oralb Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 hi yishunwhat's unique abt the stroyline is its simplicity. it is a story that could happen to everyone.while the storyline is simple, the mentality of the 2 characters are more complexyou have 1 "gigolo" who fall in love with the client, who sold his body but didnt spend the money, who work as a waiter so that he can safe guard the money.another is a going to be married businessman, who treat this like a one-off relationship, who buried himself inside the marriage so that he can forget about the other guy.

oralb Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Definitely a "must watch" for all PLUs---------------------------------------------------All quiet on the gay western frontNot wanting to give their foes free publicity, right-wing Christiangroups say they won't boycott or picket "Brokeback Mountain."By Scott Lamb, salon.comDec. 07, 2005 | The new celluloid version of C.S. Lewis' "The Lion,the Witch, and the Wardrobe" finally arrives in theaters on Friday,the same day the smaller but also eagerly awaited "Brokeback Mountain"debuts. The two films could hardly be less alike: One is the familyblockbuster of the winter season with heavily marketed Christianovertones; the other is a small love story about two cowboys. And yettheir simultaneous release this weekend could touch off the year'sfirst real box-office culture clash.The Disney/Walden Media version of Lewis' Narnia tale comes with allthe bells and whistles of a crowd-pleaser -- CGI wizardry and epicbattles -- and the studios are hoping, no doubt, that it will becomejust the first installment of a lucrative fantasy series, à la "TheLord of the Rings," but with more episodes (there are seven books in"The Chronicles of Narnia"). In a marketing campaign built on thelessons of "The Passion of the Christ," Narnia has also beenskillfully sold to the Christian audience via special churchscreenings and a plethora of Sunday school teaching materials that tieinto the film, much of it orchestrated by Motive Entertainment, thecompany that helped launch "Passion.""Brokeback Mountain," on the other hand, is a quiet drama made verymuch in the mold of classic American tragic love stories, and has beencompared to everything from "Titanic" -- even the movie posters arepurposefully similar -- to "Gone With the Wind." But while in no waypolitical in itself -- the story sticks close to the characters andthe arc of their relationship -- a film about two cowboys (even onewith the tag line "Love is a force of nature") cannot help findingitself suddenly sucked into a political vortex beyond the filmmaker'scontrol, given the current cultural divide over gay rights. It's afilm that "bucks Hollywood convention" and "explores the lastfrontier," and in a year that has seen a ferocious national debateover same-sex marriage, a taboo-busting movie that brings together tworising young male Hollywood stars locking lips on the big screen isbound to stir controversy.Or you'd at least be forgiven for thinking so. Because it turns outthat there's a concerted effort -- on both sides -- to avoid turning"Brokeback Mountain" into a political battle.Instead of boycotts, picket lines or enraged letters to the editor,conservative Christian groups are hoping to kill the film withsilence. Robert Knight, director of the Culture & Family Institute atConcerned Women for America, says his group has made a consciousdecision not to campaign against the film. "People aren't going towalk around outside theaters with protest signs," Knight says. "Thisis not 'The Last Temptation of Christ,' which was such an affront thatpeople felt they had to respond. This is something that could be andshould be ignored."We've actually discussed whether to do some sort of action," Knightsays. "But the consensus was, why give it that much credit, or whycall attention to it?"Peter Sprigg, vice president of the Family Research Council -- thegroup that a year ago led a campaign against "Kinsey," the biopicabout America's favorite/most-hated sex researcher -- says his groupcame to a similar conclusion. "We talked about whether we should dosomething, but at this point we don't have any plans," says Sprigg."Some of these things, we don't want to draw attention to them. Wewould almost be doing them a favor if we were to mount a big campaign-- we'd be making a martyr out of the movie, so to speak. I don'tthink we want to fall into that."Even Focus on the Family, which on Thursday announced it would stopusing Wells Fargo because of the bank's contributions to the Gay andLesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), has been mum, indicatingthat it would release some sort of statement on the film, but that ithad no campaign planned.What happened to the phone tree and newsletter agitation of yearspast, like the protests that surrounded Ellen's coming out on "Ellen,"or the American Family Association's sustained campaign against "Will& Grace"? Perhaps the Christian right believes there's no such thingas bad press, and the surest method to induce box-office death istotal silence. "Hey, it's about time," says Curtis Mork, a coordinatorat