Brokeback Mountain
A Movie Preview |

Well, I’ll give Ang Lee credit for the varying projects he has
chosen to direct. You may have heard about him around the “Sense and
Sensibility” time, but for most folks, if I say he directed
“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” you would say you saw or heard of
that film. He also directed “Hulk,” so we know he’s sensible,
crouching, huge, and now, well, he’s directing a film that is
catching lots of buzz because, first, it’s supposed to be a great
movie, and second, it’s about two cowboys who, as one of the IMDB
synopsis’ puts it, unexpectedly forge a lifelong connection. That’s
the politically correct version to say that it’s the 1960’s and they
are gay. The trailer shows this fact, why can’t they just say it?
Anyway, the movie is set at a time when being homosexual isn’t
really a lifestyle you can tell your friends and neighbors about, so
our two dudes, Jack (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Ennis (Heath Ledger) go
about keeping their true love secret while living the lives of
hetero’s.
Visually the movie looks great, and I’m sure some will have
problems with the story subject, but in any case, this is sure to
create buzz both because of it being a great movie, but also because
of the topic. You’ll have to make it your own call if you want to
see this one.
That’s it for this preview! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!! |
