'Brokeback Mountain' Gets 4 Golden Globes

Says a lot about the moral decay of our society and the hollywood left. Oh well, let them pat themselves on their backs. Hollywood is so out of touch with mainstream America, they really just have no clue.

The cowboy romance "Brokeback Mountain" led the Golden Globes on Monday with four prizes, including best dramatic film and the directing honor for Ang Lee.
It was a triumphant night for films dealing with homosexuality and transsexuality. Along with the victories for "Brokeback Mountain," acting honors went to Felicity Huffman in a gender-bending role as a man preparing for sex-change surgery in "Transamerica" and Philip Seymour Hoffman as gay author Truman Capote in "Capote."

Also, read this commentary by WND Managing Editor David Kupelian.

"Brokeback Mountain," the controversial "gay cowboy" film that has garnered seven Golden Globe nominations and breathless media reviews – and has now emerged as a front-runner for the Oscars – is a brilliant propaganda film, reportedly causing viewers to change the way they feel about homosexual relationships and same-sex marriage.
And how do the movie-makers pull off such a dazzling feat? Simple. They do it by raping the "Marlboro Man," that revered American symbol of rugged individualism and masculinity.
We all know the Marlboro Man. In
"The Marketing of Evil," I show how the Philip Morris Company made marketing history by taking one of the most positive American images of all time – the cowboy – and attaching it to a negative, death-oriented product – cigarettes.
Hit the pause button for a moment so this idea can completely sink in: Cigarette marketers cleverly attached, in the public's mind, two utterly unrelated things: 1) the American cowboy, with all of the powerful feelings that image evokes in us, of independence, self-confidence, wide-open spaces and authentic Americanism, and 2) cigarettes, a stinky, health-destroying waste of money. This legendary advertising campaign targeting men succeeded in transforming market underdog Marlboro (up until then, sold as a women's cigarette with the slogan "Mild as May") into the world's best-selling cigarette.
It was all part of the modern marketing revolution, which meant that, instead of touting a product's actual benefits, marketers instead would psychologically manipulate the public by associating their product with the fulfillment of people's deepest, unconscious needs and desires. (Want to sell liquor? Put a seductive woman in the ad.) Obviously, the marketers could never actually deliver on that promise – but emotional manipulation sure is an effective way to sell a lot of products.
The "Marlboro Man" campaign launched 50 years ago. Today, the powerful cowboy image is being used to sell us on another self-destructive product: homosexual sex and "gay" marriage.

Since I saw the previews of Brokeback Mountain, I have had the same impression noted in this article. Why take the "all American" image of a cowboy (what little boy hasnt played cowboys and indians?) and pervert it into a gay themed abomination? This is precisely the reason my family WILL NOT support the Hollywood agenda by paying hard-earned money to go to the movies. I think that Christians have no business supporting these movie makers and actors who mock God. Other than "The Passion of the Christ", I cannot think of a recent movie that was worthy of a Christian's attention. The American Family Association has done a wonderful job in making changes to the status quo regarding the "Christmas"/"Holiday" argument as well as making a difference in the "Book of Daniel" controversy - I wish that the AFA would call Christians to action when it comes to their support of Hollywood. Unfortunately, I would say that the majority of Christians can be seen in movie theaters frequently. What does that say about our stand for God? Luke warm, I think.

We went to the Narnia movie, but that was the first one in years that we've seen. I agree that we should not be supporting hollywood as they continue to push for the gay agenda, sex in every movie and disfunctional this that and the other. It's just sad that they can't make decent movies anymore. Well, the public is speaking. They are saying "Hollywood, we don't like what you're doing".
