Review

Guess what, I'm feeling a lot better already. Not sure what had happened between last night and today, but the dark clouds over my head have been dispelled. God must have heard and answered my prayers. And I am not so bothered by the work issues now. Praise be to God!

Today's ST papers had a feature about Brokeback Mountains, and I thought that the writer described very well his sentiments after watching the movie. I felt the similar sense of restraint being portrayed. I had watched the movie last week after hearing the raving reviews and hype. No doubt certain scenes made me cringe with discomfort and embarrassment, I felt that the movie did delve deep in its portrayal of love, fear, frustrations, and sense of being trapped in. It "humanises" the emotions of guys whose gender preference is not quite the norm. This is something that I will probably never learn about through my interactions with people I meet.

On the flipside, I feel that the movie has encouraged more gay couples to step out into the open and seek acceptance in the society. I'm not sure where this trend would lead to, but I do know that homosexuality is not in accordance to God's will.

On the whole, the movie was an eye-opener, although I wonder if a tinge of my "childhood innocence" was lost as I watched the movie.
