Hmmmm....

I have to say overall I wasn't as impressed with Brokeback Mountain as I expected to be. Sure it was a great movie but I just didn't grasp the story like I expected to. The acting was superb everything felt real, the forbidden romance... but I've seen this already in other movies, mainly Romeo and Juliet. Only this time it's Romeo and Jecht, which I don't find there to be any problem with but I guess I was going in expecting too much. There really wasn't an epic story, more it was a story of secrets. Both character's lives fell apart because of each other but something about this movie felt so empty. I am but a humble reviewer, out of all of the people that I know that have seen this only one was completely in love with it. It'll be something I throw in every now and then, but I think I'll just stick to my R&J. See this if you haven't, it really is a good movie, it just didn't feel that... "fresh" to me.
