• Brokeback Mountain…

  I saw Brokeback Mountain yesterday, and yo know what.  I was not
  happy at all.  I was very dissappointed by this movie.

  My man, in Asia, made a fantastic looking film, but I have to say it
  definitely was not worthy of Best Picture.  I have to say, Crash
  was more worth than Brokeback was, and if at all the other movies
  also…

  Man I was mad. I mean that movie was so hyped up and everything and yet
  when I went to this movie I was ready to be blown away.  I was
  ready to watch this movie that was multi-layerd, and super deep. 
  I was ready to have a look at a film that tackled homesexual relations
  in the South in the 60s.  But really it was more a good ol
  fashioned star-crossed lovers, tradgiv love story.

  I was not too happy when I left.  I didn’t shed a tear.  It
  was a very tender and touching relationship, but that was it. 
  There was maybe 5mins on what it is like to be Homosexual in the 60s,
  but that was it.

  Don’t get me wrong, it still is a good movie.  But it was not
  worth all the depth and the arguments, that the movie caused.  And
  it would not have been worth the Oscar.

  Though I have to say, that the sex scene between Jake Gyllenhall, and
  Heath Ledger was done in a very tasteful way.  And it was quite
  passionate and very well done.  I was suprised by that scene in
  some way.  I knew when it was coming, and when it came.  It
  was perfect.  Lee Ang did a great job with that.

  But, I have to way say Hulk, was a film that dealt with Cloning, and
  messing with nature more than Brokeback Mountain dealt with
  homesexuality.

  Out of 10, I give Brokeback a 7.  A great movie, well acted and well shot, but it lacked depth and structure.
