Italy TV Takes the “Gay” out of “Brokeback Mountain”
Effectively snipping the cojones from “Brokeback Mountain” – a tale of two gay cowboys – Italian broadcasters censored and cut out all of the gay scenes from the movie, making it into an innocent story of two chummy cowboy buddies.
“Gay” controversy aside, I must say this movie sucked bad. The scenery was great, the song “Wings” is incredible, but it must have been one of the most boring pieces of cinema I’ve ever had the displeasure of yawning through.
Italy, instead of cutting out the only controversy that made this movie interesting to begin with, can you add some action to it, please? Or some comedy. Maybe Adam Sandler shows up and sings us a song about sheep. How about some ass kicking and gunslinging action scenes with John Wayne? Maybe the Terminator shows up Or… that awesome white-house-exploding scene from Independence Day would’ve been perfect.
Then again, maybe all of Italian TV should be boring.
