It hits the bottom of your heart

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2006)

Being a movie which is rated R in States and having a controversial theme which talks about unrecognised love in most of countries worldwide, Brokeback Mountain does make itself extraordinary like the weather Ennis and Jack had in Brokeback Mountain. Ang Lee is a director who pays a lot of attention to details, not only the soundtrack of the music but the details of the emotional and verbal part of the movie. The movie starts with the word 'sh*t' (UK version, sound excluded), ended with 'Jack, I swear...'. The montage at the last meet of Ennis and Jack makes all the past twenty years even miserable. How could they love each other so much that they could stand the same mountain and activities only 2-3 times a year? Yet it's not only about the forbidden love (used-to-be). In 'Friends', that Ross married a lesbian is a sense of humor. Here, when we saw what happened to Alma when she discovered and how she tried to rescue their marriage. It's such a miserable thing to admit that we have to live under the masks.
The scenes shoot at Brokeback are incredibly beautiful and the whole cast is quite successful especially with the couple Heath and Michelle. It gets more intense in the later half of the movie since you know the reality is always worse than our thoughts. It is a sad love story with a powerful ending. Everything stops there at the right time to hit the bottom of your heart without touching it. You'd cry aloud but couldn't do so because you are trapped into the deep thoughts about your own life/relationship or whatever. Will you keep your commitment? Time will tell. One of greatest love movies in the last ten years. One of the best gay love stories has ever been told on screen. It is a movie you shouldn't miss if you accept the diversity of the society.
