Kudos to HBO for showing Brokeback Mountain this Saturday, 11th August at 9 pm:
http://www.hbosouthasia.com/southasia/movie/1892 It will be censored, of course, but then Ang Lee was so tasteful about the sex that there really won't be much to cut. The film release in India only had a few cuts and ironically most of these were of the heterosexual sex scenes. I think the only gay scenes cut were of the shot where they jump naked into the water and an early one where Ennis is bathing in the stream and Jack tries not to look at him. For TV they'll probably cut a couple of the kisses which will be sad, but they can hardly cut enough to alter the story. And they certainly won't cut the scene at the end with the shirts and the film is worth watching just for that. So get out your handkerchiefs and keep Saturday night aside. And tell all your gay friends, and your straight friends too, if they need convincing that two men can fall in love, Vikram
