I am a christain who finds the very idea of brokeback mountian very offensive. just the thought that it would even win any awards. to me it shows just how immoral america is becoming.  i refuse to watch the movie and encourage other christians not to indulge in it either.  what is your opinion? serious answers only please.

i agree, Americans are becoming more and more accepting of indeciency and immorality - we see entertainment continuously pushing the lines of what is tolerable with endless shows centering about being homosexual, shorter and fewer clothes, purposeless living, etc. i am not saying that these shows should be banned or anything, but simply that they have devolped a sickingly wide audience and illustrate how low we are sinking as a society

Hollywood is liberal and constantly pushing agendas.  They love their own, and demand to be accepted as mainstream.  Critics loved this and its nominated for many Oscars.  This does not mean that it is popular.  It is just barely creeping up on $60 Million.  Not a HUGE success by hollywood standards.  A movie has to make at least $100 mil to get on the http://boxofficemojo.com highest grossing movies of all time.  There are currently 339 movies on that list.  This movie is nowhere near this list. Yet the commercials and marketing are constant.\n\nNow contrast that with The Chronicles of Narnia.  It appeals to a wider secular audience, as well as conservatives and Christians (which is a HUGE untapped market, BTW).  It was a great adventure movie and so far has grossed $278,862,289.  That is more than $200 mil MORE than the gay cowboys.  Narnia is currently #28 in the list of top grossing movies of all time.  Besides being a great commercial hit, it is a good movie!  COMPLETELY SNUBBED BY THE OSCARS.\n\nWho says the Oscars aren't political?

If one's faith is so weak that it is undermined by a work of fiction, then there's something wrong with the person not the book.  Why does a fictional book and movie which by the accounts I've read was rushed and not well put together threaten some religious people so much?  Is it really that scary a prospect for people to examine their faith?   I don't understand it.  But hey, if people want to boycott, more power to them, it won't hurt the theaters.

Not at all.........I think it's a little funny but not disturbing.\n\nDon't judge or punish him for past misdemeanours, we all make error of judgement calls from time to time.\n\n(Plus he DID both the mother and daughter!!!! Serious bonus points from the Guys Bible for that one!!) ha ha

Are you refering to the first?  I personally thought it was a great movie.  Parts of it were kinda boring, but I loved the ending.  I think what I liked the most though was the moral message behind the movie.

Yes and this seems to slowly be happening in Hollywood, but on our end Christians have to support these movies to let producers know that they are worth making. Passion of the Christ and Narnia were hits but not all of them are. Movie production is more interested in making money than the beliefs put forth and if we as Christians won't spend the money to see quality movies then they will quite making them. Also remember that there are far more unsaved people than Christians so the majority rules and we at best will have only a few options.

Put it out. Christians already know the truth and know that in the end times, these types of things will be thrown at them. Hollywood tries any way it can to destroy Chrisianity because they are a bunch of Godless idiots. Whomever made the film will have to bow one day and explain their actions.

I don't think so.\n\nThe story, the music, and the acting of Brokeback Mountain touches the soul few movies can. It's universal. Women, men, gay, and straight, from all walks of life and cultures, who possess the same human decency of kindness and conscience, resonate in the same ways. That's the kind of beauty in BBM that grabs people and makes them cry.\n\nNeedless to say, those who are afraid to watch the movie, or cannot experience the true meaning of it, would not have much to say about it.  To say I have lived, I must have experienced.  This movie is an experience of a life-time.

It's as accurate as it can get.\n\nSatan himself tried to stop this from movie from being made.  Mel Gibson speaks of all the demonic forces that came against him and his team.  But God wanted this movie to be released to bring in the harvest as the Lord's return is sooner than we think.\n\nGod bless you and I understand you getting ill.  Jesus really went through all that for you and me.

I agree with you.  I saw both films and if I had to choose which one to ban because of "family values" it would be "Hostel."  I'm a HUGE fan of horror and gore, but this was a lot, even for me.  If I had a child I sure as sh!t wouldn't want them to watch this film!  "Brokeback Mountain" was a genuine movie, a good movie.  With such a topic as homosexuality (which I never really derived from the film, just that the two had a love for each other, not men in general), hypocrisy runs abound.

