I never saw Brokeback Mountain but I have it on good authority it's a good film.
"Power of the Dog" is from a novel. It's more than just the sum of its parts or its not-hetero-normative shock value. Going in I had no idea what it was about but I really like the acting of the three leads. Their work on the Fargo TV was fantastic!
About halfway through, the gay thing is an "aha" moment. I was going holy shit, do we have a Brokeback Mountain thing going on here?!
It was quite a while before I could know for sure. It's a fantastic film, IMO. The slow pace reminds me of Once Upon a Time in the West, maybe the best Sergio Leone spaghetti western. It's 3 hours long and features a menacing Henry Fonda, dressed in black. Love it.
I'll bet that was the actual pace of life then, punctuated by violence. That's what POD is like to watch.
What Scott said about rolling up a bunch of sympathetic themes into similar movies is not wrong. It's sort of the Grateful Dead method. Make a hundred...

This is how movies should be. This is a disaster genre, an EMP or some shit has screwed GPS and a lot of other stuff. There are no dudes tied to a chair in this film and you genuinely don't know where it's going as you watch. I give it an A.
If I paid to watch this, I would be very satisfied. Maybe Hollywood can have a renaissance. @ScottAdamsSays
