Would have been a better short

I have to start by saying that there is one very distinct problem with this movie. No its not what you think, the topic of the film is what it is (not that there's anything wrong with that..) and that is not the problem. The problem with this film is the length of the movie. It doesn't have nearly enough to cover and so it drags out just to make up for the fact that they don't have enough material. If the movie was made to be a short, perhaps 30 - 40 minutes everything could have been covered and it would have been just fine. But as a full length feature it was as though they said, well we don't know what to do next so talk slow, and show a lot of environmental shots to fill in some of the time maybe people won't notice.
The acting was good, but Ang Lee should stick to what he is good at... action films.

Funny that you mentioned the shorter idea because it was originally a short story. I didn't know if you knew that or not. A really good read if you ever have an hour. I can see what you say about it being drawn out but some of those shoots that make it a little longer are just breath taking.
P.S. I am not gay even though that last line makes it sound like I am.
