- Heath expressing his views on Brokeback mountain.
As a side note; The reporter at the beginning of the video is asking about how Heath Ledger felt about the opinions of those people who think the movie is disgusting, he is not expressing his own views. unfortunately i cut the video wrong, He’s probably a top bloke 😁
Anyone else randomly getting this recommended 7 years later?
Me, me, ooh ooh, me too.Over here.😄
Uh yeah, here! I find it hard watching films with actors who have passed but I have no doubts about watching this. What a legend of a guy he was. And still is! The fact that I have been recommended this.
Yep but I don't mind
Yes. I am glad it was. So well said.
Yep and I’m so glad it did!
Btw, for anyone wondering, that wasn’t the old guy’s opinion, he was asking the question of the people who think it’s disgusting.
@Wisty Boy you’re such a snowflake jeez
@@seanells2333 I think that was sarcasm
@Wisty Boy ❄❄ alert
@Wisty Boy m8 edit your comment to say "(Sarcasm)" because everybody is getting fuckin pissy.
@@solidsnake8330 When they bring politics into it is it really sarcasm anymore? Lol
I have so much respect for him as a person. The fact that he, a straight male, in 2005 when there was very little representation, stood up for gay rights and understands the core of the argument. He was such a genuine soul and should be an example for people in this world. I hope straight men, even 20 years later, can take something from him. RIP Heath.

Yeah but what is YOUR reason for commenting that? I suspect your using it out of context
Not necessarily. If you spend your entire life with basically the same worldviews, but you used those decades to be a positive force to those around you (including yourself), then I most certainly wouldn't call that wasted - would you?

As a heterosexual man, it opened my eyes to the horror of living a lie about who you are genetically predisposed to love. I had a closeted friend who was arrested at a porno shop for soliciting. He committed suicide. It was such a waste of a nice, smart talented human. Hats off to all involved for telling a rarely told story with such honesty and depth
It's a choice.
@@tren380 If it is a choice, can you envision yourself suddenly deciding that you would have intimate sex with other guys and, as a result, be an outcast and reviled by family, friends & most people you don't even know. Why would anyone voluntarily make that choice? They wouldn't.
@@tren380 It's your choice to be vile.
@@tren380 It was also your mother's choice to abort you and she refused, unfortunately.
Im so sad to hear that your dear friend had to end his life. It breaks my heart to hear of another senseless death.

@Chris Austin Which conversation would that be then?
@@nickcrotty6665 _crickets_
It is disgusting, that they let him open his pie hole! Great movie! 100% heterosexual! Learn to love everyone the same. You don’t have to like it but keep it real! Look up the definition of LOVE!
I guess the truth hurts!
@Chris Austin Agreed

He was from Australia. They don’t talk shit about each other the way we do in the US, nowadays. We need to act more educated, and live & let live. We need to come together and love each other, instead of acting like a bunch of high school kids. Please, everyone love. Love promotes happiness!!! Happiness promotes positive energy!!! Positive energy promotes success in every aspect of your life.
I think broccoli is disgusting, but you don’t see me standing on a pulpit about it and trying to make it illegal… I just don’t eat it and go on about my day. … imagine?

