The Last Temptation Of Hollywood: Brokeback Mountain
By Doug Patton
December 19, 2005
Page 2 of 2
Why is Hollywood so out of touch with America? Because, with a few notable exceptions, it is populated with shallow, vacuous people whose personal lives are a train wreck. They live in a bubble. Their wealth and celebrity seem to insulate them from the consequences of their actions. They feed each other's narcissism at all the most fashionable parties and never venture beyond the borders of their make-believe world.
It is not hard to understand why those of us who believe in faith, family and fidelity, and who find movies like "Brokeback Mountain" offensive, look like freaks to them.