I'm a catholic and you know i never even thought of that. Glad you did and pointed it out. As far as Don up there maybe the reason he didn't go see it. Is because he's to much of a chicken, he would realize what kind of person he really is. He claims to be a christain but is always bashing the catholics. Calling us a perverted & cult like religion. A true christain doesn't bash another for their beliefs and religious practices. They are kind and understanding. If you are a christain and honestly feel  that some other religion is wrong the best  thing to do is pray for those ppl, not bash them . Thats the true christian way.

Don't get me wrong I'm a huge supporter of gay rights but yes I'm getting sick of it.  I think it's time to focus on moving past Brokeback Mountain and look towards another movie featuring gay characters.\n\n(btw I'm also sick of people complaining about BBM losing at the Oscars.  You could *tell* that Crash was going to win, which is another great movie but now Crash is going to be known as ZOMG TEH EVIIIL MOVI TAT BEAT BBM!!!!eleventy111!!!)

I have read the book and I just saw the movie last night. I am a christian; however, I have read scripture and other religously based works, both fiction and non-fiction regarding almost every known religion in the world. I am a christian by choice, not because it is the only religion I have ever been exposed to or know anything about. \n\nThat said, I loved the book and thought the movie was way underwritten. Definately worth seeing, but the screenplay was terrible and character development was absent. How, people knew what they knew and when they knew it was absurd. And the stupidity (you don't have to let everyone know about your change in flight plans immediately after you decide to change them. You don't buy train tickets on a credit card when your running from the cops....) started to get annoying. The movie sped up when it should of slowed down and left things in that could have been omitted. On the other hand it also had a kindergardenish way of over explaining when it should have moved on (like the mansion scene). This may be okay for those who haven't read the book or aren't aware of who Mary Magdalene was.\n \nI didn't think it was boring, but I'm into this kind of material a lot. As for the fictional/nonfictional status. definately fictional, and I don't say this because it conflict with the Holy Bible whose origins and completeness have its own host of questions. To me, it just doesn't make sense for God to leave a bloodline through Jesus.  It makes sense for Jesus to have a wife or a 'companion' as much as it makes sense for any Jewish carpenter to have a wife. Was this fact entirely omited during the assembly of the Holy Bible???? Possibly.  Just one of many questions. I think the Da Vinci Code is a 'what if' type of work that does not try to affend anyone, but have fun with this question.\n\nI'll tell you what....What if...through DNA testing they found out that Mohammed suffered from severe BiPolar disorder? Imagine the Hoopla that movie would stir.\n\nExplore life...spread peace.

well\nthere was an instance in which a 500 pound male was practically.... although unintentionally..... 69-ing with someone else... and in that scene there is complete male nudity with scarce censorship. That particular scene lasts for ten excruciating minutes. It is a male on male thing too.... not sexual, just... wrestling. Also there is the showing of Borats "Favorite Son's" penis in a picture. And two different men... for lack of a better term.... "jacking off"... \n\nAside from that there are mainly severly obese women in thongs and bras.\n\nI would definitely reccomend advisory with this one.\n\nAside from nudity\nthere is also.. rather alot of racial things.\n\nalot of anti-jews and anti-homosexuality and pro-prostitution\n\nI am 16 and I was shocked that I was let into this movie because it is obviously rated R for a reason. I was with a group of my friends and I hid my face in my sweatshirt for a good portion of it.\n\nexcercise caution with this movie.

Everything in opposition of the Bible drives them crazy. It's already been established that it is fiction, and not even an original piece of work as it was stolen from other writers. But some people believe that it is really possible. That's their perogrative. I have not seen the movie so I can't comment on the contents. \n\nBut I agree you really do have to wonder when someone gets that upset over something. Perhaps it's not near as strong and firm as people would like you to believe if they get that threatened by a work of fiction.