Those are called moral norms, just as you can't go around mastrubate in public you shouldn't be able to push this filth onto society.
@@user-kh7kt5km8f secretly I actually love both, but I had to make the point
Such a shame he passed way too soon. We need people like this who can express their opinions without insulting anyone. He really was just a kind beautiful person
I agree, he sounded like such a lovely soul!!
He was sexy as hell
we're running out of people who can do that sadly... being hateful seems to almost be becoming the norm to some
Why did you think he didn't insult the old man? He did it. And it's ok.
No one that has ever lived on this planet who expresses their true beliefs can ever say they've never offended anyone! Its called freedom of speech! People out there get offended for others eating an animal! People get offended for people cutting the skin off the penis of other baby boy! If your a free thinker you cant not but offend others! Thing is its okay to be offended, its natural, regardless of your beliefs, its that bad now other people get offended on behalf of someone else! People need to learn that not everyone reads off the same page! Biggest offender is religion!! Without that humans could definitely live in a more harmonious world.
It is so sad that people grow old without growing up. And sadder still that this good man didn’t grow old.
When you're not authentic you keep hating everything, when you're not authentic then you don't actually know yourself, when you're not authentic you don't know what you need or why are you feeling something. That's what's homophobia is: not knowing yourself, and that's the saddest thing.
Yes people killed him... these idiots(which they are many) who can't even think about what's going on in this movie and can't open a new window...jake and heath did a great job in hollywood..but These idiots are the same who when heath died they understood what a great actor was he. ..While Jake is still alive and they still do not know what a great actor Jake is because he is not arrogant at all?!... he has MANY GREAT MOVIES...fun fact in hollywood : You should be an asshole to be the good actor or good singer...
10000% agree and his talent is missed.I often wonder what films he would have starred in.Rest in power/ grace Mr Heath 🌍💌🌍
@@sunmoon6862 so true...
Brian, I came into the comment section to leave my own, but yours said everything that I could possibly hope to say. Beautifully worded.
Thank you, Heath. You are missed. This film is important on so many levels. Those who wish to understand or increase their understanding and empathy should see it. As he said, it is not about a virus or epidemic. It is the story of two souls in love. It is a beautiful and tragic film that truly shows the conflict so many men face as they are challenged with their sexuality and societal views.
It is a shame that people spend so much time worrying about other people love. This world is full of real problems. Why not try to fix one of them rather than bitching about what makes two consenting adults happy

