"Brokeback Mountain"- How its effected America.

Punker69
Well since "Brokeback Mountain" has already been a huge success and is promoting the liberal homosexual movement across America by showing the side of homesexuallity one supposedly cant help.

I thought since its fame and the things its already accomplished for its movement it should be discussed in the General Discussion forum to talk about the other aspects of the movie.

I have have not seen the movie but from what I read about the story and various synoposis's I've read I can tell that acting wise and storyline wise it may be quite the movie but it also may very well be good ol fashion homosexual propoganda.

The obvious message the film is trying to convey is that its alright to be a homosexual because the feelings you have cannot be helped and it trys to make people feel sorry for them because their lives are torn apart by a love they supposedly can't prevent.

I am personally against the movie because I am a firm believer that homosexuality is wrong and the movie trys to justify and give glory to something that deserves nothing of the sort. Not only is it just a movie about homosexuality but a very popular one as well already receiving multiple awards and nominations. And we all know its going to reign at the oscars.

One doesn't need to be assured that their feelings towards the same sex are natural and ok but that they can be delivered through the name of Jesus Christ.

Also the film doesnt even depict a positive story about homosexuality. It instead shows a story of two men who have lied and cheated on their wives with someone of the same sex. Not only does this promote homosexualuty but also fornication and both are an abomination to God's word.

Hey, what about if you didn't watch it?

Would that work?

I only mention it because at some point in the future, I might like to watch it. It's very unlikely, but I'd still rather have that option than to have my choices limited by the interference of other people.

we already have several homosexual threads... Why create another one with the purpose of trying to bash gays...

and really have you no thought of your own that your need the bible to tell you whats right and wrong???

So tell me cringe... When you eventually have sex with your wife...(and only after your married.. No hanky panky before!) will you only do it missionary? and only for the sake of having a child? would you accept a blow job if she offered?

This is a thread oriented on the effects of "Brokeback Mountain." Not homosexuals in general. The purpose is solely of that. Not to bash homosexuals. That was just my opinion. You can go against it if you want since thats the effect of having a conversation of something of this nature.

The Bible is an essential guidebook to have a healthy Christian walk with God. Just because I follow what I believe to be right doesn't mean I have no mind of my own. I have debated the topics I believe in time and time again in previous years of my life but have come to the understanding that this is the way I want to live.

Well its a choice lifestyle as depicted in this film however I doubt that is what the intention of the film is.

Love knows no bounds and why hold gender to love or love to cross gender. ........etc synopsis of the film

Nover saw it, not my type of movie, cowboy movie that is.

Punker, your predetermined ideas and thoughts about the movie are extremely wrong, as are most who haven't seen the movie. It's obvious you haven't seen the film.

1. The movie is not any form of propoganda, there is nothing like that about the movie. It doesn't attempt to persuade you into agreeing with a certain ideal.

2. It belongs to no movement. People in the pro-homosexual movement support it and generally like it, thus people think the film itself has some agenda; it doesn't. It just tells a great story, beautifully, and shows the effects that self loathing and self denial can have on a person in an honest and heartbreaking manner. It also shows the how a person can be so brainwashed by a society that they deny something about themselves just because they've been told for their whole lives that "it's wrong". It's hardly a pro-homosexual film. It's just a film about people, it's a theme anyone can relate to - Having something right there in front of you that you know will make you happy, but being to afraid to take a chance with it, and hesitating and procrastinating until it's too late, and that thing that would make you happy is gone.

People have taken this movie way to far by injecting an agenda that isn't even there. People who haven't even seen it make some terribly idioitic assumptions about it based on biased word of mouth from people who are attempting to demonize the film for having homosexual themes and characters and showing them in a non negative light. They themselves probably hate it so because they can't deal with their own feelings after seeing the film. The only thing the film does is humanize two homosexual men, and allows to see their plights and actually understand their feelings.

It's funny, most of the people who prematurely condemn this movie for having an agenda (which again, is incorrect) are usually the ones with the agenda. They're just anti-homosexual and think that any portrayal of homosexualit that isn't demonized to satisfy their own ideas is bad and shouldn't exist. In reality, these are teh people who should see this movie, not because it will change their mind through agenda or propoganda, but it will show them homosexuals in a way they probably have never really seen them as before - as purely, and completely, human.

