one of my favorites

this is by far one of my favorite movies of all time. truly one of the most beautifully haunting love stories ever brought to the screen. usually i hate cheesy romances and love stories, but this is nothing of the sort- the actors do a superb job of capturing the conflicting emotions of being in love with someone that society deems unnatural or a crime, and the heart-wrenching angst that they feel is beautifully conveyed through their actions and expressions. i would highly recommend this film to anyone- i can watch it over and over and every time it makes me cry thinking about a) how difficult it was to be a gay man in a small town back in the 60s and how many people suffered because of that, and b) sadly how this is still true for many individuals growing up in closed-minded or strictly religious communities

I fell for it, too

Ok, gay cowboys. I'd heard all the jokes. Still, this one is as good as you've heard. Sure, it gets a little icky here and there. And Jake really does look a little gay. I could barely understand Heath Ledger's cowboy accent, filtered through Aussie. Yet, the story is compelling, and the female stars as the wives are very good, indeed. Watch it. You won't be sorry.

True Lies

I had a feeling I wasn't going to like this movie. I loved the cinematography and I thought Heath Ledger's performance was the most genuine, believable and less restrained out of the two. Jake Gyeggenhal's performance seemed rehearsed and not from the heart. It was the first time I noticed Heath Ledger was a very soulful person, I could tell by his performance. The problem I had with the movie is the characters. They both led double lives and were I'm assuming, "bisexual". I live the gay lifestyle and let me tell you there is nothing worse than a man trying to come off as straight when he is totally gay, especially "cowboys"! They knew what they really wanted, yet they deceived woman in the process and had kids no less. I'm sorry but in my book, that's called BEING PHONY, and is also counter-productive for the gay community. I don't care where they lived or what time this story took place in (the early 60's). They could have moved to New York or West Hollywood, they had resources back then. Don't tell me they didn't know anything about it, that's why the Jack character went all the way down to Mexico to get it. He knew where to get it. It's these type of people who ruin it for REAL homosexuals. they give us a bad name and they confuse everybody in the process. It would have been better if Jack was the true homosexual instead of making them both bisexual. I liked the story of "Boy's Don't Cry" better. At least Hillary Swank's character knew what she wanted and went to no lenths to become a boy to avoid all this confusion and blurred lines of sexuality. In my own oppinion, it's these white cowboys who need to stop playing games and represent. Confused individuals are ironically back in the closet again and it's time for another generation to learn AGAIN how to love themselves and live their authentic lives. It can be no other way. The consequences of deceiving people about your lifestyle have great reprocussions later on in life as this movie demonstrates. Gay people need to be proud of who they are.
