Sarah Jessica Parker allowed her 3 year-old son (child, also, of Matthew Broderick) to watch parts of Brokeback Mountain. “He said, ‘Mama I’ve been hearing a lot about a movie lately.’ I said, ‘What movie?’ and he said ‘Brokeback Mountain. I’ve heard it’s about two cowboys. I would like to watch it tonight.’ I didn’t want to deny him, because I didn’t want to set up some idea about what’s bad, because of the subject matter….So we found an 18 minute segment he could watch. The next day he hugged his nanny and he wouldn’t let go and he said, ‘That is like the two cowboys in Brokeback Mountain!’”
