If I understand 42 correctly, he's not saying that those *words* imply it, but that the people *using* those words imply it. And yes, I'm going to have to say that those words in reference to this subject are most often used to excuse behavior and enforce an acceptance of it. I'm not saying this is *always* the case. Just most often.
And I have heard advertising for it that explicitly states that you *should* see it.
Every serious Oscar type movie has advertising that tells you that "You have to see this movie." It's just standard advertising rhetoric. Even commercial films such as "Austin Powers" (which is by far more morally objectionable than anything in "Brokeback Mountain") features that sort of thing on it's ads.
The bottom line about this movie is, see, or don't. I don't see why so many people have to make such a big deal about whether or not they are going to see it or not. It is just a movie.