WrathfulDwarf
It hasn't affected anything in America. Is just flippin friggin movie.

I will agree with you on the fact that fame has play a role. And quite frankly giving more attention to a film like this is just nothing but overrated hype. And yes! I will agree those two good cowboys look like pretty boys who just got off the beauty salon.

The movie is about relationships, not homosexuality. It really is that simple. It's the sensationalist media and ignorant people like you who give it a subtext as 'gay propaganda'.

And P69, you mean "affected" not "effected"

capt seems to be practicing a sort of forum judo...and it seems to be quite effective in that it points out the blatant truth. the only agenda this film has served is that its become a target for the gaybashing bible thumping bigot agenda set by idiot dickface rednecks who have no idea what the hell the movie is about....except there are a couple of gay cowboys.

then they are forced to confront mental images of john wayne bent over screaming "AY PAPI!!!" and then to confront their strange fascination and the special feeling they get in their undersized genetalia....then a violent knee jerk reaction of denial/hate....same as it ever was

Bare back mountain is a gay love story, and its impact is being felt everywhere, including daytime soap operas, now the son of Lily and Holden on As the World Turns, is freakin gay, all other soaps on the other channles had queires, now CBS has jumped on the bandwagon.

its a shame, that America always has to follow a trend.

If this movie sparks the flammer that will ignite a gay revolution, President Bush is going to need a new costume.

We can have movies about violence, gore, blood, genocide, rape, the degradation of women, sexism, racism, stereotypes, pedophilia, mysticism (Harry Potter anyone?), nuclear weapons, guns, female nudity, sexual intimacy, war, and a whole slew of negative paraphenilia but...homosexuality is taboo?

If you think homosexuality is wrong? Fine. That's your opinion. But you'd be a complete hypocrite if you thought that a movie about violence and gore or sexual intimacy is okay.

If you want to ban Brokeback Mountain, then out of your Christian faith please get ready to ban every other movie in America that has a theme that goes against your religous belief.

Like Harry Potter. After all it's teaching our children to practice witchcraft.

If you don't like the movie. Don't see it.

And don't cherry-pick your values. roll eyes (sarcastic)

I don't know which is more disturbing. The fact that your brain activity is on par with six-year coma patient or the fact that you know the names of two characters on a specific daytime soap opera.

I may go with the latter....

And for heaven's sake. It's ONE movie. Y'all act like it's trendier than the Pokemon craze in the 90s. There is no trend. Gay movies have existed since cinema began. Just as many stupid people were angry about the success of the BirdCage.

Only if its what the movie is about or the main point of the flick. When the Rock played a fruitcake bodyguard in Be Cool that was ok, because he wasn't the main character and more importantly he wasn't the focus of the movie. Plus, Be Cool was a slap-stick comedy and not a friggin' love story about 2 dudes. Everybody knows that the Rock aint gay and that role wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

As for those other things you mentioned, such as blood, guns, drugs, and naked b!tches---yes they're ok.

Talk about hypocrisy.

Things that are harmful to others in real life are okay, but something that effects no one but those involved....isn't.

Anyone fail to see the logic there?

Really this is insane, if you don't want to watch the movie don't. No need to ban it, no need to bash it, especially if you haven't even seen the movie... And you don't like the movie because it goes against your christian believes? When is the last time you tried to stop a movie with violence in it, nudity, sex or many other things?

What the ****?

Christians are such ****ing hypocrites, you do things that the bible clearly states is wrong and you could not give tiny little rat's ass but the moment something that you are against makes it to the big screen you start saying how it's an abomination in god's eyes.

How long till these ****ers start quoting the bible?

Oh and by the way, you better hide the gay-agenda is finally coming together, we'll conquer the world in no time.

Just don't watch the ****ing movie you mindless redneck.

Yup I reread with Black and that does kinda scare me now lolsmile Thanks PVS that certainly was a perspective I didn't have previously.

However still my past experience with Koala is alot of angersmile

Yeah now BBM isn't that big a deal on "society" really I would have figured that the religious right would have complained more about them cheating on wives then bleating on about homosexuality.

