I've heard so many reviews that it was and was not a gay movie! From my perspective, it was. Rob, thanks for that link! I’ve heard so many reviews that it was and was not a gay movie!

It's only like 50 pages, though! Read through it in 20 minutes. And I don't think anything was left out. I could be wrong, though. In fact, it's probably impossible to derive a 2.25-hour movie from a 50-page-book and leave something out. Heh. I read several reviews of the flick before watching it Sunday, and most of them (and my reaction) echoed what you said. This wasn't a gay movie. It was a love story that involved two men. And a great love story at that, too. Anyone should be able to relate to it. (Or at least be touched by it) I hope everyone does. <i>Brokeback's</i> heartbreaking passion is impossible to ignore.
