A beautifully done film.

Rating: 10/10 (8 February 2006)

I saw this film a few weeks ago and intend to see it again. I read the book before i saw the film but i was not all that impressed with the story. However i still wished to see the film and i found that it was so well done and captured the true essence for as to what the story was about. I found that the movie did not project a gay image but showed a true love story that was neither corny or pointless. The performances were undeniably, and i have never seen a film in which Heath Ledger has done a better job than in this one. He absorbed the role of Ennis Del Mar wonderfully and captured the most important part of who Ennis was. Jake Gyllenhaal's performance was wonderfully done also. he brought laughter to the more serious parts of the movie without destroying what the movie is about. He said the things that Ennis could not. I have now bought the story and i have a much greater love for it than i did originally. I have every intention of buying this film when it is released on DVD.
