One of the most overrated movies of this decade!

Rating: 1/10 (2 March 2006)

Motivated by the tons of good reviews of Brokeback Mountain and the man behind it (Ang Lee, of the fantastic Sense and Sensibility and Crouching Tiger...) i watched Brokeback mountain...
My god! I'm totally surprised by the hype surrounding this movie! BM is a simple, slow paced, predictable love story. OK, its a gay love story but who cares? Just change the sexual orientation of a character gives a movie all that status? OK, now i will begin to make Gay films and won some Oscars! Speaking seriously, Brokeback Mountain is an ordinary and boring movie. The strong sex scenes with famous actors and convincing roles gave this movie all that notoriety and media but, looking on the neutral movie fan prism, the movie lacks content and power.
There's a WHOLE bunch of amazing pictures in 2005 like Cinderella Man, Constant Gardener, Capote, Syriana, Good Night and Good Luck and, specially, Crash. It's a shame, but this poor movie (Brokeback Mountain) will take the Oscar...
Trust me, if you want a good movie, skip this one.