He also refused to make a joke about Brokeback Mountain when he was co-hosting the Oscars. He said it was a serious movie he was proud of and he wouldn't cheapen an important love story by making jokes about it
I really respect that. He was such a good guy.
That's just show bizz dickheads always Tryna joke about everything
It is a joke to call this film "an important love story." Yes, it was groundbreaking to see a mainstream Hollywood film about a gay relationship. However, the two leads couldn't have had less chemistry (even other straight actors have done a better job), and I found myself cringing during the sex scene, which was neither romantic nor erotic. Besides that, the plot was painfully slow and overly solemn, and I wouldn't sit through it a second time.
I disagree with everything you said. I loved every minute of it and could watch it again.
@@user-kb8qw7dy4t what is chemistry to you then? i honestly cannot believe you did not feel that chemistry between ennis and jack like seriously
What a loss to the world that this man is no longer around.
I watched the film when it came out and my brother who is very homophobic was making fun of me and honestly i didn't care, I really loved the film and people that can't look past their prejudice can miss really beautiful stories, Heath's character is just incredible, the complexity of each character and living in a time when their love wasn't accepted and it was such a tragic love story, but so real and deep.
So your brother has a fear of men?
@@spudhead1161Yeah his bro is prolly gay or curious about it. People are homophobic because homosexuality stirs up feelings inside that they are afraid of. That’s how it works
@@trashyraccoon2615 Do you know the meaning of homophobic?
@@spudhead1161 I do. It refers to people who have a pronounced hatred or fixation on homosexuals. Anyone who is secure in their sexuality doesn’t have that reaction to them. I’ve always been straight, so no homophobia for me
@trashyraccoon2615 Well homo comes from Latin for man and Phobia from Greek for fear, therefore man fear. I've no fear of man, but they make me sick, each to their own, but everyone and his dog has to be told if someone if gay and how brave and special they are. My gay friends say the same thing.
I miss Heath 😔❤️
Everyone does
I miss Ledger.
I miss the 's that was added behind his name every once in a while to show that something is his
Me too heath bars are delicious
@@marhen4497 xD
"two souls that are in love; get over the fact that it's two man." well said
+ Grace Lim, So very true! Heath let that man in the audience know exactly what his feelings on gay love were without being rude. Instead, he did it in a very dignified manner, which I hope put that man to shame. By the way, I am a 65 year old Mother of a gay man who has been in a monogamous relationship with another man for 15 years. I am very proud of my son, who has dedicated his life to helping others as a firefighter. Love is love - it does NOT need to be between a man and a woman.
Very brave Toni. God bless you and your son and his lover
Beautiful statement @Toni Hickey
Senpie Sensie ..... what
Yasmin M. The reason why he died. He speaks with boast. He is straight and supporting homosexuality? If i were him? I will shut my mouth for that question.
I discovered Heath with this movie. Remembering his incredible performance as Ennis, along with the other movies and interviews about him really made me appreciate this person not only as a brilliant actor, but as a beautiful human being that cared about others. There is just something about his open-mindness along his way of thinking I can relate to, and gives me a boost of positivity and faith towards people. He will certainly be forever remembered through each new generation that will be watching the beautiful movies he played on, just like we all did here.
“Why does he have to be gay?”
This question infuriates me 😖,
I have heard it all my life ,
PEOPLE YOU DONT CHOOSE TO BE GAY ,
YOU ARE BORN GAY!!
Great point: if you're going to worry about people's feelings for each other, worry about how they hate each other--not how they love each other.
Exactly!....no one bats an eye if two men hate each other, but if they love each other it's some horrible abomination...THAT is some fucked up thinking, and shows how ass backward society is, and THAT kind of thinking is why society is in the shape it's in....if you think that way, you're just a miserable, sad, self-loathing individual, you literally promotes hate, and not love....
Yeah that sounds like basic common sense.
Exactly
I'll just leave a mark here, to serve as a proof that I learned something new today, and to practice my English.
exactly
"people are very quick to label things of which they're not comfortable of" so true.
alec zavala yes that's how it should be.
@alec zavala: Why conform to a stereotype. Be yourself with your sexuality!
nt snazzy people label things they are comfortable with too. so true wow people label things
nt snazzy yes exactly why they label Christians
Absolutely.
Heath is impressively articulate and expresses his thoughts with full conviction. He must have been a wonderful human being, so his death is even more tragic.
"I mean, for- i mean, come on"

Yes, as an Australian whenever I go overseas I have to try really hard not to swear.
He was a smart man. It is so sad that he left the world so early. I wish he was still around.
He was brainwashed by Hollywood and due to drug abuse became embroiled in his choices of being a famous actor
@@tlansing18
um is that true? Or just a hearsay?
that's a joke. . . . errrrrr . . . .
He honestly doesn't even seem that much "smarter" over a general person. He just seems like a down to Earth person expressing an idea that should be a natural reaction to homophobia. It's like a white person standing up against racism, or a man treating a woman with respect. They're not special for doing it: they're normal, as it should be the norm. Beyond the fact that Heath was still a brilliant person ❤️
He needed to
this is such a brilliant and incredibly well composed argument. not only logical and compassionate but witty too: if you don’t understand, just disengage. leave the space instead of espousing hatred
There are very very few Hollywood actors/celebrities that we’ve lost that I was truly affected by and Heath Ledger was one of them. What a legend. Destined to be one of the greats of my lifetime.
He's only there to promote a movie but he politely says so much more. Beautiful soul he was.
In the end, isn't any real good movie trying to promote a point, an expression? He gets it for sure.
was?

This debate has been going on since the dawn of time
@@nickypoundtown9568 Homosexuality was very common and socially accepted in ancient Greece and Rome
@@gubblfisch350 in athens and rome yes, but was frowned upon by surrounding regions, the peleponisians being one
@@gubblfisch350 Yet with Ancient Rome and especially Pederasty was accepted where men would have relations boys. This is not accepted today. Gay marriage was only accepted for the Aristocats in that era too and only a small minority of people if they wanted to could get get a same sex marriage.
The Jews who were at first exposed to Greek culture from Alexander the Great Conquest of the holy land, to the Roman occupation of that region, the Jews saw that homosexuality against their religion. Later on the Christians adapted Jewish religious beliefs of homosexuality being taboo.
Eventually when the Roman emperor became Christian and then Christianity in the Roman empire became taboo throughout society.
Homosexuality remained taboo in society until a couple of decades ago.

