Great love movie, not just a great gay movie.

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2006)

I set out to see this movie just recently partially because of the hype and curiosity. I was actually expecting an average love story ,only well... gay themed. But i was surprised as how much real love and passion is in it, and real people, not those flamboyant gays or that regular love stuff. The love between those guys really does look real. And i don't just mean the kissing scenes and the alone time those two spent, but also the reactions of the characters surrounding them. Michelle (Enis's ex-wife) just seems heartbroken when she sees Jack and Ennis kissing, but we get the feeling that she feels just as betrayed if it were a woman Ennis was cheating on. The affair seems genuine, scratch that, the relationship seems true, but with borders heterosexual couples wouldn't face, which adds originality to the movie and plot, but also drama, and more compassion for the characters. Great acting, great script, dialoge, and directing.
