Brokeback Mountain
Jan. 10th, 2006 10:04 pmOkay, next up, Brokeback Mountain. Since this is long, and disturbingly earnest and thoughtful rather than entertaining, I threw in lj-cuts for easy navigation and skimming. I'm particularly interested in your audience's reactions and/or opinions on audience reactions . . . so if you have input, skip to the last part.
SPOILERS contained herein:
( Disturbing Earnestness: In which I try to explain the meaning of the movie to myself. )
( Criticism: In which I talk about what I disliked about the movie--the pacing. )
( Audience Reactions: In which I try to figure out why the hell a man finding himself and a woman losing everything is funny. )
