Brokeback Mountain

I watched Brokeback Mountain for the first time even though it has been out for a long time. I was told by other people that I should not watch it because it would make me feel uncomfortable, so I never bothered to watch it. To tell you the truth when I saw we had to watch it for class I thought maybe I just wouldn't watch it and say I did. Well I watched it and I am glad that I did. There were so many aspects of the movie that were great. I loved the camera work and the scenery that was used in the movie. I also loved the story line of the movie and how the actors depicted the fact that homosexuals are not seen as normal. These two guys clearly loved each other and because of what they were taught by their parents and society, they thought that it was wrong and they needed to hide their love. It just makes me think that we as human beings are so driven by what others think that we deprive ourselves happiness to fit into a so called "norm". This film shows this and does so in a way that people can't help but take notice. I hope that someday that all of us can find happiness in being ourselves.
