"One tender moments reprieve from loneliness can illuminate a life"

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2006)

Very rarely if never do i ever watch a film twice. But this film was different, it has been surrounded by such media attention calling it the "gay cowboy movie" and trying to categorise it as just another gimmicky gay film, destined for low praise and irrelevance.
BUT THIS IS SO WRONG!!! from the off set, the sheer rawness of the film strikes you, their are no bells and whistles, just 2 excellent actors (Gylenhaal & Ledger) and one heck of a mountain. It is the unexpected rawness of their emotions and the bond they form that will touch your heart and bring tears to your eyes. It isn't for the gay cowboy in you, but more for anyone who has faced forbidden love, felt lonely in love, life or have lost their way in the world.
coupled then with an amazing soundtrack that tweaks at the emotions perfectly it is sure that this film really get inside of you.
I can honestly say that this film has quite simply been one of the most beautiful and moving, with such sadness and tragedy.i have ever seen.
PLEASE PLEASE go and see this film, you will leave a different person, this film really does touch you and it has had rather effected me.(in a good way)
So as i stop now from my first post on IMDb, i plead with you. please please go and see Brokeback Mountain.... I'm now off to by my second ticket... it still on advance screening over here lol.
