Support Brokeback Mountain!!

[walldude]

Hi, I was lucky enough to be the projectionist at the final night of the Denver Film Festival. Ang Lee was there to present his new film Brokeback Mountain. This film contains 2 incredibly brave performances from Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. They play 2 cowboys who spend a summer herding sheep on Brokeback Mountain. While there they fall in love and end up meeting a few times every year on that same mountain. The film is one of the first I have ever seen outside a GLBT film festival to tackle this subject with such open honesty. To be honest I found the movie a bit slow but I am an action/sci-fi junkie so this wasn't really my cup of tea. That said the movie opens this weekend and needs your support. There are probably going to be groups protesting the movie's honest portrayal of gay sex and love and we need to make sure it does some business at the box office so films like this continue to get made. Oh and if you go bring some tissues. It's a 3 hankie flick for sure.
