 Fri Mar 03, 2006 5:41 pm 'Brokeback' Star Slammed by Former School |
|
| IMDB.COM wrote: | | Brokeback Mountain actress Michelle Williams has been disowned by her former school because of her role in the controversial gay cowboy romance. Williams, who attended exclusive Santa Fe Christian School in San Diego, California, has been blasted by the school's headmaster as "offensive" for acting the long-suffering wife of a homosexual ranch hand, played by Heath Ledger. Jim Hopson has branded the Oscar nominee a poor role model, and hopes his education establishment won't be linked to the film's themes. He tells the San Diego Union Tribune, "We don't want to have anything to do with her in relation to that movie. Michelle doesn't represent the values of this institution. Brokeback Mountain basically promotes a lifestyle we don't promote." |
Good Riddence I would say. It just show's how uptight one can be. It was acting.

I can understand where the school is coming from, not that I agree with it. Anyway, the person that Williams portrayed in the film was a victim of her husband's life style. They (the school administration) should probably watch it first.

That's just a little extreme...I didn't even know she went to a Christian school. I never would have associated her with one, and announcing that they are disowning her is just going to draw negative attention to them. o.O

Just out of curiosity, did they eat pudding in that movie?
