Wow...

Rating: 10/10 (11 December 2005)

I'm a liberal guy living in NYC and also a total independent movie whore...but when my roommates were so excited about Brokeback Mountain, I honestly did not want to see it. I mean, gay cowboys???
This is not a gay cowboy movie though--it's one of the all-time best romance movies ever. I should say tragic romance stories. There is this sense of impossibility to Jack and Ennis' relationship that gives you a knot in your stomach--they both understand that their relationship is a once-in-a-lifetime love, and yet they can't be together...so sad, and so powerful that I can't get the movie out of my head even two days after having seen it.
You need to see this movie. I promise, even if you are much more conservative than I am, it will change how you think about gay people...
