Incredibly moving movie

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2005)

When I went to this everybody applauded after, and they applauded when the director's name came up, and for Jake's name, and Heath's name. And after that I was in the restroom and I just started crying, spontaneously, I was so moved by the entire movie, and that was due to the story, the directing, and Heath and Jake. Heath is for me the new James Dean, the vulnerability he is able to show on screen is so like James Dean in "East of Eden," it breaks your heart. Jake as well. In a year of incredible performances from Phillip Seymour Hoffman to Joaquin Phoenix to Eric Bana, Heath is my choice for the Oscar. Ang Lee will win Best Director, there is no way anyone can ignore the masterpiece this movie is. And it is not a "gay story," it is a love story. I am going to see it again next week. The only other movie I saw many times was "Titantic." I'll never forget Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar ever, just like I'll never forget Jack and Rose.
