One of the Best Movies Ever

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2006)

There is not a single aspect of Brokeback Mountain that does not rate an excellent grade. The cinematography is superb, the music haunting and moving, the story is a classic to be ranked among the great short stories of World Literature and the acting so credible that one gets lost in the story and is transported from the cinema into the film itself. I left the cinema feeling as if I have LIVED the film rather than simply watching it. Critics have said that it started slowly, but then picked up the pace, however, I find that its true to life feel needed that sequence, no human story begins, progresses and ends at the same pace. If BBM does not win the Oscar for Best Picture and Ang Lee for Best Director I will lose faith in the judgment of the Academy.
