Brokeback Mountain
I really liked this movie. I liked it the first time I saw it and this time. I feel like its about a lot more than just a love story and that is why I liked it. Its about gay rights and the stigma associated with being a homosexual. I think its great that these issues are addressed in something like a movie because everyone watches movies. What I don't think is great, is people who sit in the movie and moan and groan when a controversial part comes up. In my opinion, if you can't be respectful of other peoples views and lifestyles then leave. I think as college juniors going to school where there are TONS of people who are different and in such a liberal community, we should be at the point where we can be tolerant and respectful in a situation where there may be someone beside you who could be affected by your moans and groans. If you can't be a grown up about your opinions then don't express them in public. As for the adaptation, the director did a good thing by sticking side by side to the story because I don't think it would have had the same meanings and storyline had the director changed even a little bit. I really enjoyed watching and reading this story, I think it's a great movie/story for people to experience, especially with the diversity in the world today.