I don't know if I believe this is going to be the case. I might be wrong, but I think I might consider it more of an insult if this movie sweeps the Oscars. Considering how often the Oscars end up going to people with mental conditions because of the characters underdog nature. And if hollywood is going to indirectly equate homosexuality with the character in Rainman, then I think they should just keep their statue.

my point is, and this goes for what koala wrote, being gay is not right, now where in the bible does it say so, and GOD destroyed Soddom and Gamora for being this among other things. and we are not primitive, because we don't agree with homosexuality.
That statement right there is stupid, and probably from a gay person themselves, i'm not saying kill gays or anything, because koala is right, Jesus said love one another as I have loved you, and I would never do anything to a person because he or she was gay, but don't ever twist those words like that, when you do it is blasphemey. Being gay isn't a lifestyle or you were born like that, you yourself, chose to be that way, chose to like men or women, GOD didn't make adam and steve, HE made adam and eve.

and this is for lana, yes maybe guys like women on women, but it doesn't make us right, and we are hypocrites when we openly admit we don't like gays, but thats our right, just like it's our right to admit we're hypocrites.

This will be the last post i make in this thread, if you dont like what i've said, pm me or don't do anything at all.

Someone missed the sheer and utter sarcasm in my post. I was simply pointing out your idiocy in acting like it's something new that's only popped up recently when in fact, it's always been there.

And what, because I'm a mod I'm not allowed to have an opinion anymore? Guess what, doesn't work like that. All of the other mods on here are just as opinionated as I am about things - some even more so - so you've no place in calling me out for that, unless you want to call EVERYONE out.

And why is something bad simply because the bible says so? Not everyone reads the bible. Or follows Christianity. Or is religious at all. Or takes everything in it literally. Because yes, I know plenty of people who are Christian who believe that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality, that gays should be allowed to have the same rights as straight people, and that it is not their business to interfere in lives that don't want their interference, and have nothing to do with them.

Newsflash: It's not your place to decide who is a true Christian or not. I'd say they are more than the bible-thumpers because they actually pay attention to that little line in the bible that says "judge not lest ye be judged". Or that bit, "love thy neighbor"?




Which is why they're not allowed to marry, not allowed many of the same legal rights as straight couples, and face discrimination from many people for no reason at all.

Yep, that's real equal alright.

If I see you walking towards a pit of poisonous snakes and I say...

"STOP it's wrong to go in that direction"

How am I judging you? confused

Judging means that one is putting themselves in a position of authority over someone else. I've done no such thing. There's a difference between "correction" and "judgement."

Anyone who states that "homosexuality is okay" is not a Christian. Why? Because "God's word" states that it is not okay.

If one doesn't believe in "God's word" as representing "truth", then that individual is not a Christian. Simple as that.

I have have not seen the movie but from what I read about the story and various synoposis's I've read I can tell that acting wise and storyline wise it may be quite the movie but it also may very well be good ol fashion homosexual propoganda.

The obvious message the film is trying to convey is that its alright to be a homosexual because the feelings you have cannot be helped and it trys to make people feel sorry for them because their lives are torn apart by a love they supposedly can't prevent.

I am personally against the movie because I am a firm believer that homosexuality is wrong and the movie trys to justify and give glory to something that deserves nothing of the sort. Not only is it just a movie about homosexuality but a very popular one as well already receiving multiple awards and nominations. And we all know its going to reign at the oscars.

One doesn't need to be assured that their feelings towards the same sex are natural and ok but that they can be delivered through the name of Jesus Christ.

Also the film doesnt even depict a positive story about homosexuality. It instead shows a story of two men who have lied and cheated on their wives with someone of the same sex. Not only does this promote homosexualuty but also fornication and both are an abomination to God's word.

Since yo uhaven't seen the movie it's probably not wise to comment on it. Don't rely on reviews, go see it. Then discuss what it means.
Good ol' homosexual propaganda? You act like there is a precedent. Since when has there been homosexual propoganda? Using your logic we could say that every movie with a male and female character forming a sexual and caring relationship is heterosexual propoganda. I'm sorry sir but you sound like a homophobe just trying to bash this movie, that for some reason scares the sh*t out of you.