the gay activist group Wyoming Equality in Cheyenne, Wyo. "They'regetting smart. I've always said, the more they complain about us, thestronger we get."Of course, predicting how a film like "Brokeback Mountain" will affectthe national consciousness before it comes out is a dicey game atbest. "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "Passion" (and for that matter, "LastTemptation") came with their controversies pre-packaged, while otherrecent hubbubs (NippleGate, anyone?) seemed to arrive from out of thedeep blue. But that hasn't stopped the cultural conservatives fromdeclaring "Brokeback" a non-issue before the movie is out (or they'veeven having seen it). Conservative radio host and movie critic MichaelMedved says, "When I've spoken to people about it, the generalreaction is bemusement. In other words, 'Look at this, everyone'sexcited about a gay cowboy movie.'" Medved also feels that "Kinsey" --based on a true story rather than fiction -- raised conservative irein a way "Brokeback" can't. "'Kinsey' was an issue, not because of gaycontent, but because it was dealing with a significant historicalfigure. I could be wrong on this, and I acknowledge that I could bewrong, but I just don't see a lot of agitation in the culturalconservative community about 'Brokeback Mountain.'"There may well be a sort of forlorn hope on the part of the movie'sproducers and promoters that conservatives will make a huge issue ofit, and thereby generate a certain amount of box-office heat," headds. "And my very strong guess is that most conservatives will refuseto oblige them."But there may also be a much simpler explanation for the right'shands-off approach to the film. "Imagine protesting 'Titanic' or 'GoneWith the Wind,' " says Dave DeCicco, communications director at theGay and Lesbian Victory Fund. "It's a really bad idea, because you'regoing to have broad appeal with the movie. One of the things people inthis country enjoy is a love story. The right-wing lunatics are maybesmart enough to back off."Damon Romine, entertainment media director for GLAAD, points out thatcritics are already "overwhelmingly embracing" the movie, and that acampaign against it might ultimately backfire. "If people think thatpublicly attacking this film is a good use of their time, it says farmore about them and their agenda than it does about 'BrokebackMountain.'""At its most basic level, this is a story about relationships," hesays. "The love that these characters experience in many waystranscends categories of gay and straight; this is a universal lovestory."The focus on the movie's love story has been central to the planningof the movie from the very beginning. According to Newsweek, themovie's producer, James Schamus, told director Ang Lee early on thatthe film would be marketed directly to one audience. "Yes, of course,"said Lee, "the gay audience." No," Schamus replied, "women."Schamus says he, too, hasn't heard rumors of a brewing outcry againstthe movie. "We're not really getting a sense there's much to talkabout on that front, or that there ever will be," he told Salon bye-mail. He has previously made it clear he's not interested in takingon people who object to the film's content. "If you have a problemwith the subject matter, that's your problem, not mine," Schamus toldNewsweek. "It would be great if you got over your problem, but I'm notsitting here trying to figure out how to help you with it."They may be backing off from a coordinated attack, but when pressed,they certainly can't hide their disdain for it. "I don't think it'sgoing to be another 'Philadelphia,' because it's one thing to garnersympathy for a man dying of AIDS; it's another to tell America thatthey should accept two cowboys lusting after each other," says theCulture & Family Institute's Knight. He also brushes off the potentialeffect of an Oscar nomination or win -- which helped catapult"Philadelphia" into mainstream consciousness -- by citing a canardabout the failure of Oliver Stone's biopic on Alexander the Great. "Idon't think it will matter. I mean, look, 'Alexander' was doomed whenword got around that it had a bisexual aspect to it. People don't wantto see that. They don't want to see two guys going at it. It's thatsimple."While Stone was among those blaming the rumors of bisexuality for hisfilm's dismal box-office showing, it has to be said that the criticalreaction to "Alexander" was almost universally negative, a fact thatprobably had more to do with its financial failure than did its hero'simplied bisexuality. "Brokeback," on the other hand, was generatingOscar buzz as soon as it premiered, and Heath Ledger is alreadyheavily favored for a best actor nomination.Oddly, there's more outrage over the perceived damage the film will doto the hallowed masculine image of cowboys. A story about the movie inthe Casper (Wyoming) Star-Tribune -- cited by Matt Drudge -- quoteslifelong resident and playwright Sandy Dixon as saying she doesn'tknow a single gay cowboy: "There's nothing better than plain oldcowboys and the plain old history without embellishing it to suiteveryone." Or, as Knight puts it: "A cowboy who's lusting after hisbuddy