RUN, don't walk, to Brokeback Mountain

Rating: 10/10 (10 December 2005)

Having the extreme fortune to actually get a ticket for one of the sold out NY screenings, all I have to say is that this is what classic cinema is all about. This is actually the first time that I can say that not only did I see a film that did the book justice, it was actually better than I have ever imagined. Everything was shot perfectly, the scenery was magnificent, the music was fitting, & the acting really blew me away. Heath Ledger earned himself an Oscar nomination for this role, just like all the critics said, but lets not leave out Jake Gyllenhaal; he also gave one hell of a performance & deserves to get recognition as well. I believe that if Mid-America would drop their guard & actually see the film for what it is, they will have a complete change of heart. Don't limit this movie to female or gay audiences, this is a film that everyone should have a chance to experience.