I haven't seen this movie either though so I'm not going to say what I think of the movies contents but I will say that America is going to have to deal with homosexuality one way or another and this movie may help to get that point across.

You're not going to be able to stop people from doing this, short of genocide and I don't think you want to even think of doing something like that. No sir, you sure don't want to try that.

You act like every single person is going to turn gay. You know what? why do you care about daytime television, or television at all? Of course television is going to take this homosexual idea and run with it. That's what the media does. You can always turn the tv off or watch something worthwhile like a decent documentary. If you are confident in your own sexual identity, gay people shouldn't bother you so much. Are you confident in your sexuality? If so than why do other peoples ideas of sexuality and love threaten you?

The same book of the Bible that condemns homosexuality also states that:

One is not allowed to eat shellfish (Leviticus 11:10).

One is not allowed to plant two different crops in the same field or wear clothes made with two different kinds of thread (Leviticus 19:19).

One is not allowed to have any contact with a woman while she is menstruating (Leviticus 15:19-24).

One is not allowed to cut his hair (Leviticus 19:27).

One is not allowed to approach the altar of God if he does not have perfect vision (Leviticus 21:20).

One is allowed to keep slaves so long as they are purchased from foreign nations (Leviticus 25:44).

I find it funny that a movie...That was created in Hollywood...Gets so much publicity (good or bad)...That is what makes this film so great

I remember watching it at an Independent film theater, I found that there was straight, old couples, gay couples, gay friends (groups)..boyfriend and girlfriend

hahaha, Just is funny that people bring religion into this, because this movie (or story) was set in the 60s...when homosexuality was frowned upon to where in medical sciences it was classified as an mental disorder.

I personally thought this movie was awesome, This movie isn't like what people say it is (Mainly these people haven't even seen it) You should go watch it, It is an wonderful story!

Punker, your predetermined ideas and thoughts about the movie are extremely wrong, as are most who haven't seen the movie. It's obvious you haven't seen the film.

1. The movie is not any form of propoganda, there is nothing like that about the movie. It doesn't attempt to persuade you into agreeing with a certain ideal.

2. It belongs to no movement. People in the pro-homosexual movement support it and generally like it, thus people think the film itself has some agenda; it doesn't. It just tells a great story, beautifully, and shows the effects that self loathing and self denial can have on a person in an honest and heartbreaking manner. It also shows the how a person can be so brainwashed by a society that they deny something about themselves just because they've been told for their whole lives that "it's wrong". It's hardly a pro-homosexual film. It's just a film about people, it's a theme anyone can relate to - Having something right there in front of you that you know will make you happy, but being to afraid to take a chance with it, and hesitating and procrastinating until it's too late, and that thing that would make you happy is gone.

People have taken this movie way to far by injecting an agenda that isn't even there. People who haven't even seen it make some terribly idioitic assumptions about it based on biased word of mouth from people who are attempting to demonize the film for having homosexual themes and characters and showing them in a non negative light. They themselves probably hate it so because they can't deal with their own feelings after seeing the film. The only thing the film does is humanize two homosexual men, and allows to see their plights and actually understand their feelings.

It's funny, most of the people who prematurely condemn this movie for having an agenda (which again, is incorrect) are usually the ones with the agenda. They're just anti-homosexual and think that any portrayal of homosexualit that isn't demonized to satisfy their own ideas is bad and shouldn't exist. In reality, these are teh people who should see this movie, not because it will change their mind through agenda or propoganda, but it will show them homosexuals in a way they probably have never really seen them as before - as purely, and completely, human.
I agree 100%

I don't necessarily care much about homosexuality and it's role in society, but I hate people who judge a book by its cover. I know plenty of gay people who are devout Christians, and I myself have never seen any part of the Bible in which they say that being gay is wrong (if there is one, please post it for future reference by people). And I'm not siding with the homosexuals because I'm gay or I'm not Christian, but because I was always taught not to judge people and not to go around saying that people should burn in the depths of hell for their sins. And I doubt any of you actually follow God's teachings to the letter. Most likely, each of you has committed sins at least 3 times so far in your life, because it is human nature to test the limits of rules and laws, which is why we are so tempted to do that which is outlawed or is taboo in normal society, such as swearing, killing, and premature ejaculation, all very common acts in America and other parts of the world (although it's mainly in America, which is why I hate living there).

