Heartbreaking

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2006)

I saw the movie for the third time in three weeks and I still can't get enough of it. The acting is just excellent from everyone in the cast. I would never have guessed how heartfelt this movie was. The scenery is lovely and the soundtrack's great. I am not a fan of country music but EmmyLou Harris' song is beautiful. I just wait to see the Academy Awards. I know it will get the Oscar for Best Picture and Director. It is a powerful and haunting movie. The ending just blew me away. Did anyone else feel this way? At first I wasn't sure if Heath Ledger and Jake Gylenhaal would do it justice. I really would like gay movies to use gay actors. Just one half hour into the movie I knew that Ang Lee made the right choices. It really isn't a gay movie but a love story.
