I saw Brokeback Mountain tonight.

Yes, you can tell.

It's a very good film, well-shot, well-written, well-acted. All around another extremely well constructed film from the master, Ang Lee.

Who is top?

[monolith94]

Ennis, if top means what I think it means.

[Winston]

"Ennis".

I think you know exactly what it means.

I saw Bareback....errr, I mean Brokeback Mountain on January 2nd...I thought it was a very good movie, though very sad in the end as well...a tear-jerker in my book.

A definate must-see for Gay and Gay-friendly Apolytoners!

It's from McLintock!, a 1963 movie. Maureen O'Hara is the lass taking a lesson.

You mentioned in another thread paintings that took place or look like where you were born.

Why so I did. Which has nothing to do with this thread, nor to do with identifying with the supposed theme, plot or characters of a novel or film.

Thanks for that....

Is it another "oh, those poor misunderstood gay people" movie, or is it deeper?

Which ones did you have in mind ?


It's not like films with accurately depicted gay men or lesbians in are ten a penny.

[Daz]

Actually, when I think about it, there should not be an "another" in my question.

So I rephrase: Is it a "oh, those poor misunderstood gay people" movie" or is it deeper?

can we tell in the sex scenes who is top and who is bottom?

well you got me thinking of a supportive reply, one along the lines of my only being able to read novels by Bellow, Malamud, and Roth. Of course none of even them fit either, for various reasons, generation being one of the largest. But thinking of Malamud, who certainly has many characters I couldnt identify with on these grounds (a baseball player, a professional writer, a Jewish chief of the Nez Perce Indians, etc) I thought of "The Assistant". Not that I could identify with any of its main characters either - a gentile drifter, an aged Jewish shopkeeping couple, and their daughter - the daughter comes closest, though again we have both gender and generation setting us apart. But it DID take place close to my home which made me think of the other thread. And was suggested to me by this thread, so I posted it here.

Are you happy now, Mr Thread Policeman?
