In Reply to: "Expectations from reading the book." Hmm... it was a short story. But besides that... posted by clarkjohnsen on January 10, 2006 at 00:02:29:
I disagree with most your points and think you are nitpicking.The "buzz" isn't because this a "Gay movie", it's because "Brokeback Mountain" is a damn good movie. The fact they are having an"uncoventional" relationship brought the film to a deeper, dangerous dramatic level that had more possibilities then your average "heterosexual" drama.
Follow Ups:
I certainly didn't regret the time spent, but as I said before, not for one moment did I believe in their relationship.To this day the portrayal of real sexual feelings between two men who identify as regular-guy masculine has not been done on the big screen or on TV. The short story was far better in that regard. But insofar as the film did somewhat break out of the envelope (in a PC-approved way, of course), it has generated interest.
lurks a Goldilocks.Clark, what exactly do you mean by "regular-guy masculine"?
You mean like Marlon Brando in "A Streetcar Named Desire"? Oh wait--that was written by gay guy.
Is possible for two "regular-guy masculine" guys to express "real sexual feelings" for each other and still be "regular-guy masculine," whatever that means?
You do realize that all gender is role playing, a kind of drag? And that, since it is all drag, it is impossible for one role to be more authentic than another?
Or are you just one of those self-hating femme types who still has a crush on the guy who pumped gas at the station on the corner?
Sorry, I know it seems like I have picked on you a lot today, but you keep posting and you keep posting really stupid things.
