A surprisingly breathtaking film

Rating: 10/10 (9 February 2006)

I went to the cinema not really knowing what to expect; or to put it in other words, i had a wrong concept of the film: i thought i was going to watch "that gay cowboy film", totally overrated (as many movies that are nominees for the Oscars are). My thought just before the film started was: "it will win the Oscar for sure, just because it's about gay people". The first half an hour, just as the characters were slowly introduced and there were beautiful scenes of Brokeback mountain, i was anxious to watch their first encounter; i wanted to know whether it would be explicit, or how this unlikely relationship was going to be developed. But after this first sexual encounter finished, the plot started to develop and all I wanted to do was know more about each of the characters and how the story went on. However, I thought that it wasn't until the last line (said by Ennis Del MAr) is said that i could understand how lovely the movie was. And after i came out of the cinema, i couldn't stop thinking about the movie. All in all, i 'd like to say that all the characters were played brilliantly, but specially the main ones. I will never forget Ennis del mar. i really think that "Brokeback Mountain" is Oscar material
