Clearly the best film of 2005!!

Rating: 10/10 (20 March 2006)

"Brokeback Mountain" is what movie making and storytelling is all about.It makes you feel for the characters and their situation so deeply,that you can't help but take them with you when you leave the theater.I was still thinking of the film several weeks after I had seen it,it was that powerful.Ang Lee,in my opinion,is one of the most talented directors working in Hollywood today.Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal gave Oscar worthy performances and will be around for a long,long time.If you are weary of seeing this film because it is a "gay cowboy movie" don't be,it doesn't deserve that label.The story is a universal one.Ang Lee makes it so everyone can relate to it by portraying the characters realistically and without any stereotypes.This film is an instant classic and will be known as the movie that should have won an Oscar for best picture,but didn't for political reasons.
