Brokeback Mountain - Movie Review
Who hear has ever boffed a dude before? If so, what's better, boffing a dude or nailing some gonch?
...You've got to be kidding. Anyways, about time you guys got the review up. Not bad.
I'm surprised by Soto's focus on the sexual aspect of things. The film is about two different kinds of love: Ennis's loving a person, and Jack's loving a person and a particular lifestyle. Portraying relatively few sex acts doesn't diminish the film's message about the types of love that exist. Incidentally, I don't find Ennis's post-parting nausea unconvincing at all--it's the first major indicator that we have for how deeply his uncharacteristic forays into a male-male relationship have touched him.
I'm fairly hard to please, and I thought this was one of the best films I've seen in the last ten years. Incredible.
