Amazing!

Rating: 10/10 (23 January 2006)

This movie was easily the best film of 2005. Nothing else even came close to achieving what "Brokeback Mountain" has. More than simply showing the relationship between these two men, the audience is drawn in and feels the way Jack and Ennis do. Heath Ledger is astonishing in the role of Ennis Del Mar. After such "teen" films like "10 Things I Hate About You" and A Knight's Tale," it was great to see him completely get into this role. I never once thought "oh, it's just Heath Ledger on screen." He became Ennis, plain and simple. Also, Jake Gyllenhaal, who has always been a solid actor, truly becomes Jack Twist. The supporting cast is equally great, as is the script, cinematography and director. Congratulations to Heath, Jake, Michelle, Anne, and especially Ang Lee for making the best, most emotionally resonant film of the year!
