So About That Gay Cowboy Movie Starring Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke&#;
Pedro Pascal is going to see a male about a horse. Actually, you can scratch the “about a horse” part.
Riding the range in the Wild, Wild West, his cowboy rides into town, hitches his stallion, and walks right into the sheriff’s office. The lawman — he’s named Jake, and played by Ethan Hawke — knows this stranger, Silva. The two lock eyes, and the faintest of smiles breaks across Jake’s face. They knew each other, a long, drawn-out time ago. The duo decide to catch up over a drink. Silva reminds his mature friend that they used to a drink a lot together, back in the day. Jake says he doesn’t drink any more. It led to too much “madness.” Silva says it wasn’t mad at all. They stare into each other’s eyes some more. The temperature in the frontier jailhouse seems to be rising. Get a room, you two!
Except they’ve already got one, what with a bed being right over there and all, and the outlaw is slugging whiskey and the sheriff is looking
How Pedro Almodóvar&#;s Gay Cowboy Short Film &#;Strange Way of Life&#; Differs From &#;The Power of the Dog&#;: &#;They Didn&#;t F—&#;
Nine more minutes of footage would take Pedro Almodóvar’s film “Strange Way of Life” from a live deed short frontrunner to a best picture contender.
To be eligible for the Academy Awards’ best picture category, a film must have a minimum minute runtime. Almodóvar’s movie runs 31 minutes. With those extra nine minutes, we could also highlight the worthiness of actors Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal and the project&#;s artisan categories. But for his second English language endeavor, coming three years after “The Human Voice” with Tilda Swinton, the Spanish auteur’s sensibilities are never lacking. His new Spanish Western stands proudly next to some of his most audacious movies such as “Talk to Her” and “Volver.”
A rainy Wednesday in the south of France didn’t keep crowds of ticket rushers and fans from trying to acquire a glimpse of Almod&oac
Brokeback Mountain at the ‘gay cowboy flick’ now rightly regarded as a tragic masterpiece
Some films accumulate an emotional residue over time; rather than diminishing, their impact deepens and intensifies with each screening. When I first saw Ang Lee’s Brokeback Mountain in – a movie I’d been anticipating since a “gay cowboy” project was announced – my response was subdued. I keep in mind telling a comrade who’d asked what I thought that it was lovely in the way a landscape painting is beautiful: lush and precisely detailed but emotionally spare. These days I can’t hear the opening strains of Gustavo Santaolalla’s poignant score without weeping.
Beautiful landscape is, of course, a central feature of the film, tantalising and talismanic. The quietly stunning Wyoming countryside is not only where our cowboys fall in love – mercurial and passionate Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) and taciturn and self-loathing Ennis del Mar (Heath Ledger) – it represents the kind of emotional freedom and acceptance they can’t find in the prosaic interiors of their upbringing. Brokeback Mountain (a fi
A week ago Friday I joined friends for the opening of Brokeback Mountain at the Lake Theatre. For those of you who have not recently opened a manuscript or turned on the television, this film has generated praise from the majority of movie critics and its share of controversy. The movie has already been pulled from screens in three states, and I am confident, considering the amount of wingnuts, it will probably be pulled from several more screens before the end of its run.
The film, based on the short story by E. Anne Proulx, tells the story of two juvenile Wyoming sheepherders, Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger) and Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal). The film begins in when the two cowboys join and, well, descend deeply in noun. Considering the second and place, the two men are confused, frightened and, well, deeply in love. It brought to my mind Oscar Wilde and Victorian England: &#;the love that we dare not say its name.&#;
The story of this romance affair stretches over a year period. After a four-year absence, Jack (now married) appears at Ennis&#; (also now married) door. At first sight the two hu