This is legit my first time hearing him speak as himself. He's clearly annoyed by the context he's speaking about but is doing his best to just brush it off and make Homophobia seem like something that's just dumb, which is how I think we should treat it personally.
Shame we lost this guy, he was ahead of his time with his views.
@Chris Austin wut?
@Chris Austin What are you on about? Even in this weird theory you've blurted out Homophobia would still exist. It represents a mindset towards homosexuality which can clearly be observed.
@Chris Austin Ummmm, what?
Gay people have been murdered and seen as alien for thousands of years, homophobia is definitely a thing
Hmm ua-cam.com/video/UsY45loiqLI/v-deo.html
I agree with it but I don’t think he was THAT far ahead of his times, this was fairly recent considering how old homosexuality is

That's the point. If we go on tolerating agressivity against us it will b there. It has to b beaten, no matter what or who
Well it’s been a while since I’ve seen Heath. I always thought he was a really good guy. I didn’t get to know him personally but from the things that he said in the films that he made it just seems that way. And seeing this clip nine years later it really reinforces to me that I think he really was a great guy. I wish she was still around. I know life isn’t fair but it really wasn’t fair that he went too soon. He was a young man. With a young family that I know without him. And it saddens me. I grew up without my father. He died one month before I was born. So I and my siblings understand that type of loss.
It's unbelievable that Heath Ledger must defend the movie. People are obsessed with other people's sex lives.
indeed,but you can thank bigotry for that;religion predominantly.I personally find peoples sexuality boring;i mean who even cares? i don't assume anyone would be interested that i'm heterosexual y'know? it's silly really :D as long as it's happen ing between consenting adults it's cool.
I loved Heath's response. However, being "gay" has been shoved down society's throats lately. Nobody cares who you're sleeping with. You're gay...we get it.
@@anjpoteat nobody cares? Really? Many gays are being killed because they are gay. So STFU
@Kiki Dee When it stops being a problem politically and culturally, then the "obsessing" will be over...
That is the real question. Why are they concerned by what 2 adults do together?
The older gentleman was quoting those who are disgusted, not personally disgusted himself.

@@merhnab3141 You are lacking intelligence if you think that. There was no anger on his face. He was doing his job and asking a great question and he received a great response. This was 2005 when homophobia was rife. This film caused a huge stir around the world. I remember it well. The question he asked was exactly the sort of thing which many people were saying. e.g. ""I'm not going to see a movie about gay cowboys.. That's disgusting!"
@@riccali3519 Terrible read. I bet you suck at poker
@@merhnab3141 yes ... it’s a very frustrating ... I get that too dealing with the constant homophobia ... it continues to perpetuate ... there is no “end date”.

@@merhnab3141 you got baited by poor editing my guy
why was the question cut out? it makes it seem like the man asking the question claims that homosexuality in the movie is disgusting while he was actually asking what would heath tell the people who think it is disgusting, sort of trying to give him the opportunity to condemn the homophobia
Heath Ledger was a bright light in a dark place, sadly taken away too soon!
Like all of us
This only got recommended because he said epidemic and virus

He sure was more wise than his years. Too bad he’s gone.
Agreed. Great actor and seemed like a really good person as well

