I finally saw "Brokeback Mountain" tonight.
Damn. Just... ... ... Damn. First off, even though Ang Lee is not from rural America, he has captured perfectly the look and feel of country places. Greasy spoon diners, dive beerjoints, country houses, and off-Main Street businesses really used to look just like they're depicted in the movie. The movie also contains the most accurate and unflinching depictions of gay sex and intimacy I've ever seen, period. It is an extremely powerful and moving motion picture, and it should sweep the Oscars this year.

I'd say it's best to go see this with a friend. And don't forget the hankies...it's a tear-jerker.

If there are people who are still resistant to the idea of watching this movie, I will give you another reason why you should.
Larry McMurtry. If his name sounds familiar, there is a good reason. Among the works he's responsible for, you will see gems like, Terms of Endearment (novel), The Last Picture Show (Novel and screenplay), and Lonesome Dove (novel). He co wrote the screenplay with Diana Ossana. They actually wrote the screenplay several years ago and had been trying to get the movie made for years. What a blessing that they succeeded and ended up working with a wonderful partner like Ang Lee. |

Another humorous spoof movie...a trailer that uses the Brokeback Mountain format and music...to tell of the secret love between...
Doc Brown and Marty McFly. Back to the Future fans will get a kick out of it especially. Hilarious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfODSPIYwpQ |

If Jack and Delmar had met, fallen in love, and lived happily ever after, then there wouldn't have been much of a story. I was impressed by how this movie tells a story about two macho guys whose only problem is that they happen to fall in love with each other, and all the trials and tribulations they have to suffer because of that. As good as this movie is, and as much as Hollywood likes to play "follow the leader", I wonder how many similar stories it will inspire in the next few years?
