It's a good movie, but...

Rating: 7/10 (1 April 2006)

Yesterday I saw Brokeback mountain, and sure, it is a good movie, but not an extraordinary one. I don't see the fuss this movie has risen all over. Up points: The gay topic is told with respect, and quite normally. It's the common love story, but where lovers are both males. Photography is astonishing, with broad angles and breathtaking landscapes. Down points: There is some abuse of landscapes. The big fault to me lies in the time line: while Twist and Del Mar have kids, they don't look like significantly older, even after years of hard work by Mr Del Mar. Mr Twist grew a mustache, and that should be it, says Ang Lee. It's a good movie to watch, but it won't go to my favorites.