He really was. As a gay man I’ve got a whole new found respect for him. I always respected him as an actor but now as a human aswell what a gem. May he rest in peace.
We haven't seen the last of him. He'll be baaack.
Especially for his daughter
My mom took me to see Brokeback Mountain. She thought I was gay and this was her way of saying its ok. We had Heath as common. We loved him. Every movie he was in we went. My mother died a year before him.
@@islaptyadadsbooty Never had to. Everyone knew before it crossed my mind.
He was such a real man! Real men don't spend most of their life thinking about what other men do in the bedroom.
He really hit em with the “you can be homophobic in private just don’t flaunt your lifestyle in my face”
@Wisty Boy he's hardly being a hypocrite lol. He is literally counter attacking those closet gays that don't want it "shoved down their throats" -. Funny they should choose such wording isn't it.
@Evyatar Hadar according to the numbers? That's around 73% the case. So yes, quite the logic indeed.
@Heiliger Katholik there is a huge difference between "not liking" homosexuality, and being homophobic.
Homosexuals have no desire to create other homosexuals. Homophobes have a desire to create other homophobes. And they do that with homosexuals.
People who are not homosexual and aren't against it, just can't be bothered and will never become homophobes.
73% of homophobes (people who actively use their power to deny homosexuals their rights and freedoms) are estimated to have homosexual tendencies, and even come out later in life.
A certain head of a "conversion therapy church" in the US, was a perfect example of this a few years ago.
@Heiliger Katholik again. That does not mean all Saudi Arabians are homophobes.

He answered such an absurd question so politely. I remember watching this movie and crying during the ending , so beautifully made ❤️ My respect goes to the whole team who took such a daring step and made this movie.
What was the question?
Give your head a wobble
The question was edited to just show “this is digusting”. His whole question was “what do you say to people who say this is disgusting”
This is the best way you can put homosexuality into the forefront, "why do we have to discuss the disgust of people LOVING one another? shouldn't we discuss HATE and VIOLENCE towards one another?". Heath is the epitome of class, respect and humanity, I love and respect him like no other. 🙏💖
I thought it was a beautiful movie.
@@cc3184 I loved it too, though I watched it very recently, it was plainly beautiful!
Well then, what about digust towards incestous relationships? People can't say It's disgusting because It's "love"?
S t a r F a l l are you seriously comparing homosexuality to incest? If you’re going to be defending incest you should maybe reconsider certain life choices?
@@velovelo196 why the hell not, by his and your logic? "who do two ppl loving one another worry you?", etc etc. Incest is in that category too. Why are you prejudiced to siblings or first cousins being with each other then? Oh your moral/political views don't allow that?
Brokeback Mountain was one of my top 10 favorite films. I never get tired of watching it, and the music is absolutely wonderful. As a 100% Heterosexual man in a loving marriage since 1988 with 3 children and 2 grandchildren, I am offended when some of my friends look at me like I have 3 heads when I mention that it is one of my favorite films. No one has the right to judge another, if it hurts no one. Live and Let Live people, live and let live.
Randar well said sir!!!

Good Thought 👍🏻
Really wouldn't call them friends
Randy, Extremely well stated!!
Homophobia is like hating red telephones and then hating people who own red telephones.
Perfect!!!
I’ve always wondered why some people were/are so interested and even bothered by what 2 consenting adults are doing behind closed doors- if you really think about it, why does anyone care!?!?
Anyway, my 2 cents
muh homoephoewbia
what a wonderful reply ..good for you heath...
I showed Brokeback Mountain to a woman in her 60s, who was culturally quite homophobic. She watched it and in the end quite moved by the story, and feltt compassion and sorrow for Ledger's character. That is the power of art and movies, the ultimate empathy machine.
My feelings exactly.
Tv is a propaganda toll
Exactly more like ultimate liar machine for the ultimate liar the devil hahaha I don't hate homosexuals either but the tv is definitely not a tool for good it is a distraction that we all love
I couldn’t understand what the hell he was saying, his accent was so poor, there wasn’t enough of Anne Hathaway’s tits, and the whole movie was wasting its time. Gus Van Sant could’ve made a shorter movie and got the point across.
Stop calling me homophobic until you’re willing to admit you’re heterophobic.

