"It's a drama about an aspect of the human experience which is, like it or not, real. Everybody walking out of the theater when I saw it was crying or stunned--old people, young people, straight couples, gay couples. It's about loss and regret and the choices we make which spread ripples of unhappiness through our lives and the lives of people raound us. Has anybody else who has posted on this thread seen it? It's a masterpiece which is going to be seen and talked about, which is going to move people to tears for many many years after we are all gone. I think that I can be a conservative and support small government, a strong defense policy and the power of the free market without losing the ability to be moved by a work of art like Brokeback Mountain."
NAMBLA members make the same claims. Try changing the age of one of the "actors" to a 10 year old boy and the same male actor. Hollywood could manipulate your emotions similarly, but that doesn't make it right. Hollywood is not reality nor is homosexual behavior anything but perversion and a huge public health issue costing lives and wasted billions. It is indeed a masterful product of a very sick mind.
That quote is a complete falsehood (not you for posting it, but whoever wrote it and what it states).
People are said to be "running out of the theatre" and most of them heterosexual males who leave when the first sexual incident occurs between the two homosexual males on screen. Heterosexual males attending the film because the females they're with asked them to see the film.
Running out of the theatre and mostly in abject disgust.
And, given that there's a very, very limited type of person IN the audience for this film -- homosexuals and some who "sympathize" with homosexuality for whatever reason -- it's already a huge statement about the audience (and those running out in disgust are those who are said to have attended because they were told or asked to by a female they escorted who wanted to see the film). Look at the numbers: low and getting lower and it's because the film had one audience and one only and it was a "pre-affirmed," "pre-enthused" audience of (almost completely) homosexuals and/or those otherwise influenced about homosexuality with some sympathetic reason to see the film.
Which means a very small minority of the population.
For anyone not in those groups, they're "running out of the theatres in disgust" from what I've heard and read in a few objective news sites.
I agree with the comparison with NAMBLA terminology, also. You have that right.
And, the entertainment media is largely populated by homosexual males and those who associate with them in some skewed sense of "trendiness." So, little surprise that the entertainment media is going foolish-apey over this film...it's their sugar water.
