Emotional love story that deals with the uncharted, mysterious ways of the human heart

Rating: 10/10 (8 February 2006)

Love stories come and go, but this one stays with you. Not because both lovers are men, but because their story is so full of life and longing, and true romance. Very genuine and it happened to many men today.
Dilemma faced by two cowboys, Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist. Ennis and Jack, love each other passionately. Yet they can't live together in the Marlboro Country of the 1960s and 1970s, so they try to hide their love behind their heterosexual domesticity. It is also the love itself, which at first seems baffling to these two manly men, as if it were a thing apart, rather than the force that gives meaning to their lives.
So begins a sporadic and tormented affair in which the two meet once or twice a year for fishing trips on which no fish are caught. Jack urges that they forsake their marriages and set up a ranch together. But Ennis, haunted by a childhood memory of his father taking him to see the damaged body of a rancher, tortured and beaten to death with a tire iron for living with another man, is immobilized by fear and shame.
What was not really elaborate was the death of Jack. The wife said he had a flat tire and basically it was an accident but the visual showed that he was beaten to death, the cause, I can't really figure it out. May be you know ...
