Brokeback Mountain was a propaganda piece; conceived as a reaction to Bush's second term push for a Federal Marriage Amendment. Propaganda can be moving and great and entertaining, such as The Battleship Potemkin or El Norte, but Brokeback Mountain was boooooooring.
Really, if I want to watch a movie about love, I'd rather watch Casablanca or Breakfast at Tiffanys.