If I have gotten any of those parts that refer to the Bible wrong, don't yell at me. I'm agnostic, so I don't know too much about many religions.

As for my view on "Brokeback Mountain", I believe that if you want to watch the movie and criticize its story to the point where you make it seem like it's convincing us to become a completely homosexual race, go ahead. If you want to not watch it because you've heard tales such as this about it, go ahead with that, too. I didn't go watch it because I had much better things to do than go to the theatre and watch a movie I probably wouldn't have been interested in, like wasting my life on these forums.

Peace out,

Well, it's different because the actors in BBM are both straight.

Plus, if Heath Ledger wins best actor, it's not just because he played a gay man, it's because his acting job in the film is outstanding (which is was). His portrayal of a man so full of self loathing and denial, who has so much going on underneath the surface, was amazing, gay or not.

Now, I would argue that Dustin Hoffman got the Oscar cause he is a brilliant Actor who played a brilliant role in a brilliant movie.....

I agree with you that someone shouldn't get an oscar for political reasons....but just because the actor might get an oscar doesn't mean he gets it cause he played a gay men....although some people would argue that Denzel Washington was better than Tom Hanks in Philadelphia....another point.....

Why is a greater single straight male to single straight female ratio, a bad thing? Why do you want OTHER men to sleep with women when they will willingly choose other men? What's wrong with you all?

This movie, as im sure previously mentioned is about relationships and love, not about homosexuality.

The same movie would work if the story was in the deep south, early 1960s where a black man fell in lvoe with a white woman, or vice versa, and the pain and suffering they would go through.

But anyway...

To think that there would not be homophobia if there was no religion is very simple and untrue. People ''other'' people all the time.

The only way for certain hetrosexuals to feel normal is if they ''other'' people who are not like them.
''So gays are bad, and horrible people, and because i am not gay, i am ok'' is the attitude.

Besides, word hetrosexuality was only invented after homosexuality. People couldn't handle not having to compare homosexuality with something ''normal''

I watched this movie, and loved every minute of it.

Sure, the two cheated on their wives, and lied to them, but men cheat on their wives all the time. Just because these two were gay doesn't make it any worse.

Besides, Ennis's wife knew he was having an affair with another man, yet she still stayed with him, and slept with him. She chose to stay.

I don't know why people get so hyped up over a movie about gay people. So bloody what? Just because you think it might be wrong to be gay, and to 'promote' homosexuality, doesn't mean that we all have to abide by what you want...I don't think the movie promoted homosexuality at all. It's about time a few movies about gay people were made, I'm sick of movies with girls and guys screwing, that really turns me off.

Right, I'm aware. But the point of this thread is to bash the supposed "homosexual agenda" that Brokeback Mountain was apparently forwarding. And I could have told you that it wasn't going to "reign" at the oscars. Phillip Seymore Hoffman is a far better actor than Heath Ledger will ever be. And that is what I was addressing several posts back, that if the Academy wanted to give the major awards to Brokeback simply because it was part of the gay "agenda", then they should keep their Oscar. As it is, the people who touted this as the year of Brokeback Mountain were wrong, and paranoid for no reason.

What's the definition of "darker," then? If a man sleeps with his sisters in a film, no one dies, but that sure as hell could be considered a dark theme.

Maybe instead of "darker," the word you're looking for is "fatal" or "deadly."

So tell me cringe... When you eventually have sex with your wife...(and only after your married.. No hanky panky before!) will you only do it missionary? and only for the sake of having a child? would you accept a blow job if she offered?

See this is what I don't understand by pro homosexual groups or liberals. Why is it that when someone says they think its wrong and says that the Bible denounces it, its gay bashing. It's like Bush saying to the people who don't support HIS war, they are anti-patriotic.
Listen it SAYS in the Bible, old Testament that Sodom and Gomor was destroyed because of their numerous inequities including homesexuality which is a pervasion. I mean this is a behavior that is counterproductive of the natural order of things. It doesn't make sense, it just doesn't and tolerance and understand is another issue. The fact that we condem people who have sex with consenting underage kids or murder that is justified, we still punish them. Why are caressing these people and telling them its fine and do whatever you want? Wrong is wrong and somethings are not subjective, its what it is.

