Brokeback Mountain Shines As Heath Leaves The Building

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2008)

Taking on the complexity of relationships in this life, Brokeback Mountain shines.
Heath Ledger was found dead today, and Ennis Del Mar will be remembered as his most challenging role, one that left him a beloved figure in the hearts of many men and women.
The times the movie reflects, 1963-1983, are accurate. The characters are not sophisticated or highly educated. The story involves a search for love, something, as Jake Gyllenhaal would later say, we all struggle with.
I didn't think I could be sadder than I was after seeing this wonderful, touching film. I had to search within myself to find the chord that gave the experience the interpretation that would make me love it as I do now.
Heath's death makes the world a colder place, and he was just an actor I never knew. I am so grateful he did this film.
