I have no intention of seeing it. But hell, if it comes up on HBO, I'll probably give it a shot.
The whole damn thing is so cliche it makes me sick. The vast majority of reviews are very positive, but my gut tells me that it it would be receivng very little fanfare if it weren't for the homosexuality involved in it. I am guessing it is just another low budget cowboy movie with an average story...though spiced up with the gay characters involved to make it controversial and at the same time mandate overwhelmingly positive reviews by the media masses to demonstrate just how sensitive and diverse they are.
It really is stupid of me to make such a judgement without seeing the damn movie, but this is my impression.
I imagine The Unforgiven with Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, and Gene Hackman. Imagine that movie with some intimate relationship between Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman's characters. It was a good movie, at least I liked it, but throwing in a sexual relationship between Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood would have been completely unnecessary and ruined it as it would have been an all too obvious PC addition to the movie in and effort to gain some controversy, boost recognition and of course sales in the box office.
Perhaps I just need to see it.
