#and like i guess it isnt common knowledge anymore how much of a groundbreaking movie this was but it came out at a time where it was

ik that art is subjective and there is not one "true" meaning that one is meant to derive from a work but honestly, some people's readings of media ARE wrong and dumb and bad, lol

#ive seen ppl say that brokeback mountain was basically like emphasizing why people should be in the closet and stuff and im just like. #how could the point fly over your dumb little head so high smhh #they say that like jack and ennis end up miserable anyways so it shows that theres no hope for queer ppl or whatever but like? #i thought it was obvious that the whole point of the piece is that its a commentary on society and an argument as to why we need to fight #against homophobia with all that we got bc the story draws you into these two guys lives and you see just how miserable they ar #not because theyre queer but because society is so cruel and harsh and didnt let them have what they so obviously wanted #its a story thats supposed to be a mirror held up to audiences to be like 'if ur homophobic and toxically masculine and u express the same #ideals that are clearly torturing these guys then you are part of the problem and are the reason why not only jack and ennis' lives suck #but also why their families get dragged down into the muck too' #and like i guess it isnt common knowledge anymore how much of a groundbreaking movie this was but it came out at a time where it was #socially acceptable to be openly homophobic in most places and bc im insane ive read so many stories of ppl whos minds were changed #bc they saw the movie and were like damn. maybe i should stop being a dickhead to people who just wanna live their lives #so when i see reviews that are like " #brokeback mountains message is to stay in the closet im just like. shut the fuck upppppppppp and learn how to be media literate ugh. lmao #still brokeback posting