isn't fit to wear cowboy boots." (Curtis Monk, who leads anAIDS-awareness program and also coordinates events for WyomingEquality, tends to disagree. "I alone personally know 15 gay cowboyswho come to our dances.")But Knight is really fired up about the affront to the ghosts ofwesterns past: "I think this shows that Hollywood can pervertanything. Part of the enduring appeal of westerns is the display ofbrotherhood, unhindered by sexualization. You often hear the phrase'to be a straight-shooter.' That means to speak plain truths and walkeasily amid the natural bonds of affection, without the distraction ofmisplaced sexual urges. In other words, the audience can relax. Theirhero is not going to get weird on them."The western was a morality tale, so to make immorality the heart ofthis western is to violate the code of westerns. That's why it's notgoing to work."Lee, talking to the Hollywood Reporter, has actually insisted themovie is "not a Western. No gunslingers. I don't want to undermine thesanctified image of the American Western man. It's a love story ofreal people in the West."There's also more than a slight tinge of boosterism going on here, inthe face of "Brokeback" opening against "The Lion, the Witch, and theWardrobe." Knight links box-office success with moral authority. "Youknow, that's going to be quite a contrast," he says. "You're going tohave a roll-out of a film that's going to be a blockbuster, and itreflects basic Christian values, going up against a limited release ofa movie that mocks traditional morality. And I'll betcha I know whichone is going to win."I think Ang Lee is off his rocker if he thinks he can have the samecommercial success with two cowboys instead of a cowboy and a cowgirl,as other movies do."The comparison, though, is deeply flawed. "Narnia," with its $150million budget and months-long P.R. campaign behind it, is a biggermovie opening on a much greater scale (more than 3,000 screens)."Brokeback," with a budget of $13 million, is technically consideredan independent film, and will open on only five screens, according toBoxOfficeMojo.com.But still, the Narnia phenomenon may be in part responsible for thegeneral silence on "Brokeback" by siphoning off a lot of effort thatmight otherwise have gone into a campaign. Sprigg cites Ted Baehr,chairman of the Christian Film and Television Commission and publisherof the Christian magazine Movieguide, who has called for a differentapproach to influencing pop culture. "The idea is that rather than anegative response of boycotts and picketing and things like that, toencourage a positive response to movies that portray positive values,"Sprigg says. "And particularly, I've seen articles encouraging peopleto go see some of these positive movies on the first weekend becausethe first weekend box office has a lot of influence on how the film isreceived overall. I think that may be more of a growing response."That's certainly going to be the response with "The Lion, the Witch,and the Wardrobe," with many churches purchasing group tickets inadvance and planning bus trips to theaters.No matter how it does at the box office, neither the film's producersnor its detractors on the right get to ultimately decide how"Brokeback Mountain" will play out in the culture, whether it will bea defining moment, the way "Ellen" was in 1997, or just the butt ofmore "South Park" jokes. (Cartman once defined independent movies as"those black-and-white hippie movies. They're always about gay cowboyseating pudding.") But even Knight admits there's a chance the filmwill be the big event of the weekend."Maybe after years of MTV shoving sexual license in kids' facesthere's a whole new generation ready for two cowboys going after eachother instead of the cowgirl," says Knight, "but I hope not."-- By Scott Lamb Quote When I Think It, I Do It, I Win It!

Guest Ver Uncle Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Ahem,,I've seen the show. It's beautifully shot and good. From the reviews I thought it's a show about 2 straight lonely men doing no more than jacking each other off for sexual relief and the emphasis is on their platonic straight friendship.Even though the sex part in the tent was fast and over in a moment. I think the straights may not have any idea what that involved because not much nudity was shown.Make no mistake about it, they really do know rough gay sex. From the moment I saw the 2 men, my gaydar immediately guessed who's top and who's bottom. Enis with the deep voice, brooding moods and husky built should be the top, Jack with the pretty blue eyes and pretty face should be the bottom. Like any nosy fag, I was waiting for the sex scene for confirmation.In the tent, they wrestled and Jack was the sexually proactive one. Enis was the hesistant one. But when the hormones got the better of him, he ripped off Jack's pants and the very brief view of Jack's very white bottom said it all. Though it was not shown, the thought of Enis pounding Jack's ass got me hot because I had that kind of experience before Straights without the experiences wil probably think of the scene as being only symbolic of sex and thought no more of it.

