If people took the time to venture out of their mental boxes, they just might learn something and more importantly, learn something about themselves.

As for the movie, it was great and the acting was second to none. It deserves the props it is getting.

So open your minds and go see the movie. You just might like it. :)

Why does one have to be narrow minded because we don't want to see two gay cowboys in love? Not my thing but hardly makes me narrow minded....to me trying to force someone to accept your way of life when you put down theirs is narrow minded.

Brokeback was the silliest movie I have ever been made to watch (by the wife). It has no buisness being up for any awards at all. A couple years ago an actor had to play a retard to win an academy award, now its some poor homo character they have to play to win. Hollywood has lost it. Thats why their movies are all earning like 10 times what they were 4 or 5 years ago. It's Great!!

I thought It was boring boring boring.

Howdy Victor,

I voted for not seeing the movie,because it was about gay cowboys.

In this part of Texas,all the cowboys are redneck Christians or just plain rednecks,who are more than willing,to beat the crap out of gay folks and probably,especially, gay cowboys. We don't take kindly to drugstore cowboys or gay folks who like to dress up as cowboys.

To me,this movie is more of an attack against folks of Faith who believe that homosexuality is a sin,and against Texas and the rest of fly-over country,that liberals love to hate and make fun of.

Have a good one ...

it's not really an attack at anyone, it's just a story, and not a very good one.

I haven't seen it because it looked really slow to me but I'm sure I will when it gets to DVD. Calling it an attack on heterosexuality and Christianity is just silly. Yet another case of Christians being "persecuted" because the whole world doesn't unwaveringly accept their point of view.

Torog can't get his head around the idea of a gay cowboy because he's never met one... that he knows of. I'm pretty sure that's the whole point here, folks.

You are making my point. All you see is a gay cowboy movie. If you have not seen it, how can you reach your conclusions? I know, it's what you heard. See, that's narrow minded.

Howdy lemonboy,

I see the movie as Hollyweird's aiding and abbetting the 'normalization' of homosexuality,by basically saying "See--even cowboys can have homosexual feelings !" I'm simply rendering my personal opinion and analysis,I don't expect anyone to share or accept my views.

I did see gays,dressed up as cowboys,on the strip outside the base in Chicago,I almost messed up and actually talked to one of em,till I realised whom I was dealing with. My company was comprised of rednecks and traditional values folks and we got rid of them in short order,as well as the worst of the prostitutes. . before we did,they had been preying on drunk sailors and marines and no one was doing anything about it,till we came along.

I no longer believe in physical violence towards gay folks,but I will certainly oppose their agenda's.

Have a good one ....

I still refuse to vote, there is a grey area, and I will not conform to your fascism BASERSX
