“Brokeback Mountain” is by far one of the most controversial movies of the decade and
deservedly so. Personally I believe that the movie's biggest controversy is not because this
is a "Gay Cowboy" lust story but has more to do with the fact that the critical masses have
come out in droves to praise this movie as a critical masterpiece. Personally, I am appalled
at the left-leaning movie industry. Not only did they close their eyes to the lack of storyline
and complete lack of any humanity or morals but they actually called this trash, not just
“good” but "great.” Put aside the fact that this movie is totally about homosexuality and put
in its place that the whole movie is about adultery centered around two incredibly selfish
human beings. Jack (Jake Gyllenhall) and Innis (Heath Ledger) end up screwing up
everyone's lives around them for the pursuit of a quarterly tryst. This to me is the most
disturbing part of the movie.
“Brokeback Mountain” is the story of two incredibly selfish cowboys who go off into the
mountains one summer to tend sheep. During their experience in the mountains, they fall
madly in lust with one another (Maybe it could be called love, but there is nothing really to
base that on except for the sex). They make an agreement that their lives will go back to
normal when they get back home and assure one another they are not "queer." Both go
back home and over time they each marry two absolutely wonderful women. They begin to
start their lives and things are as normal and as loving as can be, until one day, Jack
decides to come for a visit. Innis' wife immediately notices Jack and Innis making out and her
spirit is crushed in ways no one could imagine. Through the years, she turns a blind eye to
the fact that her husband is gay and suffers with a truly broken heart. Jack has become a
successful sales person for his wife's father's company and appears to have a blossoming
marriage. Through the years, both Jack and Innis neglect their wives for the sake of meeting
each other at “Brokeback Mountain” where they really do nothing but look at the stars and
have sex. These rendezvous are supposed to be in secret and occur once every 3 or 4
months. Both Jack and Innis destroy their marriages by completely neglecting their families
and by putting one another first, all of which is portrayed as acceptable.
The Christian view of homosexuality is clear in both the Bible and in the mainstream Body of
Christ. I tend to believe that you can reach a lot more gay people by just showing more of
the Lord's love to them, rather than bashing them and telling them opinions they already
know and have heard. I have a gay friend and neither of us skirt around the fact the fact
that I believe it is wrong, however both of us have a common respect for one another and
have a friendship based upon understanding, instead of what ones does behind closed
doors. I will never back down from discussing what I believe when the opportunity arises but
I do not believe in forcefully condemning someone based upon a choice they make and
based upon their lack of belief in Christ. Judging the world who does not believe in Chris
based upon a set of rules that are Biblical is literal nonsense, however so is backing down or
soft-pedaling what we believe.
“Brokeback Mountain” does indeed push the homosexual agenda as strong as it possibly
can, however if I were gay I would hate this movie because the first major homosexual hit is
about two selfish guys who really have no care about their families, jobs, or responsibilities.
They are only about one another. That’s it. It would have been so much more effective with
a better script and stronger morals. A movie that tries to counteract the belief that
homosexuality is immoral should do so by showing a moral code not by compounding the
belief with torturous and unending adultery.
“Brokeback Mountain” is not only an incredibly weak script that really leads nowhere but it
leaves you emotionally empty. I have such a hard time dealing with the horrible behavior
toward their families that I am not really drawn into the romance. You leave the movie feeling
numb, not heart broken or empathetic.
Ang Lee who directed this movie did a great job. The cinematography was nothing less than
perfect and spectacular. The views of the mountains and the countryside where jaw
dropping. If you are someone like me who pays attention to detail, you will notice one of the
worst makeup jobs I have honestly ever seen. Heath Ledger's makeup is caked on the whole
time and you can actually see the makeup cracks in his face. It’s atrocious. The acting by
Gyllenhall and Ledger was very good. The best acting by far was the wife of Innis played by
Michelle Williams. She does deserve to be nominated for an Academy Award. The shocker
and very sad part about the movie was the role played by Anne Hathaway who, in a break
from the innocent characters she usually plays, goes for broke revealing her body in its full
glory. Watching the princess from “Princess Diaries” sell out was just sad. Unfortunately,
Hathaway had become somewhat of a role model to kids and now that vision is gone.
“Brokeback Mountain” is a sad, torturous, and morally corrupt movie that validates the
liberal and left wing agenda to the fullest showing that, if you are homosexual and in love
with another person, adultery is justified. The movie is centered not on the lives that are
destroyed but the “love” that the two have for one another, portraying that love should
conquer all, putting aside morals and commitment. This was a disturbing movie on many
levels but mostly because Hollywood loves it. I will say that I could actually understand
giving this movie major Kudos if it was about homosexuals and had a good plot but it
doesn't. This movie proves that Hollywood just wants to promote an agenda and they don’t
care about the quality of the movie.
Warning: There are MANY, MANY scenes with nudity, sex scenes (both gay and straight),
and lots of language and vulgarity. This movie does not soft pedal the male-on-male
scenes and does show complete male nudity when both Innis and Jack go skinny-dipping.
To say the least, the “Eeewwww” Factor is major for straight people.
