Movie Review: Brokeback Mountain
Jun. 25th, 2006 11:43 amI finally saw it last night on DVD with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
quietchris (she has NetFlix). I’m glad I finally got to see it.
I didn’t find it as sad as everyone else said it was, but I think that’s mostly because I’ve seen this kind of relationship in the bisexual community dozens of times and almost feel a certain, well, I don’t know the right word for it. Empathy? Nostalgia? No, neither of those words are right. I guess I look at it as a bit of history, captured for all to see. However, at the same time I realize that this isn’t a historical “past” for many people, it is the present. There are many men I meet at support groups that are in this kind of situation today. Some are happy with it. Others aren’t. It is what it is.
