beef is the people who say that the two characters weren't gay enough.
What?
You want to put them in dresses and have them swish across the mountain. . .can anyone say To Wong Foo, Thanks for the Sheep? Come on, these were regular guys just caught up in their desires. Not every homosexual everywhere wears short shorts or flies a pride flag from their penis. Most of us are regular, everyday kinda guys just trying to get along in this world. Ennis and Jack just happened to be cowboys trying to live their lives and get along.
As for those who say too gay, did you even see the movie? Shut up!
I have to agree with the one fellow who said that he found it hard to believe that they would go to the mountains and camp, but never fish. Very true, but this is a movie. . .not reality. Lets face it this was a damn good movie based on a pretty decent short story. It has got people talking which is good and is actually making some money. If it wins some awards tonight then even better. Maybe we will actually get some high quality queer films out that pander to the lowest common denominator.
