A movie that will stay with me for the rest of my life, 2010-08-31
I know the title sounds very drastic or dramatic, but thats just how i feel. This movie simply puts the energy of love, in all her glory on display,for the world to witness,and lessons are taught as she is betrayed.I think one of the reasons why this movie is so profound to millions of people, is because straights can witness that gay love is just like theirs. Love is the common bond between all of us here on this green earth, and Brokeback Mountain illustrates that beautifully.

i don't like homosexuals, 2010-08-27
i don't like homosexuals and i don't want to understand their lifestyles, passions, or ambitions. they are not normal people. it is not normal to have intercourse in the anus. they are very disturbed people and all you viewers are blinded by the "love between 2 men" and don't think about what they are really promoting, which is masochistic behavior;inflicting pain on a man in the name of love. anal sex is painful and not right. this movie promotes immoral behavior and is not about love; it is about lust. KEEP THIS JUNK OUT OF YOUR BRAIN AND YOU'LL LIVE A LONGER, HAPPIER LIFE!!!!!!!!

Brokeback boredom, 2010-08-07
Mumbled dialogue, abject sqalour and dysfuctional relationships. And oh so boring. I enjoyed the mountain scenes with the sheep, but they only occupied about 1% of the movie. Interesting that so many people rate it highly on Amazon, everone I have actually met thought the same as I did. Must be a sampling artefact.

The Tainting of the Last American Icon, 2010-08-04
American Icons have been under attack the last half-century or so, a process that was started by the Left, accelerated in the '60s by the counter-culture, and carried on in the 70s-today by Hollywood and television. You name it, if it's an American Icon, it's been trashed ..... the church, the Pilgrims, Columbus, George Washington, sports heroes, American business, the American military, the police, the President, "Dead White Males," etc etc. All to cut out our beliefs, make us weak, make us ashamed of our heritage, and open us up to radical change. BUT there was always the Cowboy. The Cowboy, the strong, self-reliant, self-confident yet humble, physically and mentally tough Cowboy. He faced down the elements, wild animals, Indian attacks, and outlaws; he rode horses all day, roped cattle, slept out in front of a fire, and shot guns when he had to. Now THAT was an image that Americans could look upon and get some inspiration from. br / br /So of course, Hollywood had to go after the Cowboy and trash him in our minds. Replace that image with something twisted. OK, let's see, let's make him gay! And two of them getting it on out in the wilderness! Now, make this into a seemingly intelligent, compelling artful movie, so the critics have less reason to put it down, and there it is ............ you've just shot down one of America's icons. Anytime anyone brings up the Cowboy as an example of America's proud past and toughness, and some snide jerk will snicker, "Oh yeah, just like Brokeback Mountain," and undercut the argument with sarcasm and derision. SO that's what this movie is all about. It's called Cultural Marxism. Destroy America's cultural icons, and you can manipulate Americans. (See my review of American Beauty for another example.) br / br /The filmmakers dropped two gay Greenwich Villiage guys into Wyoming and Texas, made them cowboys, and ran their little "love" story. They COULD HAVE changed the characters and setting and kept a similar story, but no, they had to go for the jugular, and trash the image of the Cowboy. Next thing you know, they'll make a movie about Patton and make him gay. Or two gay Marines on Iwo Jima. Whatever. br / br /As for the plot, the acting, the scenery, the story, the music, the directing, that's all secondary to this agenda. But I give the movie 3 stars because much as you might HATE the agenda, the story is entertaining.

yeeehawww., 2010-07-19
I absolutely LOVE this movie. It is one of my Top 10 Favorites! I have literally watched it so many times I know almost all the lines.. I usually end up annoying the people I watch it with lol. br / br /It's a wonderful love story about 2 ordinary people who fall in love, who happen to be two men, and in the time period it was set it wasn't an ordinary situation to say the least. So they had to keep it secret and live separate lives which made put a strain on their relationship with each other. br / br /Deals with the one thing we all have in common, no matter what sex, race, religion, we are........LOVE. We all can relate. We have all felt the passion and the warmth of LOVE, we've all felt the hurt and heartache love can bring as well. br / br /This is one of the best movies of all time in my opinion. Best performances by Heath Ledger Jake Gyllenhaal. A must SEE and a must HAVE in your DVD collection.
