Brokeback mountain

I just saw this last night. I am a heterosexual and apart from one or two awkward scenes this film was amazing. It was brilliant. For some reason it really hit home, it is not just about homosexuality but a lot of other things in society like alienation and loneliness. Have any other straight guys seen this? What did you think??

Personally, I thought it was a bit crap.

Hated it.

Lies! You enjoyed it!!!

Now, admitting you have a problem is the first step. This will be a gradual process for you, my turbaned follower of Mehmet, but given patience and time, you will come to see the error of withholding your true inner feelings.

May the Force be with you.

Overexaggeration.

how was it over exaggerated?

Saw it last night too it was alright but I prefered Monster's Ball which was on later. I think Heath had a more convincing role.

I only watched a bit of monster's ball after that.

My GF dragged me to see it when it first came out. We left during the "tent scene"

I thought Lee's earlier film "The Wedding Banquet" was a lot better. Gay Cowboys? Really? Also -- the short story was actually a rip-off of another lover story (with a straight couple of course).

I watched it for the lolz, but like Nikos I left off at the tent scene

Well, then you have missed the best parts of the movie. I was sceptical about it before I saw it, expecting lots of kitsch, and some awkward gay love scenes. While the "tent" scene was stunning in its intensity (but I guess only because you usually don't see gay sex in mainstream movies - who would have flinched if it would have been two girls in the backseat of a car?), the movie featured great actors, and a very calm, unpretentious visual language and script, and turned out to be a great drama about emotional issues every human being has.

The movie was okay, it made you think about the unfortunate death of Heath Ledger.

Nothing special, though i really don't see the problem with the love scenes. You can watch a man doing it to a woman, or a woman doing it to a woman, so why not man to man? The sexuality certainly makes no difference, it is just inherent homophobia, which is sad.

Tjeez... why is everyone so grossed out over 2 guys making out? You didn't even see anything at all. Big deal, I watched the movie with my gf and we both found it very touching. Somehow some ppl can't accept that there is something like homosexuality and that this can be the subject of a tragic lovestory... This is indeed quite sad. What's even more sad is the 'oh I'm so wickedly awesome that I can't watch a gay lovestory in my awesome heterosexual awesomeness so I left after the tent scene, so now I can brag about my heterosexual awesomeness on the internetz and add a smiley after it!'-attitude.
