A Perfect Insight into human character and emotional struggle

Rating: 10/10 (23 February 2006)

A masterpiece of situation and emotional analysis. Seeing the movie takes you back to the emotional uproar of your own emotions, makes you remember what you went through in a similar situation. A dive into melancholy and nostalgia supported by the perfect scenery and great soundtrack. The performances of Ledger and Gyllenhaal are unprecedented: Very natural and very pragmatic. Ledger's emotional struggle between own desire and what society imposes is a landmark and a milestone of performance. Gyllenhaal's character on other side gives another side of the coin. Ledger is the scared person who does not dare to accept his reality and Gyllenhaal is the revolutionary, ready to give everything up for what he believes, for what he feels. A presentation of human values long forgotten. A milestone in the cinematic history of homosexual love. A must see.
