‘Brokeback’ Breaks No Ground
Hollywood has no major gay actors — none out of the closet, that is. “Brokeback” needed some star power, otherwise it would have been a minor gay art film. So the producers got two straights to impersonate gay men — and then reassured everyone in sight that they were not gay at all. Whatever this is — and it is worthy in its own terms — it is not a revolution but rather a statement of how little things have changed. In more ways than one, “Brokeback Mountain” is a tragedy.
In other news, in “The Passion” it was discovered that Jesus wasn’t really Jesus but a human “impersonating” him. HELLO!!! That’s what actors do, that’s why it’s called acting.
