What is it with this movie Brokeback Mountain? I mean, what’s the big deal? So, the guys are gay. How is this movie different than any other love story. Granted, I probably won’t go see this movie while it’s out in the theatre, but I’ll probably make it a Netflix rent when it comes out on DVD. This being said, why the big fuss? Because it’s two gay guys in a love story rather than a man and a woman? Don’t we all have something better to do then to make a big production out of love between a couple? Whether it be a man and a woman, a woman and a woman, or a man and man, what is the big deal?
While this movie may be good and indeed well acted, directed, and produced, I fear that too much attention is being made to the general issue of sexuality. I think the media response to this movie exemplifies our cultural issues with sexuality and homosexuality, similarly to how other movies show our issues with racism and violence.
Anywho, that’s my rant. For those with a comedic bone in them, check out the links below related to Brokeback Mountain, or “Bareback Mounting” as I like to call it.
