'Brokeback Mountain' - A Review (Unmarked Spoilers)

[libraryvixen]

I haven't seen the film yet but based on GC's review, I look forward to seeing this film when it hits a theatre near me.

This film looked like it was right up my alley the moment I saw Jakey's name. Add to the fact that they were straight fellas... I was SO going to be there. Also, Heath and Michelle have a little baby, Matilda (I keep on thinking Waltzing Matilda).

I applaud the fact that now there is a fantastic movie that portrays a genuine love relationship between two men that is a drama feature and not an over the top representation (examples: Kiss Me Guido, The Birdcage). Aside from Philadelphia, there really hasn't been a mainstream movie that has garnered a lot of press over the fact that the main characters are gay.

Since my NorCal friends here haven't shown a lot of interest in going to see this film, I will bring myself as a date who will love and appreciate this movie. Oh, and I plan on bringing some tissues with me (thanks for the tip Brad!)
