While we can respect Larry McMurtry's point of view, we came away from Brokeback Mountain with a completely different message than the screenwriter's tidy summation a far more rambling and sissy-friendly analysis that likens life to a one-person line dance in a moutainside meadow filled with sparkly (though empty inside due to unresolved father-son dynamics) sheep. Still, the beauty of a great piece of art such as Brokeback Mountain is that it's really open to any issues interpretations you might bring to it.
