The Beauty That is Brokeback
I posted this on a forum and I just feel like posting it here:

Oh, here's the thread, if you want to read it LINK OF BBM THEREAD ON CF

On to my comment:

Heh, how did I miss this thread, what I am going to say is quite long after reading all the posts...

I watched the movie... quite some time ago but I just watched it again today... It's a great story, and not because it's about two guys doing it with each other, one of them is because I've been a fan of Jake since, like, ... can't remember, and because it is quite a good source to study about the mechanism of desire, lust, and need in the human life. And I suppose about love, too and how love can overlook one's gender.

I found it to be a "beautiful" story. Why? Although it seems really rough from the outside (really rough actually), it's quite delicate once you've understand the flow and the small messages in between the words and the scenes. We're talking about two rough men here, two rough "Malboro" guys, and with them being cowboys just screams "We're real men!", and I get it why the writer of the story chose cowboys for her story. It kinda shows that even the manliest of men cannot fight the force of love, even if it is being in love with someone who's the same gender as them. See what Ang Lee is talking about? He said he made a love story, not some movie about two cowboys buggering each other. If you see beneath the facade of the story, I guess you'll understand what I'm talking about.

Then, the characters, I love both Jack and Ennis, and I understand the "accident" that hapened between them that led them where they are is just about them being desperate men, who're stuck with each other for a period of time and just had to "get off". This accident led them to... love? I'm out of things to say about the movie. And I don't even know what I'm talking about...

In other words, I love it, and you should see despite your sexual preferance. It's a great movie. Sad it didn't bag the Oscar of best movie tho'.

Now, about people being gay...

I agree with Vatinacoel, but I don't encourage ppl to be gay. There's something that the society has not seen which is it's just classification of preferances, if you look at it, both being straight and gay have their own drawbacks and benefits.

And being gay is a choice, not how appealing you find gay sex. It's also some sort of a lifestyle, it's just like being a vegan, or an animal lover, of a nature lover (the extreme ones)

I'm taking a quote from one of my fav fanfictions:

"Being gay is the result of social conditioning, it's a set of characteristics defined by society to account for a biological condition, and the degree to which people feel able to follow this is the ... well, it's how gay they are. With me?"
Snitch! by Al (Harry/Draco)

And also, if you actually read the papers some time, it is discovered someone being gay is some kind of biological result when you're still in the womb, I can't recall the actual words but I remembered it being the mother having too many set of one hormone and it is sorta passed down to the child when it is in the womb.

You don't have to be gay to support gay rights... That's just... stupid actually. As in to convert from being straight to being gay just because you don't mind it....

This is the end of my rant. Yeah. But let me just tell you, I don't encourage them to be one. I get it if it's love, I can't help it if it happens but I'd hate it if you changed because of the sex only. To get gay people is just about understanding really...

And all this is from an observation by a 17-year old Malay girl. Be older and you can get more... Haha...
