I noticed that Heath was at the Golden Globes with the actress who played his wife in the movie. In the entertainment shows where they talk about GG fashions, they referred to them as a couple, but I don't know if they meant because they came together or if they are really a couple. Does anyone know. I would guess that they are just friends. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this question.

What I really liked about this movie is how the director, writers, and actors made you care about the characters because they allowed us to get to know them, especially Ennis. I liked all the subtle elements thrown in for that purpose. For example, Ennis and his daughter's scenes were great for me because while they kind of seemed insignificant, they really allowed you to know more about Ennis and how he relates with other people he loves who are obviously very important to him, like his daughter (could have been my dad and me). That's what I think makes great storytelling...subtle hints to a character's personality, not because it is important to plot, but because it is important for the audience to know a character before we can care what happens.

Heath and Michelle Williams just recently had a child together. They met on the set, and had a baby, although I don't think they are married or know if they are going to be. They are a couple, own a home together and share a child.

Yes, Rache, and I recently saw him on late night TV and he talked glowingly of both Michelle and the new baby. Sounded like they are very happy.

It was a much better movie than I thought it would be. I left the theater tonight teary-eyed and wishing that I knew how Jack actually died but knowing that Ennis was probably right in guessing that someone had beat Jack to death. Very sad love story. I will for sure watch it again on DVD. I enjoyed the scenery & the acting and when I watch it here at home on the big screen I will be able to hear everything Ennis (Heath) says. A couple of times I couldn't make out what he said because of noise behind me (people talking).

saw it yesterday. it was a quite moving film. different from anything i've seen in a long time. it didn't make me cry or anything...that was a nice change. i did really think it had a good story to it. i guess living in the era that we do today, even though there is still homo-phobia and hate crimes toward gays, it really was that prominent back then. they had to fear for their lives. wow. and i hadn't even considered that ennis might have taken the ashes out of the closet...i only saw the blood-stained shirt as well. also thought, jack's wife's answer about the flat tire sounded too rehearsed, and that ennis just somehow knew jack's fate. one more thing, i was impressed with anne hathaway's performance as jack's wife. i'd only seen her in the princess diaries and other disney movies until now. this was a big jump for her. i thought she was impressive.

I loved this movie, well done. I was so glad that I didnt read the spoilers, cause I had no idea what the ending was, and I cryed my eyes out. Just another example of people that dont live to the fullest, because of what others think, and you dont have to be gay to fall into that trap..... for me, this was more than a movie about two gay cowboys, and more about how society messes with peoples lives every day and keeps people from living happy full lives because of other peoples stupid hangups... I left the show angry, and very moved... great show....

i haven't seen it, but i know my sister didn't care for it. she said it wasn't a love story, or the one guy wouldn't have picked up a male prostitute in mexico when his love had to babysit his own kids at the time they normally met. she didn't care for it at all. my niece didn't like it either. my neighbor and her husband saw it and said it was "okay, but not great." i think i would prefer the book and then the movie. i have read the spoilers (still have no idea what the ending is, though) and i am surprised that all the tvchers (at least those who have taken time to post about it!) have loved it and people i know in 'real life' don't! and the dislike is not a 'gay' thing. my sister's b-i-l was gay and died of AIDS and my sister loved him and took care of him when he was dying. she just didn't think the movie was a 'love story' as much as a 'sex' story.

Well, I did not like it at all! I was not going to see it, but after reading the good reviews here I thought I would give it a chance. I found the whole thing to be disturbing and not just about the gay part. Seemed no one was faithful to anyone in the movie. I felt really sorry for the wife with the 2 little girls. Especially the first time she saw the two guys kissing. She was deeply hurt. Plus the movies was so slow! I am one of those that likes action movies, but I do like dramas, too. Then again I hated the movie Bridges over Madison County. Guess I do not care for movies about adultery.

hated brokeback. couldn't even watch into the first sex scene. blech. i guess the good thing is it answers the question of whether watching two guys together would be a turn on for me LOL... j/k, but how often have we heard that 2 girls together are a turn-on for guys?

I think the female Queer as Folk fans (and they are large in number) have confirmed that some of us do think seeing two guys is a turn on. Believe me, it was a surprise to me!

I'm not saying it's for everyone, but don't knock it till you've tried it. I was suprised as ever when I got hooked on Queer as Folk. But Kitt is right!

Add me to the two guys club. I am one of the women surprised at how much I enjoyed Brian/Justin scenes in Queer as Folk. Now nothing surprises me too much.
