Oscars for everyone!

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2006)

Oscars for acting, direction, screenplay, photography are all deserved. Also the set designs are crucial showing the lower class Ennis and the upper class Jack in their milieu. The music is good and if there is one criticism I have is that the actors do not age very well over the years. I don't know if this is the fault of the makeup or what but Ennis & Jack look pretty much the same throughout the movie. Knowing the cowboys in real life - they do not age very well and often become quite unattractive. But Heath & Jake look hot the whole time. I also thought Anne Hathaway was a hoot - she definitely changed over the length of the movie becoming blonder and blonder. This is a jewel of a movie - a miracle really - a classic love story - one that should last throughout time.