ABSOLUTELY !
Now see this is a man who is 100% content with his sexuality. He knows who he is so there is zero need to tear someone down about who they choose to love. After all we all know what homophobia really says about a person. (In case anyone's confused it means they are not comfortable with their own sexuality).

jacktwist I mean back in the days when Jesus "existed" as some like to believe. They used to do a bunch of gay stuff. Would not surprise me if Jesus was a banana crammer.. it's cool nothing wrong with that
Heath pointed out the homophobia of these grandfathers as that what it is: boring and olden. "We don't want to know". Right.
Sir Larselot the reporter wasn’t homophobic lol he was asking a question based on what other people have stated about the movie.
@TheRenaissanceman65 , i really did but i just noticed my negligence after your intervention. I didn't realized that i didn't wrote the letter "s" after grandfather for the plural. I wanted to give my opinion about these ancient thoughts about homosexuality the reporter was asking for, that's from the times of our grandfathers. So i was misleading and you thought i meant the reporter. Thanks for pointing this out, i have corrected my writing failure. Shit happens.
@TheRenaissanceman65 no!!##
Do u know the name of the movie?
His comments sealed his fate. The larger your platform and increasing world influence (Dark Knight) and you position yourself against God, the Bible and nature, you will lose every time.
I love how he words this entire answer. He never missed a beat, homophobia is such a useless feeling too. There are so many other things to hate in this world that is hurtful or demoralizing.
You can definitely see and feel that opinion tug heartstrings from Heath as he tries to elaborate and seek out the words to say. What a wonderful human being!
I'm a straight while male with a wife and baby and I fully support this.
When he went into jacks childhood room, that was heart breaking. When he found the shirt and took it with him, and Jacks mom nods her head that it's ok, really sad. Heath and Jake did an excellent job.
GAGAGAGAGA I just disliked my own face because I am unpretty. HOWEVER: I always like my GOOD videos however. No dislikes allowed where I come from. Don't be mean, dear pat

