One of my favorite movies of all time!

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2006)

I know, everyone is raving about this movie, but it really is an excellent, moving, powerful film, and I haven't been able to get it out of my head ever since I saw it. The performances in the film were outstanding, especially on the part of Heath Ledger. As far as Jake Gyllenhaal goes, I actually thought he should have won the Oscar for BSA over George Clooney for Syriana, although he did an excellent job as well. I just got more involved and invested in this storyline and the characters, and, while most movies cant make me cry, I was sobbing in the theater, against my better efforts. This seem a little ranty and in-cohesive, but that is just how flabbergasted the film left me. I went in expecting a lot, and left having received more than I ever could have imagined.
