Of course I am speaking of Brokeback Mountain, the movie starring *gasp* Jake Gyllenhaal (swoon!) and Heath Ledger as gay cowboys in love… say what? Yes, a full fledged wide release of a gay LOVE story that, if it is anything like the preview, will be a welcome addition to the lack thereof in gay cinema!!! I think that I have watched this preview like ten times, and I may even go watch it again after I write this. Check it out at upcomingmovies.com. Let me know what you think… Is conservative America ready for gay cowboys, in love?
I, for one, am excited to see something like this being made, and if I have to, I will go see it as many times as it takes, in order to make sure it doesn’t fall to the wayside. I can handle the folks getting up and walking out, like they did in Alexander (believe it or not… good grief), but I couldn’t handle it if this movie didn’t get the attention that it deserves. I am sure there will be some backlash, but backlash is part of awareness, and the only way we will get anywhere with conservative America, is to raise awareness.
One good selling point is that the screening at the Venice Film Festival has gotten lots of great reviews, and that can only mean good things for this movie.
Do yourself a favor and check out the preview… I know that it made this movie THE one to see, for me… perhaps it will do the same for you.
