Brokeback Mountain (2005)
Finally a gay movie that has masculine men
Many many masculine homosexual men have become weary of the queening of Gay America. Everywhere we turn we see homosexual men portrayed as feminized queens, men who act in drag, with wigs, in heels, (Priscilla, Queen of the Dessert, To Wong Foo, Birdcage, etc).
Finally, a movie has been produced that captures the hearts and minds of what gay men not only experience, but as they really are. We're men, not queens! All that masculine gay men want from the media is to portray us as we really are, and not screaming queens to giggle, camp it up or are typified by Will & Grace, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (damn, those characters have set gay men back decades!), or Sex & the City gay characters.
We are men. We are cowboys. We are firefighters. We are policemen. We are soldiers. We are everywhere and we are just like regular men.
We just are oriented for intimacy with other men. that's it!
Kudos to this fantastic cast, producers and directors, and all those individuals who helped with this brilliant film.
Gay masculine men thank you!
Balseros (2002)
Fantastic and realistic summary of Cuba today
Although I was born in Miami, my family is from Cuba. When I visited the country of my parents 3 years ago (from Havana to Pinar Del Rio trips), I was overcome with a deep sadness as to how pitiful the international media has covered the plight of Cubans on the island. Finally! This movie captures it all too well and so realistically, so accurately, so heroically!
It's about time!
Regardless of how one feels about Fidel Castro, Bill Clinton and the changes the US has made on Cuba's refugee policies, the people of Cuba live in absolute misery. No other 3rd world country in the Western Hemisphere has so much misery as Cuba. Economic poverty is not Cuba's worst problem. Misery is! Everywhere I went people on the island of Cuba lived in misery, fear, mistrust, suspicion, a basic ethos are missing, a will to live is gone, anxiety, depression, loneliness, desperateness and more.
If you want to understand the situation in Cuba as it is today, watch this film.
Pity that Hollywood films in America don't report the truth as it is, without getting bogged down on their stupid political self-righteous statements from their comfortable palatial Hollywood homes.
Watch this movie. It's great!
