Uncle Oscar Humped The Mountain Till Its Back Broke

Title courtesy of Qing

Y'all, fans of Brokeback, congratulations~

It's amusing to know that so many of my friends love Brokeback when they have never seen another Ang Lee or Oscar worthy show (besides Titanic). And amusing to watch the beefy men in singlets and shorts clustered together in the cinema. Rare sight, I say. But h-o-t.

It's not the hot sex in the tent that moved us all, right? Must be the heartwrenching love between two people. It doesn't matter whether the love's between men and women, or solely men or women. It's the power of love that matters.

Oh alright, I guess the sex scenes helped. Which reminds me - Must there be a sexual relationship between two men before they're considered to be in love? Been trying to answer this for ages, because a girl and a boy can be in love without sex. So can two girls. Just wondering about two guys.

And I think it is unfair to suspect the director to be gay simply because he has shot more than one good film based on this theme. I think it's because portraying emotions is Ang Lee's forte and gay theme films is the genre that can best express the most intense emotions.

Thumbs up for Crash too. Have you seen it? It's showing again at GVs. And George Clooney was superduper delectable~
