Brokeback Mt.
InRE:
No, I ain't gonna spend good money on it, but after wading through some 200 laudations reading words like "sensitive, exploratory," other superlatives by movie critics, I wonder if 95% of them might not be homosexual?
Little boy comes running into house:
"Dad! Dad! I'm in love! With a girl!"
"Thank God, Son! You've made the right decision."
Bb characters appear more like reviled sheepherders from a historic view, and the married one's
character, deceitfully ruining the lives of wife and daughter foreverafter is contemptible, and the ultimate dishonesty.
As in all the animal kingdom, there are deviants from the norm, so-called, so that I now feel a certain sorrow for these people unable to enjoy that norm.
Of course we have questions:
1. In the 1800-1900s, say, up to 1945, when America's doors were still unlocked, business was "settled with a handshake," and people were supposed to look each other in the eye, the protagonists would have had the sh-- beaten out of them by other cowboys. What may have
saved this work in the eyes of some could have been Lee's N ational Geographic style photography.
2. Except for making homosexual movies, these protagonists can never be taken seriously again. Who could ever see a Dorian Gray Rock Hudson as an officer in the U.S. Cavalry with John Wayne, or as a leading lady's man?
3. Some gays claim they have different genes or chromosomes from regulars, but most of
those we recognize are homely people, and we wonder if they were just unable to get a regular partner?
4. Many straight people are going to find their skins crawling.
5. Isn't B-Mountain just a better sales pitch for a deviant sex style?
6. We wonder about the writer's mind. A lesbian?
What may illustrate Brokeback Mountain best, and once featured facetiously on the bridge of an oil tanker to shipmates, by a friend once head of Maine Maritime Academy:
"Friends may come, and friends may go, and friends may peter out.
"But you'll be my friend, without a doubt, peter in or peter out."