This is a wrong error to thing that this behavior is right because we will never be able to break natural laws without undergo the consequence.I am surprised that there are still people who believe that homosexuality is a mental illness as in ancient times. Many open societies has studied and accepted that its not a mental illness. However, I agree with you that it will not lead to another life. And, maybe that God's way of controlling the population in this world, instead of having to introduce more wars, pestilence and diseases to wipe out part of it.Yes, I agree with you, homosexuality could indeed be a mental illness for some. They are so obsessed with gay sex, even though they are not gay to start with. However, as for others, it's not a matter of choice. They are only attracted to men and allergic to women. Forcing these gay men to get married and have babies will only lead to dysfunctional society. And remember, these gay men have need for intimacy just as you straight guys do.So, what is the consequence of breaking this natural law? You don't produce an offspring. And, maybe that will eventually exterminate the gay population. Sometimes, a society is dysfunctional because it's too rigid. In societies where homosexuality is widely accepted, they have never become dysfunctional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Why, in the nature, there are no gay animals?Don't mind Tony, he is just an ignorant closet homosexual playing devil's advocate. Everyone know homosexuality exists in the animal kingdom.Google "animal homosexuality" and a million pages will prove that to you. This fact is now so common knowledge that it is an accepted fact that gays are born that way.An extremely detailed book, "Biological Exuberance : Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity" by Bruce Bagemihl, documented as much as 450 species of animals engaging in sustained and occasional homosexual pairings. I am sure most of us have read about the gay penguins in New York Central Park Zoo.A review from from Publishers Weekly about this book:A brilliant and important exercise in exposing the limitations of received opinion, this book presents to the lay reader and specialist alike an exhaustively argued case that animals have multiple shades of sexual orientation. The book is broken into two sections, the second containing species "portraits" detailing recorded homosexual/transgendered behaviors. The main portion of the book sets out to reveal and, indeed, revel in the documented evidence to date that some 450 species engage in both sustained and occasional "gay," "lesbian" and transgendered pairing, parenting and play. Animals (both heterosexual and homosexual) also rape and divorce, commit "child" abuse and infidelity and can be lifelong celibates. Human claims to uniqueness in this arena are shown to be increasingly difficult to maintain. The overall effect is to detonate the myth that animals are solely driven by heterosexual reproductive urges, as Bagemihl, a biologist, amasses evidence with case study after case study of species ranging from whiptail lizards to bottlenose dolphins, flamingoes, vampire bats and giraffes. But his book offers more than a zoological laundry list. Biologists who have long classified these behaviors as taking place only in "abnormal" conditions or as "pseudo-copulation," "mistakes," "practicing" and domineering sexual bullying are frequently shown to be willfully ignoring behavior that does not reflect their own worldview or accepted scientific thought. What might so easily have turned into a tub-thumping activist tract hitched to the need for acceptance of homosexuality among humans is instead elevated to a hugely inclusive, celebratory biological interpretation of the world. Bagemihl convincingly overturns previous inviolable "truths" that scarcity and functionality are the prime agents of biological change, and advances instead the idea that abundance and extravagance?"biological exuberance"?are just as crucial to the mosaic of life. So what do you have to say Tony? Come on, be true to yourself. You don't know why but you like to see naked men don't ya? Sure you do. That's why you went to see Brokeback Mountain right? :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Though emotions and urges were real but that does not means it is right or good. The need for love and affections are just shadows of our deeper longings that we may not even realised. Everyone who loves must pay the price for even God who love us paid the price. Everything is permissible but not all things are beneficial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like that is where you are coming from or perhaps some loony bin. > Everything is permissible but not all things are beneficial.Did you get this from some fortune cookie written by a twelve-year old?

Guest Guest_rusty Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 This movie is totaly sick. :yuk: Homosexuality is noting more than a mental illness that can be cured. Accepting count-nature behavior will lead up to a disfunctional society. Why, in the nature, there are no gay animals? Because homosexuality canot lead to life but to extermination by itself. This is a wrong error to thing that this behavior is right because we will never be able to break natural laws without undergo the consequence. actually,there ARE gay animals in nature.you can find them if you sit long enough watching animal planetsand discovery.also,nature books do write about them.but then of course,being such an ignorant and myopic nincompoop (do you even know what that means?)as you are, perhaps you will think the scientists (probably gay too!) make them up.wat matters more,is that underneath the gender,lie two souls that are in love.learn to see beyond,tony.

Guest Guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 The Korean box-office hit "King and The Clown" will show in Singapore from June 22nd, based on a triangular gay love story. It has been called the "Brokeback Mountain" of Korea.It's the story of two clowns, Kong-gil (Lee Joon-ki) and Jang-seng (Kam Woo-sung), living in the Chosun Dynasty (16th century), condemned to death by the King for their satirical plays, unless they succeed to make him laugh. After their first success, they are allowed to stay in the palace and to stage new plays for the King, who starts to develop a strong attraction to the androgynous Kong-gil.Can check trailer at King and The Clown. :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steman Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 ... the Korean gay film is starting tomorrow in our cinemas. Well just caught the film last night but really think it was just a slightly average show with the ocassional comedy in it. The story plots ard the 2 main actors and I thought they seemed like loving each other but did not express it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest C.R.A.Z.Y Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Another "gay theme" movie which is showing the cinema and should not be missed is C.R.A.Z.Y. The movie is about the "growing-up" of a gay boy -- Zac. Nice songs and music in the movie too.It's a story of two love affairs. A father's love for his five sons. And one son's love for his father, a love so strong it compels him to live a lie. That son is Zac Beaulieu, born on the 25th of December 1960, different from all his brothers, but desperate to fit in. During the next 20 years, life takes Zac on a surprising and unexpected journey that ultimately leads him to accept his true nature -- being gay! and, even more importantly, leads his father to love him for who he really is. A mystical fable about a modern-day Christ-like figure, "C.R.A.Z.Y" exudes the beauty, the poetry and the madness of the human spirit in all its contradictions.

GaoGaoZhu Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 I like him because he is very versatile and is willingly to try different roles. Some stars will try to protect their image and avoid certain characters. He is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
