This movie will be part of you forever

Rating: 10/10 (12 April 2008)

I avoided seeing this movie when it came out. I thought I would be uncomfortable seeing it with my husband, and I don't like sad movies. Then I ended up on plane where it was being shown. I thought - ah well may as well watch a bit of it while I chew my plastic chicken. That decision changed my life forever.
My whole life will be divided into before Brokeback and after Brokeback. It quite literally changed my life. I was rocked to my core. The movie took over my head and my heart and I will never be the same. No movie has ever or will ever impact on me like this.
You don't even think about the fact they are men. The love scenes are some of the most beautiful ever.
Heath is absolutely brilliant in this but on further viewing Jake Gyllenhaal blows you away. He is the more comfortable with his sexuality of the two but still a rough cowboy.
I can't say much more about it because I am still shellshocked, ages after seeing the movie. But see it at your own risk. Your life will be poorer if you don't see it, but if you do, prepare to be blown off your axis.
