Brokeback Mountain

Last night i watched Brokeback Moutain for the first time :D

I didn't know what to think of it beforehand to be honest coz i've not really heard much about it before. I knew what it was about but not much else.

I really enjoyed it tho, i thought it was great, i can see how it won so many awards.
Jake Gyllenhaal and the late, great Heath Ledger were superb.

I wanna talk more about what happened lol, but obviously there will be people reading this who haven't seen it before, so to those people i do recommend the film.

I was reminded of the film a few days ago by somebody and then i said to myself "Oh yeh, i still havent seen that"
So i proceeded to download the film off Rapidshare (forgive me) but then i remembered my mum came in with a copy once she got from a charity shop, asked if anyone was interested to which everybody politely refused :P

This was ages ago but i wondered if she kept it or not and voila, it was there, in the depths of the DVD collection downstairs.
Had to do some digging around to get to it.
Made sure i returned it properly.

Something quite strange happened today tho.
Me, my mum, dad and uncle were all in the living room waiting for the Liverpool game to come on and dad was flicking through the tv schedule and said to my uncle "There's something you can watch when you get back home"

I looked up to see it was Brokeback Mountain he was talking about, coincidence or what? :P

So my uncle just laughed and then that made my mum bring up when she brought the DVD home from the charity shop. (Strange or what?)
And she said, "I havent watched it, has anybody?"
My uncle said tht he knew my brother had. Dunno how he knows that one, but from my knowledge, my brother has never watched it.
My dad said he never has any intention to watch it.
Then attention turns to me....
So i said that i've watched it before :P
Didn't say when tho but it is quite strange that the topic of Brokeback Mountain should come up less than a day after ive watched it.

My dad gave me a strange look and, with a slight grin, i asked him if there was a problem, he just turned away and said no....

Mum and my uncle didn't say anything but my mum said something during the football which made me think i might have got my impressions about her wrong....

At some point, like during most football matches, two players went in for a tackle and ended up tangled together.
Commentator said something then my dad said, "I'm sure he doesn't want his butt in his face"
My mum said "Not unless they're a couple of gay boys"

....

:(

Maybe i do have my mum figured out wrong....
Maybe this was just a one-off comment....

I dunno but it definetely put me on a downer.

At least Liverpool won the game tho and are through to the semis :)


But back to the actual topic of the post.
If you haven't seen the movie, i think you should check it out, regardless of whether you are gay or not coz the whole movie isn't just about gay cowboys :P
It's a love story, and of course, with love stories, there are always difficulties and this is no exception.
So yeh, go give it a watch if you can.
I'll post the trailer below too :)


Love you guys,
