Article I told you about, part of a TFF review in EW.
"Take Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain, a big, sweeping, and rapturous Hollywood love story that would turn out to be the most revolutionary movie of the year. It's adapted from Annie Proulx's 1997 short story about a ranch hand and a failed rodeo rider, played by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, who meet in the Wyoming wilderness in 1963 and fall into a love affair that last, in secret, through frayed marriages and broken dreams, over the next 20 years. At the festival, Brokeback Mountain was referred to as the "gay cowboy" movie, yet to see it through those words is to violate its tender, unprecedented spirit. Gyllenhaal and Ledger, in a performance of gnarled taciturn and brilliance, are latter-day Marlboro Men who experience their deep affection as something inexplicable and wounding, a force they scarcely have words for. Brokeback Mountain is a film in which love feels almost as if it were being invested, yet at a moment when issues of equality in gay and straight relationships have become fuel for a fiery culture war, it is also the rare crowd-pleaser with the potential to change hearts and minds."
So should we NOT call it gay cowboy month anymore? Cause it's just too much fun!
I've read about a million different articles and rants all essentially saying "Don't call it a gay cowboy movie, you evil spawn of Satan! It is a deep and moving romantic drama!!"
I've ignored all of them if I want to. They're cowboys, they're gay, and I'm gonna claim the phrase 'gay cowboy movie' for us good guys who are HAPPY about the gay cowboy part. Thankyou and goodnight.
