Emotionally, Well Acted Movie,

Rating: 9/10 (15 April 2013)

Brokeback mountain is a joke among many straight people. We've all heard of the story of 2 cowboys who fall in love with another and form a homosexual relationship. But what this movie is an emotional telling of 2 people who could not conform or be accepted into society because of their love for another.
The story is simple but powerful. It's filmed wonderfully by Ang Lee as he shows the landscapes similar to Terrance Malick in Badlands. The acting throughout is so spectacular too. It's such a pity we lost Heath Ledger, because this film shows how verso tale of an actor he was. Jake Gyllenhaal also churns out his best performance since Donnie Darko. The rest of the cast also contributes nicely, but its clear the focus of the movie. It's all on the should ours of the 2 leads in a quite difficult role to play. You feel emotionally connected to these characters by the end, and that's hard to do in a story like this. Give credit to Ang Lee for filming this movie with the right touches to avoid distaste.
Overall emotionally pulling and beautiful movie. It really doesn't deserve the jokes made about it just because its a good movie.
8/10
