I mean, what&#8217;s the big deal?  So, the guys are gay.  How is this movie different than any other love story.  Granted, I probably won&#8217;t go see this movie while it&#8217;s out in the theatre, but I&#8217;ll probably make it a Netflix rent when it comes out on DVD.  This being said, why the big fuss?  Because it&#8217;s two gay guys in a love story rather than a man and a woman?  Don&#8217;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?<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Anywho, that&#8217;s my rant.
