Thread: BrokeBack Mountain

I saw this movie yesterday, and I didnīt get to finish it, I found it too flat. Have you guys seen it?
Any different opinion?

I really liked it, and of course I cried at the end. Go finish it! :-D

I think it's an amazing love story. From a different perspective, of course.

The performance of the blonde guy is amazing... who could imagine he was such a good actor after seeing "A knight's tale"!

Sure..
My wife -a U.S.born lady- started one day to "push" me to get to the movies with her. The purpose was to watch this movie you're talking about(Broke Back Mountain). She did enjoyed it.
I am from a country where the "machismo" among men is deeply-seated in people's hearts. I have thus been terribly affected by it, don't you think? -So, because of what I did at a certain scene in the movie, please have compassion on me, will you?
When I saw the two guys "locked in"(you know what I mean, don't you?) I did not find any positive effect and I regretted having come in the movie theater. I WALKED OUT of it, and left her enjoying her amazing film. I went in another room where they were playing "Cassino Royal", one of the James Bond's stories.
Overall... I DID NOT LIKE IT AT ALL.

Hope you still keep getting the most of it.
RAUL.

Honestly, I didn't like it at all and it has nothing to do with the whole gay thing. I just didn't buy the love story. I do think that the performances were good, but that's not enough to make a movie worth watching. I wouldn't recommend it.
Anyway, Analaura maybe you should finish it and see for you self if you like it or not.

hhmmm, i really liked the movie as well. i guess you may need to be a bit more open minded seeker50. machismo or not, your reaction seems a bit overly dramatic.

I liked the movie, too. It is a controversial topic, of course, but that makes the film even more intense. It is an adult movie, some scenes are harsh.

Did you happen to know that one of the stars of the movie, Heath Ledger, died last week of an overdose? :S

Yes, it's a real shame... he was such a promising actor... and such a sudden death...
