Yes.. 500km to the nearest cinema! How painful could that be? Well, it is the sad reality our Saudi friends are suffering from and I fully understand why, especially after new releases like Brokeback Mountain!
I personally enjoyed the movie (Brokeback Mountain), which narrates a touching tale of endless love between two gay cowboys and would love to watch the Saudi film one day!!

Can't you just see "Brokeback Mountain" being played in Saudi? If of course Saudi had a Movie Theater.
BTW is the star of this film, Tareq Al-Hussaini, a relation of yours??
LOL! Nope.. he isn't!!
It was a touching tail... oops, I mean tale...
Is it showing in Bahrian?? I know we got a copied version.
I enjoyed the movie but I liked the scenery best.... and since it was told from the viewpoint of the 1960s, it could be believable altho there are many who hated it and said it was nothing like 'true reality'. But.. to each their own? eh?

I do think it's about time tho that the world opens up and sees life for all that it is, even tho many disagreed w/ the movie. I thought the movie was sad, and it's sad that gays are so ill-treated today.

Let's rework your last sentence.
Before:
I thought the movie was sad, and it's sad that gays are so ill-treated today.
After:

(Without viewing the movie I'll assume); The cowboys are not portrayed as successful, happy, celebrated or part of the mainstream of society. That's a Debbie Downer right there.. The movie is not really about gay cowboys though. It's about