Well said heath ledger, may you rest in peace sir
this got recommended to me somehow, maybe because i'm both a heath ledger fan and queer person. i paused my studying and music and watched in the moment i laid eyes on it. i was a bit anxious, but i ended up crying while watching it and reading some of the comments. this was so many years ago, and he spoke better than most people do nowadays about homosexuality. this man is truly a legend, and will live forever in our hearts. we lost him way too soon, yet that always seems to be the case with amazing people like him...
He’s a beautiful person. This makes him more beautiful.
Beautiful only on the outside
I guess you’re only able to recognize external beauty, for sure because he’s handsome. But you’re lacking when it comes to judging of character. Anybody that defends basic human rights and acts humanely is a beautiful person. Just in case you need to be taught the basics, there you go.
it's cold outside. that makes it cold.
@@wijny4222 The tiny difference between "this" and "that"
You mean was.
The thing about homosexuality, people always focus on sex. They never address the emotional component of two men in love which is no different to a man or woman in love, or two women. Nothing about it is unnatural, but again, people can only focus on sexual acts and the fact that nothing can be 'born' from gay relationships. People need to start seeing homosexuality more in line with the deepest bonds of friendship, instead of sex... and then nobody will be able to say it is unnatural.
Well said
Messylin; Too bad you weren't a spokesman for the doomed
cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Exactly!
i'm still struggling to understand exactly what the psychology is that causes people to feel homophobic and I think you hit the nail on the head, a lot of it has to do with sex, sex seems to be such a sensitive issue to all humans and seems to cause such a complex tangle of emotions, i'm not fully sure why that's the case with people and how it links with our evolution, but it seems to be the case
@@LATVERIAN1 Where is the evidence of that taking place?
I miss Heath Ledger.
AND when Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath did "Brokeback Mountain" and his they both upheld the movie, made me have much more respect for them as humans not just actors.
To love someone is not choice. To hate is.
Greetings from Mexico, I love what I am seeing on your profile. I apologize for jumping into your comment in such a way. I'm really looking forward to get to know you better. If you're comfortable with it, I'd love to talk somewhere outside the UA-cam comment section. and get to know each other a bit more intimately. What do you think?
The movie literally touched my heart and the ending of it was painfully emotional.
He appears to be so warm and soft and gentle and thoughtful, crazy to think about him playing this version of the joker. Truly a gem of a person, in every way
He was stunning..have you seen the film "10 things I hate about you". It's STUNNING young heath but still so beautiful ♥️
@@emmamillar8391 no i don't, thanks i will
What a refreshingly ‘unHollywood’ response, the guy just sounds so downright decent and chilled about the question. A great loss, gone far too soon.
Hollywood has always been liberal. Further, casting is all about who you know. Being politically savvy, diplomatic, and liberal is kind of the status quo for the industry. It’d be more un-Hollywood if he said “screw your opinion and this libtard movie I’m paid to promote/justify/defend”.
Anyway. Not trying to cheapen what he said, it was well spoken, but I wouldn’t exactly call it unbiased or un-Hollywood. It’s not like he said Taiwan was a country or anything
There’s literally nothing more Hollywood than coming out and voicing some liberal opinion on sexuality lol
@@jacknelson5094 and challenging a reporter like this? Surprisingly rare.
Unhollywood?
He was a true blue Aussie :) can't be tainted by Hollywood
I miss this darling man.
I can’t believe he played the Joker.
You would never have thought it. What an actor
Brokeback Mountain was one of the most beautiful, heart wrenching movies I have ever seen.
@Brazilian Goddess It’s more of a romantic drama, I would say. As a person who doesn’t typically like romance movies, or westerns, I still really liked the movie.
@Brazilian Goddess I rewatched it yesterday, the second time after it came out in 2005, it's a good movie that marked me!!
@Brazilian Goddess ah you're missing out on good cinema avoiding romance like that, often romance is just a part of it, like in The Count of Monte Cristo, a revenge film but the romantic scenes are so sweet and well done.
@Brazilian Goddess Aw awesome no worries , it's a great watch :) (if you want to really get into it watch the 1934 version as well as the 2002), the adventure and romance go hand in hand, try to avoid thinking that you're putting up with one for the other. Genres are like stereotypes, they're not all the same! Gotta have an open mind! Thought saying that I tried to get into some proper old westerns but definitely found martial arts more enjoyable:))
@Brazilian Goddess - Yours is an interesting reply; it made me laugh. And I'm gay. Thank you!
Also i am truly impressed with his intelligence-how he mentioned in comparison :: “...should people not discuss hate amongst people rather than love...” i know i did not quote that perfectly nevertheless point is still valid. He was a smart man
Absolutely agree, that comment should be repeated and acted upon. 👍🏻
He was diverting the question with a question.
@@samanthapeters8314 that is true (diplomatic/debate tactic) though it does make you think about that-logically speaking, if you discuss love with criticism then you have to discuss hate with as much criticism.
@@samanthapeters8314 he provided a thorough 2 minute long speech about his mindset on this topic lmao there was no diversion, this one line raised a very rhetorical question that actually supported his reasoning and was a thought-provoking message to add
@David McFrost ahh, another paranoid snowflake looking for any chance to start an argument over his bad opinions lmao
Well said. I specifically where he said we should be more worried about people hating each other rather than people loving each other. So true. The reality is that we put way too much focus on Gay/lesbian, gender, etc. We should all just love each other. We are individuals but we are all the human race, regardless of gender, sexuality, religion, colour of skin or nationality. We need to stand together, always.
it still amazes me how people have to shout their opinion about something so private an individual as it is love. Each one loves in different ways and forms, and that is wonderful. People who hates...is because they have a problem and want to spit it out to the rest of us. Change hate by love and spit that love out
I am filled with an enormous, unspeakable sadness whenever I think of Heath Ledger and the long and brilliant career that lay ahead of him.

