Heartbreakingly awesome

Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2006)

This movie really touched me. Right after I had seen it I thought "Oh,that's sad" but as time went and I thought about it more, and after a couple of hours I was so heartbroken, I cried. I knew that I would have to see it again. So I did, one week later. All that week I couldn't get my mind off it, and in my English class the day after I had seen it, I almost started crying because we were listening to a tape with Texan American speech. When I saw it the second time, I cried. A lot. And I still thought about it a lot. I wanted to find out what especially I liked about this amazing movie, so I sat down and thought about it, and came up with a list:
-It tells an amazing story, heartbreaking and beautiful.
-Ledger and Gyllenhaal plays incredibly well. Ledger plays his part so unbelievably great. You can see how difficult it is for Ennis to deal with the relationship with Jack and how scared he is of someone finding out about it, but also how much he needs and loves him. Gyllenhaal plays just as well as Ledger. He knows what he wants, but not how to tell Ennis this. He is very afraid to lose him or to scare him away. You really see that Jack loves Ennis, how affective and caring he is.
-The filming is truly beautiful. When you have seen this movie, you remember the scenes down to the tiniest detail. Every shot is like a painting, a beautiful painting.
-The landscape is awesome. The mountains, the sheep, the sky, everything.
-It's realistic. You truly believe that this is a true story. I felt so sorry for all the Ennises and Jacks in the entire world. -The acting between the characters is amazing. If you want to see chemistry, then here you are.
-It's not a cliché-movie. No clichés. I don't feel awkward at any time while watching this. It is just amazing. Funny, clever, sad, violent, natural.
