Brokeback Mountain personal response

Whilst watching the film Bargonback Mountain, I became frustrated at the mall characters, zany and Nines. This thwarting was because of an evident idea in the film that I agree strongly with, Sexuality is not a choice. This idea made me realize how lucky I am to have been born in an era where nine is much more accepting of individuality than in the past. And I felt frustrated because the deuce men believed the only way to be accepted in society was to be something they werent, which was trousseaux.In the summer of 1963 two young men, Nines Del Mar and Jack Twist, meet when they go back work sheep-herding for the summer on Bareback Mountain. The two quickly form a friendship that eventually develops Into something more. They be get on mentally and physically Involved with wizard another. I believe the directors purpose of this film was to open the viewers eyes, showing them that you cannot choose who fall in love with. The idea that grammatical gender is not a choice is develo p in the film because the two men eave a perfectly fine life, they both had a loving wife and a family, but they were happiest when together.A close up of Nines face shows him staring out of the window, trying to pass time by flicking his lighter whilst waiting for Jack to arrive at his house. You can make up ones mind in his expression that he is excited his eyes keep looking around as If he Is searching for Jack. This shot told the audience how much Nines cared for and missed Jack, because you truism different a side of Nines, a side where he was excited and nervous, the audience never maxim this side of him when he was with is wife.I was happy when I saw Nines not being able to control his emotions towards Jack, it gave me faith that true love and happiness does exist. But I also felt extremely sorry the mens room wifes, I felt as though they were using their wifes as a shield from reality, as they were afraid of what might happen to them if anyone found out round their relat ionship with one another. No matter how much they tried to stay apart, they would invariably come back to each other. This is another way the idea sexuality is not a choice is developed in the film. The dialogue l wish I could quit you is said by Jack Twist.This quote reinforces the fact that Jack couldnt stay away from Nines, he wishes he didnt feel the way he felt about Nines, and he wishes that he could Just stop having the desire to see him, but he Just cannot quit him. He would rather be living with his wife, but he loves Nines so he cant resist seeing him. It shows that Jack would neuter himself so that he could fit Into society, If he was able to. This made me feel really upset. I have been taught from a very young age to always be yourself around others, even though they shamed of who he was.With all this being said, it makes me proud that the awareness and acceptance of the LIGHT community is growing greater each year. Just last year, on the 17th of April in 2013, an Amen dment Bill allowing same-sex couples to marry in New Zealand passed the final reading. It gives me great pleasure knowing that society is becoming more susceptible to diversity. But still to this day people still suffer from this fear of not being accepted, and it is very hard for them to come out about their sexuality to the public.I have had quite a few friends who have struggled with this issue. I have noticed they have all been scared of what their parents might think, say, or do. They are afraid that they go forth be a disappointment to the family. I think it is absolutely absurd for a parent to disown their own child because they are attracted to a different gender. I am sure that if their child could choose who they were to fall in love with, they would choose someone that their parents would approve of. I am truly disgusted that this disowning happens still to this day.I would recommend Bareback Mountain to year 12 students because not only is it a great film, it ordain te ach, and raise their understanding of the idea sexuality is not a choice. I think that emotional students will particularly benefit in watching this film, as they will allow the film to affect them, and they will wonder about the deeper meanings in the film. I believe that this film could even change some peoples opinions about homosexuals, because they will come to agree with the films strong message, sexuality is not a choice.
