Gay man on the street perspective:
It’s based on a short story written by a white woman from New England who told a story about a lifestyle she has no real understanding of or experience with resulting in a soap opera that uses romance novel and gay porn tropes:
—Forced rough sex
—Camping sex
—Cowboy sex
—Sex on the job
—Hiding sex from the boss
—Forbidden sex
—Gay acts in front of a straight woman
—Hiding gay acts from straight women
—Cheating on a wife
—Bad, melodramatic dialogue
—Shame sex rooted in homophobic tropes
—Unattainable relationship
Aaaaaaand, of course, society won’t let them be together so they’re victims. Also uses the well worn Hollywood trope of gays as “outlaws.”
It’s kind of offensive, really.
And Ennis was a total a-hole to Jack. I don’t find him likable or sympathetic at all.
And dear God, Ledger’s bad hick accent and Tom Hardy mumble are almost unwatchable.

The English Patient and Shakespeare in Love say hello.
I have never seen The English Patient so I can't comment, but Shakespeare in Love had the unfortunate distinction of being the film that upset Saving Private Ryan for Best Picture. Unfortunate because it is a very good and entertaining movie in its own right. Had it won the year The English Patient was up for the top prize there never would have been as much controversy. Yeah, people probably still would have argued for Fargo or Jerry Maguire over it, but it would have been a lot like 1994 where you had Forrest Gump beat out Pulp Fiction and The Shawshank Redemption. People would have said the best film didn't win but at least a "very deserving" film won.

Least surprising take from the least surprising poster. Aren't you mad they weren't back in the barn, where they should be if they were earning a paycheck?

It is a good film that deals with this subject in a non preachy way. It just tells a good, albeit, sad movie.
