ONE love, blood, life
Obviously, if it was about an interior designer and an air steward, that would be an 'angle' also.
Right. And Brokeback Mountain was just a love story? There was no agenda whatever in choosing two denizens of one of the most macho professions as the subjects? I seem to recall several commentators that liked the movie suggesting that there was such an agenda and applauding this.
Well what is it that you thought Philadelphia was about?
An obsessed narrow view...
Did you see the movie?
I read the reviews on here.
Cowboys=beautiful setting and hotness. Maybe that's why the author chose cowboys.
Men shouldn't be treated as sex objects.
Obviously, if it was about an interior designer and an air steward, that would be an 'angle' also.
By making them 'macho' cowboys, it creates an extra layer of conflict and a more interesting story arc. Drama! I cant imagine why they would want to make the movie interesting...
First, all art makes some kind of statement. That's what artists do.
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Just because Jesus said it doesn't make it true.
Theres a difference in making a statement and having an agenda. I agree that its silly to think that Brokeback Mountain is just a love story. I'd like to think that there was some thought that went into making the leads gay beyond "oh....just because". but to imply an agenda goes a little beyond making a statement
Second, do any of you have any idea what generated the original short story by Annie Proulx?
It is worth thinking about it.
Don't you think?
So the "agenda" to that movie is the art of storytelling, that's all.
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Did he?
I put "agenda" in quotes because I found the whole discussion of the movie and its apparent agenda really dumb.
I was under the impression that he did, why else would anybody be a Christian?
