Brokeback Mountain

[milkbar]

I went last night and it made me cry.. beautiful boys and beautiful scenery. I want (to be) a cowboy. Anyone else seen it yet? what did you think?

ooooooooo you're sharp!

I didn't notice, did he say " Awwwwwww Ye?"

I thought the aging process and makeup was excellent.

If you really want to know all the goofs go on to the link I posted, IMDB, and have a look under goofs.

Yeah, I liked the aging process and makeup, very well done. I liked that it was a reasonably subtle film, stuff like the rancher/rancher's wife business was pretty subtly done.

It did freak me out a bit that the Heath Ledger character reminded me of an ex. Not in the "liking boys" stuff, but in the not-talking stuff.

i absolutely loved it, i would say a timeless movie of forbidden love, a modern romeo & romeo

There was a big hoo hah here (north Queensland) with one of the MPs (from Cairns I think) saying that there were no gay cowboys in Queensland and it was just right that nowhere was going to screen it...lots of fuss and it's now going to be shown beyond the major cities. Can't wait for it to get here (probably six months later than the rest of the world); book was so good!

just seen it for the second time (on my own - once was enough for dh). Ahhhhhh - what a film. I could easily see it a third time I think.
Jake and Heath are so easy on the eye, the scenery is beautiful, the storyline is gripping...
I've just read the short story, too. It was nice to see that they really kept to it, a lot of the dialogue is straight from the book (most noticably the high-altitude f*cks! ).

Dy-eyed here!

Main reservation was that there was no example in the film of anyone being happily fulfilled in a relationship. They were all miserable in their pairs. And if Heath and Jake had got together they'd have been no better.

I thought it was all about human dissatisfaction with lot. Grass is greener and all that.

The gay bit just made it more poignant

Hated they way Jake's character made it plain he would just have upped and left his little boy

particularly glad that Ang Lee didn't go for the obvious "here's the ashes, go scatter them on your old shagging territory, Brokeback Mountain" (from Jake's mum, who so obviously knew. as did his dad)

I think she sneaked the ashes in the paper bag though don't you? Very Asian

Good innit?

when Ennis's daughter left her cardigan in his trailer it reminded me of how Ennis had left his shirt at brokeback mountain and Jack had kept it....very subtle but clever IMO.

It's those clever Asians you see... have you seen "Eat Drink, Man Woman" also by Ang Lee?

I am pestering ohter mothers at the school gates to go and see it with me again

Message withdrawn

donnie, I hated that bit, thought it was a visual echo too far (cue Thomas Hardy's pathetic fallacy) but loved the film on the whole

I didnt like this film and was really disappointed.Maybe I was in the wrong type of mood.
