I think this scene is one of the best scenes ever made and I find it more poignant because of what it's dealing with.

If you actually deconstruct it, their conversation is rather banal, but it represents the culmination of their entire relationship and the vulnerability of the characters.

It's so simple in terms of the dialogue but the structure of pace, although created ultimately for dramatic effect, really displays the basis of the film and shows an audience the complications, despair and sadness of their love.

What's even better about it, is its two men and people have rarely seen this 'reality' in a gay relationship of this nature in a mainstream film.

If you haven't seen this film, you should probably not watch this.

I've actually been meaning to see this movie for a long time but have yet to get around to it. It's annoying, some kids at my school, instead of using the term "fag" or "gay", they say"brokeback", it's so fucking stupid.

I haven't seen the movie but I would be really careful with Hollywood movies--- they like to portray gays in a bad light.

I dislike love stories so I really can't be bothered watching it unless I have to.

I can't think of any examples of that to be honest.

I believe that FL is speaking of Hollywood's gay stereotyping.

Precisely. In most movies, adding a gay character is usually done just to add a facade sense of diversity, or (in the case of two females) to add a lesbian nude scene. This film was realistic, and just showed two people in love. I really enjoyed the film.

Take a look at the 1980s film Mannequin---- what a stupid film!

I agree, great film!

Fanstasic cinematorgapy and music. But the most impressive aspect is the acting. Both of the leads are marvelous.
