While talking to a #feminist friend about #genderroles #masculinity and #feminism we eventually began talking about #representation in #movies and television and we both pretty much agreed on our standards of good vs bad representation. My feminist friend and I both agree that #brokebackmountain is a masterpiece of both storytelling and #gay representation in media. Brokeback Mountain is a tragedy not because it criticizes gay people or even traditional gender roles (as both characters largely fulfill those roles) but rather two people who fall in love but due to circumstances cannot be together.
Brokeback Mountain succeeds where Bros fails