Unfortunately not that long though as he was in the Hollywood studio system. Maybe another 20 years. Hollywood doesn’t treat their elder statesmen with much dignity, it’s very ageist, the sophistication drops away and they’re forced into self parody type roles. Completely different from European film.
@@rhettpeter83thats a bit extra
I as well. I could see his level of acting making him one of the most admired and accomplished people in the movie industry. I was looking forward to what he was going to do. But I mostly miss that he was a good man.
He said it right: shouldn’t be be voicing our opinions on hate and not love? Who someone sleeps with is no ones business because we know you’re unhappy in your own relationship or just trying to make it to the next day.
If it's nobody's business, then why are they making movies about it? Why is homosexuality being shoved down society's throat constantly? Just keep your sexual behavior to yourself. Nobody cares. Yet homosexuals feel the need to impose their alternative lifestyles on everyone else. THAT is the bore.
@@RedRover-mx7sd that just doesn’t happen tho... everyone is conditioned to think straight is “normal” and homosexuality is “wrong”, if you’re so bothered then turn away, being a homophobic, generalising prick is nothing to be proud ab lad
@@RedRover-mx7sd no❤️
@@RedRover-mx7sd If you feel like a romance movie about two men is "shoving it down youre throat" than whats youre stance on heterosexual romance movies it should be the same right?
"Why is homosexuality being shoved down society's throat constantly?" Umm it isn't. The LGBT community is simply trying to portray love stories. If I see a movie and the couple is heterosexual I don't feel like heterosexuality being shoved down my throat. Stop being scared you can't catch "being gay". If you don't like homosexuality then don't watch the movie.
Pretty simple solution.
People need to understand that their beliefs only restrict them. Not others. They need to learn the difference.
Don’t know why this got recommended to me right now but it reminds me of the last time I watched the movie a year ago, which was the first time I had seen it since it first came out on dvd. I realized how good of a movie it is. The acting, the writing, the shots, it was such a good movie, and the fact that it was about a gay love affair is incidental.
I didn't think I could love him any more than I do and I'm not even gay. That was a wise man speaking, listen up people.

@@plottwist6584 Mythical sky god says what?
I wish I had seen the movie to determine if anyone really had a good reason for calling it “disgusting”
I remember when me and my friends decided to watch this movie for a laugh at my friends house about 15 years ago now. It only got to about 30 minutes into the movie where i stopped joking around with my mates and actually got intensely watching the movie. After watching it i felt like a whole new person. I cant believe that i was such a prick when i was younger and all the people who have suffered from my horrendous homophobia i send my blessings to.
About a week later i got new friends who where amazing and im still in contact with to this day but in my then new friend group i met a guy named adam. Adam also used to be pretty homophobic until he matured as he grew older but he was the one who actually made me realise i was bisexual. We have been in a relationship now for what feels like forever. We moved in with each other about 2 years ago now and were planning to get married! Honestly if it wasnt for this movie i would probably be in a horrible state right now and i cant even begin to imagine what further damage i could of coursed for the others around me. Sorry if this comment doesnt really make sense as im really bad with my words and i cant express how grateful i am for this movie and what an impact it had on my life.🙏
Edit: its only been a month since i wrote this comment but it was 2 days ago now where me and Adam went to Disney world where he proposed to me! Were going to plan out the wedding when we get back but we are chilling in Paris currently. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us!
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing. xx
Good for you , so glad you found the one 😍
That is absolutely beautiful I’m so happy you found happiness and love and all that good stuff
That's actually a really beautiful report! 👏 😍
Fantastic. Sometimes you have to stick around. I have friends like Adam. ;)
His words are so sweet 🤍 Yes it’s true that is the love story between two men . It’s not disgusting at all
