Another beautiful masterpiece from Ang Lee

Rating: Null/10 (23 March 2006)

I have been waiting to watch this film for months. And when I finally watched it, I was so moved.
The plot itself was very touching. Acting was excellent too. Jake Gyllenhaal's soft side and Heath Ledger's rough side were displayed in the film. The shock of Michelle Williams when she saw the two guys making out was very memorable. The ending was so touching. If you don't know what was happening, then you should read the book. The book gives you a clearer idea of what happened in the end.
The cinematography was also excellent. The scenery itself was very impressive too. I felt I was watching the National Geographic! I found that this film was not just a 'gay' film, but it also explored the issues of homosexuality as a social taboo, and how homosexuals live under pressure imposed by the society and by themselves as a result of the societal pressure. I am so glad that this film was made, and that it is making a great impact all around the world. This film deserves every praise there is!
