Brokeback Mountain makes our brains alive

Rating: 9/10 (9 February 2006)

For the past six months, my wife and I only saw three films at theaters (we usually rent DVDs instead.) We went see Harry Potter and King Kong because we heard about the astonishing visual effects. We went see Brokeback Mountain because of the beautiful cinematography recommended by one of our friends.
In fact, it's not just the cinematography, but also the story that touches us. I had to admit that, Harry Potter and King Kong are fine too, but once we left the theater we soon forgot about them. Brokeback Mountain is the only one that keeps in our minds for weeks and we are still talking about it: the characters, the dialogs, and the ending.
There are some questions left unanswered in this movie, but that's the beauty of it. Many blockbuster films dazzled our eyes with their special effects. They also turned off our imagination. Brokeback Mountain makes our brains alive.