You had better watch what you say. A bunch of murderers may file a class-action lawsuit against you for mental anguish.

The movie is about relationships, not homosexuality. It really is that simple. It's the sensationalist media and ignorant people like you who give it a subtext as 'gay propaganda'.

Wind your neck in.

lol fair play 2 you! big grin

the bible which you thump demands the murdering of all non-believers.
it condones slavery as well. so i guess we should take every passage literally, right?

if you cant think for yourself and have to take everything at face value, then burn your bible. or i guess you can go on allowing every nuance of every passage in an ancient book of stories to dictate your very sense of right and wrong. but dont claim it to be objective. thats frikin obnoxious

and the sodom and gomorra thing is waaay vauge. the specifics of their perversions are things filled in by interpreters. In fact sodomy is defined as a sexual crime against god, whatever that may mean.

Apart from the butchery of my quote... You have obviously not read, or took the time to understand the message of the bible... Now there are 2 reasons why the bible is flawed in my eyes...

1) The time... The bible was written during times where slavery and sexism were a way of life... In this time we don't condone these actions...

2) Not written by God, Also written several years after events... The 4 that wrote it won't have remembered the facts exactly, (and have been shown that they wrote there gospal on what the others have wrote...) This leads me to believe that there were probably mistakes made...

Now either Accept the bible 100% and get slaves, Sell your daughters, Preach sexism, Hate gays and none believers, Don't work on sundays, Burn offerings to god.......Etc...... Or accept that the bible at its "core"... has a good message, But its wrong on other areas... Including Gays... Which you should show tolerance to seeing as they are your fellow man...

I agree wit'chu, homes. People take the bible far too literally when its full of metaphors and hidden meanings. Times and technology change, so its important for religion to do so as well.

I know some Jews and a couple Muslims who dont keep kosher because its an obsolete rule, and I understand and agree.

The Bible doesn't say to hate gays.In fact I can give you scriptures on loving your neighbor and to witness to people if you would like. The Bible doesn't promote hate for unbelievers. John 4:7 and 4:8 talks about Christ's love. You'll on numerous occassions during the first four books of the new testament where Jesus loved and witness to unbelievers.

Burn offerings to God? Done work on Sundays? This was all part of the law that God established for Moses and his followers. It is called the old covenant. It was fulfilled when Jesus came to earth. We as believers now are under the New Covenant. Thats why we dont "honor" the sabbath as talked about in the old testament nor do we offer burnt offerings. As mentioned is Hebrews 10:26 Jesus talks about there remaineth no more sacrifice for our sins. This is because when Jesus died on the cross he paid the ultimate sacrifice. Thats why he doesn't except burnt offerings anymore. Actually, half of the 10th chapter is dedicated to Christ being the ultimate sacrifice.

Everything that you refered to just now is in the Old Testament.
There is a New Testament as well. The whole point of Jesus coming down on this dust ball and get killed for us. The point was to say " Listen you guys have being going about my Fathers rules and ways which are out of date. Here is a new way of doing and thinking because that's what he wants now". In the New Testament, Jesus was asked about homosexuality and it is a pervesion. Now if its fine for you so be it, but for them to have Gay Prides day, c'mon. Do you have to flaunt it in my face? So you are gay, fine good luck with that but c'mon, you are influencing the fickle minded and easily persuaded that its fine and its totally cool. This is not a fashion trend and shouldn't be displayed as one

Sodom comes from sodomy which is anal intercourse/penetration.
They were indulging in incest, sodomy, bestiality and every sins possible

And if you'd pull your nose out of your bible, you'd discover two things.

1) It is not the law in the US.
2) Not everyone cares about what it says.

The bible says it's wrong? Big deal. That doesn't mean it is.

Thank you! laughing out loud
Stupid Christians just won't understand we don't care what a two thousand year old book says.

i once used a page from the bible to roll a joint...
i was in a hotel room, ran out of papers, and believe it or not,
many bibles have perfect paper for rolling. i used one of the blank pages, so no sacred word was defiled. but...am i going to hell?
