Though possibly true and though ya know I loves ya more than my luggage, that comment was below the belt. But, he opened the door by dispensing his views and you just walked through it - albeit you stomped through it
As for what he said, I agree that it is too sugary for me, but for probably different reasons than you think it is. My reason is I, as an affluent and well educated white male from an old Southern family, never needed nor sought anyone to look up to in that capacity, though I admired many people for their talent, La Nicks is a good example. I just found and mostly still find all the strength I needed or need right here in my own body. Moreover, I have never aspired to be anyone's role model, but I am sure that just because of the better things I have done in my public life like teaching underpriviledged kids, giving school supplies to the poor, and countless other chraitable stuff - some may have looked to me as just that. But, maybe the ideal the Brian set forth will save some weaker kid's life - maybe I did that unknowingly through those acts - and that can be nothing but a good thing no matter how pow wow or trite it comes across.
As for BB Mountain, I do not see that film as any type of positive role model because they lived a lie. I suppose it could be seen in the light of the times and as a lesson that times have, for the most part, vastly changed for the better so that Jack and Ennis likely could have been together in this day and age.
