Brokeback Mountain
I went to watch "Brokeback Mountain" today with my girlfriend.
After so many awards and expectations I was really curious about it and of course, since it was a movie about gays I was even more interested. I couldn't expect a little about it. I wanted to watch a well done movie, something that finally gave some room in this narrow world. However, "Brokeback Mountain" kept just expectations.
It is not a bad movie, it doesn't stigmatize gay people, it doesn't make them look womanlike but cinematographically speaking it is not a bog thing. Besides, I think there are much more better ways to tell a gay story.
The movie is slow and during a lot of moment I preferred to stare at my girlfriend's silhouette. The movie has many true deals, for example, the fact of feeling that everybody is watching you and knows about your truth or like always one of the parties can't or doesn't want to leave the "normal" life. The movie shows the long distance relation, the pain of needing and not having the other party but, the movie also forgets things like the pain of keeping secrets.
It is not a great movie and I must sadly say that its success is just the "novelty" result.
It could be better, much better.

I guess that's why it didn't win an Oscar.
But not everyone has the insight you have. So if you can't relate, I imagine it must be tailored to not be so accurate.

I don't know Smelly, you think we can adapt your story with Fish into the next Brokeback Vancouver?
