Great movie.

Rating: 9/10 (21 February 2006)

I'm not really a movie person. Hell, I think the last time I've been in a theater was when I was nine years old and I wanted to see The Lion King. The few movies I do watch are usually raunchy comedies. So when my girlfriend wanted me to watch BrokeBack Mountain with her, it was no surprise that I never heard about it. All I knew about it was that it was some kind of corny love flick.
I mentioned the name of the movie to my friends before watching it. They started laughing and making jokes. After they told me what it was about, I was feeling more than a little reluctant to watch it. But I kept my promise and watched it, and I'm glad I did.
This movie was nothing like what I expected. It felt so real, like it could easily happen to anyone. I felt that this was more of a film about regret and emotion rather than gay love. The true moral is, don't try and hide your feelings. Don't refrain from following your emotions simply because you are afraid of what people will think of you.
Go see BrokeBack Mountain. Its a great movie and not just another corny drama. If you watch it with an open mind I'm sure you'll learn something about yourself and the world you live in.
