Another power of love

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 2006)

I had a chance to see Brokeback Mountain last night. The result was I have fallen for the movie. I think that the movie simply tells another love story but this time it chooses to focus on love that happens between 2 men under a circumstance of tough lives and massively limited acceptance from the society. Nevertheless, the story is not somehow considered a forbidden love.
There are so many scenes in the movie that were so captivating and made me cry considering by magnificent and talented performances of the main characters showing animal desire and reluctant feelings of hesitantly knowing yourself and their what-is-the-right-thing-to-do justifications. While supporting roles like their wives who are unintentionally victimized by the can't-help-it bond of manhood also help oppress this contradictory love amongst the concerned parties. Even though many have found the portrayal develops in a slow move but as the movie goes by, most feel that it constantly reveals stronger and clearer symbol that ultimately takes you to the climax of the movie.
The element of the movie powerfully repeats the fact that "your heart is an uncontrollable organ of your body" and "love can happen between any different race, any different religion and of course between the same sex".
Brokeback Mountain is not really talking about sex between 2 guys but it is about love between 2 human beings. This equates to "love is a force of nature".
If you give it a shot by not discriminating against gay people or not over-imagining that this is a guy on guy porno, this movie is another heartbreaking, tragically devastating love story that will make you feel very emotional. In my opinion, the final scene where Ennis says " Jack, I swear." is the most painful moment of the movie.
I personally rate the movie for an A. If asked why ? it' s because of 2 things; 1. As a gay man, this love story hurts so bad. 2. As a moviegoer, this flick hurts so good!
