Extraordinary love story about two men who find the love of their lives in each other

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2006)

I saw the movie it two times, and it's the first time a movie keeps me thinking all through the day. It's a magnificent, tragic love story about two men who find the love of their lives.
I think what keeps me thinking about the movie is the fact that I can imagine how awful it must feel to find the man you love, and then can't be with him the rest of your life.
It really is a movie about people who find the love of their loves, and then can't live it. That's the bottom line of the story. And then it's made into a movie with beautiful sceneries, magnificent landscapes and a cast that makes you dazzle with excitement.
Especially Jake Gyllenhaal, who deservedly has won a BAFTA-award for his performance, plays like he's never played before. Absolutely convincingly, he portrays a frustrated man in love. Absolutely beautiful.
Pure tragedy, made into a wonderful movie that keeps you thinking for days and days....
