Im jumping into this discussion mid-stream, but this not the smartest statement.

The fact that the film breaks down stereotypes makes it more compelling.

And even if they did this to "promote ticket sales", what film doesn't? Producers look at facets of life that others would be interested in seeing on the big screen, invest oodles of cash to give the idea wings, and then profit from their investment.

 

interesting.....how about a daughter that was gay?

I think alot of people hear feel differently about male homosexuality as opposed to female hmsxlty....discuss.

 

Either way, I wouldn't care (except to know that my son or daughter would suffer discrimination by biggoted ayholes) As long as s/he was healthy and well-adjusted, I'd be fine with her/his sexual orientation.

Of course. That and the multiple awards it has won.

 

I'd have to agree here. Although in the beginning I would be a little bit upset, I would be fine with it as long as he/she turned out to be a good, caring well rounded person.

 

Fair enough.

 

So yeah... it got the most nominations out of any other movie, 8, including movie of the year, best actor, best director, among others.

 

But of course it only got all those nominations because it's part of the gay plot to overthrow American culture

 

:rotfl:

 

aka Liberal Hollywood?


but nice comment

 

Actually I tend to like most Oscar worthy movies. I also like alot of movies that don't get nominated.

Last 5 years for example I liked most of these movies and the Winners every year were good movies. (Although I didn't really like Chicago, it was alright)

American Beauty is a great movie, along with Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind, LOTR 3 and Million Dollar Baby. All good movies IMO.
