Brokeback Mountain

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2006)

The printed story is just as compelling as the movie. Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar, two cowboys portrayed by Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger in the film. I personally think it's going to be an American Classic and anyone who disagrees should just notice the awards this movie has already garnered. The only problem is that it isn't available everywhere in every theater. The plot, is nicely done to flow with Annie Proulx's story. The acting is wonderfully done by Gyllenhaal and Ledger and the themes, music, and ideas are simply splendid. I think this movie goes to show the struggles faced by two people in love and I honestly think that people still conceal their relationships for the pleasure of society. Sadly though, Jack's death comes when he is apart from Ennis and that wouldn't have been the case had society not been how it is still today. I think Ang Lee and all of the cast and crew should feel exceptionally well for creating such a powerful and emotional film. And with any luck, more and more people will see this movie and hopefully everyone who lives like Ennis and Jack will soon be able to do so without the constant judgment from society. I give this movie 5 stars and a 10/10 rating. It's simply the best movie I've ever seen and I hope that it wins every award it's nominated for, from here on out.
