ive never cried in a movie before, ever! and ive seen some pretty sad stuff but i just broke down at the end of this - it was so beautiful, the fact that they loved each other so much right to the end, and when heath ledger opened that cupboard at the end......*sobs*
i think every homophobic should see this movie, everyone thinks its just about two men f*cking on a mountain, but its actually a beautiful love story and i think it would challenge most people's views of homosexuality
I didn't really like it that much. It's extremely over-rated. Well-done, but shallow. It had great cinematograghy, good direction by Ang Lee, and I thought Jake Gyllenhal was excellent. however, Heath Ledger gave a one note performance, and the writing I thought was abysmal. I expected some sort of intelligent insight on how gay people are treated in society today, and instead I got "the Laramie Project on 'roids". The writers didn't even try to say anything worth hearing. They just told us what we already know. It is for me to criticize such well-intended film that has so much talent attached to it. But with the exception of Gyllenhal, everyone underachieved. It's not that they were necessarily bad, but for this film to resonate requires everyone involved to bring their highest level of performance, and no one did. A film of this importance requires our most scrutinizing attention, and our deepest reflection. The only reflection in this film is of the narcississtic writers who are to busy looking at themselves in the mirror, and patting themselves on the back to realize that they were wasting a golden opportunity to tell a story that needed to be told.
But that's just my opinion.

I do hope you are kidding.I saw the movie, like it, but it was very overrated, it wasn't as good as I thought it would be.
Of course NOT! Homosexuality must not be shown in movies! Only heterosexual porn, degradation of women, war, murder, blood, gore, pedophilia, genocide, guns, knives, and torture can be shown in movies. Homosexuality on the other hand is completely unacceptable.

you forgot rape and drugs. Those aren't nearly as bad as two guys...dare I say it, Bieng AFFECTIONATE!! Oh God! The horror!! We don't want our children growing up in a world where they can see two people love each other.

I am horriically offended by this movie. We CANNOT have homosexuality in films. It is sin. Anyone who sees this movie is going STRAIGHT to hell.
It's not like they are supporting homosexuality. BBM is showing the troubles that gay people have to go through in order to maintain secrecy. It's reality. So let me ask you this. Would you rather see 2 guys kissing? or someone getting raped? Movies like this one aren't meant to be decent. They are meant to Show Reality for what it really is.

I saw this last night and I really liked it - I also cried which I tend not to do often.
I think it was good that there was only 1 sex scene and lots of affectionate love type scenes, where they kiss and look at each other in a way many hetrosexual couples are shown in movies.
Im glad this was so, because many people associate homosexuality with sex, and only sex. This is wrong, as gay couples love and feel affection for the other person in the same way hetrosexuals do, and I think this movie showed that really well - it isn't all about sex.
It isn't a movie I would want to see again, because I found it so hard, because its so tragic - it would probably make me cry agian.
(i did like the sex scene though 😮 Jake is hot and Heath is too, getting all hot and bothered, was...well...hot!)

You are a very sick person.
Just because a movie is made about gay people doesn't mean that homosexuality is being promoted, although it should be promoted a hell of alot more. It should be shoved in your faces. Homosexuals should be yelling at you 'We are here, and we are here to stay' so all you homophobes should get used to that.
Christ, no wonder the world is full of homophobic dumb ****s, bashing the shit of others who simply have different preferences. 🙄
