Cowboys..A true love story.

Yes I like many of my classmates before me had a difficult time trying to get through the first part of this movie. Not so much for the sex between men (sex is sex) but between these two very masculine men. Not only are their characters but there real-life personal persona's as well.

Also besides the sex, THERE WAS NO DIALOGUE!! It drove me nuts. I kept staring at the screen, thinking "say something".

However after the initial sexual encounter (which was meant to shock and awe, and evoke the feelings that I'm sure most in the class felt), and the lack of a script, this movie was an endearing love story. (sorry I'm a romantic)

I was really waiting for someone to contract HIV or die from AIDS before the credits rolled and was pleasantly surprised (this makes me sound demented) to see that it was violence that led to Twists death. This highlighted the horrible end that many face for their decisions, due to intolerance, opposing views, or downright ignorance. But putting death aside the hate that consumes families, and the willingness to toss human beings aside is eye-opening. We all are aware of its existence, but this movie gives us a front row ticket.
