Two days on...

Rating: 10/10 (5 September 2008)

... and I still have tears in my eyes. It is quite simply the most stunningly emotional, raw love story I have ever seen in my life, and probably ever will. My initial thought was how incredible Heath Ledger was in his role (and he was, completely), but the more I have thought about the film, the more I have come to appreciate Jake Gyllenhaal's performance as well, they complimented each other so well, and have my total admiration for giving it their all.
Who would have thought that three little words, 'Jack, I swear...' could contain so much emotion, pain and despair, not just for Ennis, but for the viewer, too.
I want to watch it again, but I'm not sure I have the emotional strength to. Heart wrenching.
