Before Brokeback Mountain

Someone mentioned me about Brokeback Mountain. He said it is very good movie but I have no idea about this movie before. So I googled it and I found many reviews of this movie. I found that this movie is going to get many Oscar Awards. Moreover, I found that this movie is about two men who have the intimacy relationship. Therefore, I tried to find the review of this movie from the Christians then I found it from Christiananswers.net. I read those review tried to find out what this movie want us to get after seeing it. I found that it is not just the Gay Western movie like this website tried to classify this movie at the first. Thus, I will go to see it tomorrow with my friend, Meaw. I will come to blog about this movie later after I see it.

I like his review.

There are, of course, other themes in the film, like what it means to be a male, and the expectations put on men in our society, but the primary theme is that mentioned above. So, in regards to what is perhaps the most controversial film of the year, I liked it. A lot. It made me think and it made me feel, which is more than most “acceptable” films can say. I’ve heard a lot about the “gay agenda” of this film, from both schools of thought, and all I can say is, try to look deeper. This movie has more important things to talk about than simply, “Gay is good.”

…I myself believe that homosexuality is a sin, however I don’t think that homosexuals are horrible people. They are, like all of us, simply looking for love and human connection. That their search is a bit misguided is not only beside the point, but is, in fact, all the more reason why we should show these people love. If we do that, they will see God, and, if that happens, He’ll take care of the rest. But the initial outreach is our responsibility.
My Ratings: Very Offensive / 4½
