Brokeback Mountain Sucks...But Why?

Well I have my reasons. I mean, you would think that after being nominated for 5 academy awards (Incidentally it won only one of that and I am sooo happy about it) and so much publicity an all, the movie loses its right to suck. I also think the same way, I mean I thought but both of us are WRONG. After the show all these presumptions shattered just like glass on a cement floor (hee hee, forgive me but you have to bear some of these). And really, wtf! I got so many bumps on my ass yesterday from all the buggers whom I dragged for the movie. To tell you the truth, it is still hurting (I mean my ass). Imagine if you are not able to sit on the only thing you would, and yeah that also sucks big time.

Actually the movie started very well. I mean the scenic beauty was really amazing. I was like awestruck at first. The good thing was there were no dialogues for the initial 15 minutes or so and the movie remained beautiful enough. As soon as the dialogues started, I started to give up a little bit. It's not that I don't understand english or I suck big time or something. If I can get everything out of friends and other movies then obviously I m not that bad. But this was something extra-trying-to-impress thingy. May be this has been one of the crucial factors to get some of those bloody nominations. Normally they give these kind of awards to either arbit give-up level movies or to some really cool ones and I wouldn't place this movie in the latter for sure.

I hate movies where you have to use a lot of your already overburdened brain to do the processing of shit to get shit, something out of nothing and that is exactly what happened here. The dialogues were too abstruse for my little peanut to comprehend. Initially I thought that I am the only one having the difficulty (again attributed to my limited exposure to english :D). But then one glance at the faces around me was enough to give me a nice idea of certain things. Movie was anyway slow and then if you can't understand things then that's it, not much can be worse.

I mean you remain up until 2:30 am and then what you get to have is an utterly painful screening. Anyway, was a bad experience and people learn from that only. I also did. You can go watch it if you are interested but the only thing is just because a movie has a controversial topic at its core, that doesn't make it an awardee for academy awards and some fools just don't understand that.

Chalo, enough criticism. I praticularly enjoy these kind of posts where you can shred things to pieces and can satisfy your big ego. You also know it's the easiest thing as far as writing is concerned so you can discount some of the cute suggestions made here and go watch it. May be if we share similar opinions we can talk more about it. And yes, the movie has a couple of 'Scenes' and is rated as 'M21' in Singapore but then they didn't ask anything at the ticket counter. And yeah, I didn't shave for a week to eliminate all the doubts anyway.
