A love story that starts without love and ends without one.

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 2006)

So many people have said so many things about this film. What I want to say is that Jack & Ennis have gone down from the mountain but, alas, I am stuck at Brokeback! Why? because of the silences that speak louder than words; the sparse musical score that rings in your ears long after; the economical script that conveys more than the actual dialog; the precise acting that could have easily degenerated into melodrama under insensitive directing; the vast expanse of the mountainside (their love nest) vs the constricting dusty towns (their hornets' nest); the stock character fleshed out by Ledger that will be a reference for many actors for years to come; and last but not least the heart felt tears shed by ALL the main characters (including the babies!) And mine.
