piasharn | Love is a Force of Nature

I saw Brokeback Mountain this evening.

...wow.

Anyone who tells you that this is a bad movie, that it doesn't deserve the praise and awards, that it advocates infidelity or adultery does not know what they are talking about.

Nor can I see how anyone could believe that it trying to lure people into being gay themselves. (You would have to be masochistic to want to go through what these characters experience.) This is not a happy movie, people. It is, however, a very poignant and moving one. It is intense not in the sense of that it keeps you on the edge of your seat, but rather through the emotions that lie beneath the words.

And it's a story that desperately needs to be told.
