Jay-Z Views "Brokeback Mountain"

February 23, 2006 11:00 a.m. EST

Felicia Willis - All Headline News Staff Writer

(AHN) - Rap moguls enjoy Academy Award nominated movies, too – at least that’s the excuse Jay-Z can use to explain why he was spotted in a movie theater watching “Brokeback Mountain,” the tale of two gay cowboys who are sent to a mountain in search of work as sheepherders.

With his money, Hova should be able to get a screening copy to view in his home. No word on whether Bouncy (Beyonce) attended the movie with him.

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's gonna be all right
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is everything's gonna be all right..

This was too funny.
Grazie for the news, dude.

"I loved it. Shocking. Surprising. The guy who financed my movie did that too. He's a very mild mannered chap from Minnesota and we'd just screened the latest cut of my film and he asked if I wanted to see it. I was thinking, 'OK, this really square, straight guy,' and he showed me this movie. It's amazing.

I find it ridiculous rather than funny that they said ...the excuse Jay-Z can use to explain why he was spotted in a movie theater watching “Brokeback Mountain as if a black straight rapper needs an excuse to go watch a movie about two men in love, he might just be interested in it cause he heard it is a great movie no matter whether it's about a straight, bi, gay, human love story. Sometimes I found news reports very disappointing and sad and full of prejudices...  >:(

   Yeah, the "reporter" put a homophobic twist on it, made it the focus of the story. Do we need to hear her speculation that he might need an excuse? She's just displaying her ignorance.

The fact is: That Brokeback Mountain has helped to change the world.  We can change the world.  We really can.  We really are.  When the world is made better for one gay or lesbian person, it's better for everyone.    Ang Lee
