So I went to see Brokeback Mountain on Saturday with Phil, Mom, and DD. What an amazing movie, it strikes a chord with me as the movie dipicted just how much social injustice plagues the vast majority of rural/small town gay people. In fact, in some respect I believe that the events, and feelings of shame still affect a number of closeted gay people all across the world.

The movie is about the inner struggles two men face in overcoming societal norms and pressures. An inner journey of self realization in which decisions of the past will haunt the two men for the remainder of their lives. My mom stated “Everybody in the world should see this movie” – the world would be a better place.

The tragic love story, ended with applause from the vast majority of the moviegowers in the theatre. I give this epic film a five star rating.
