Simply fantastic!

Rating: 8/10 (18 March 2010)

When a lot of people hear the title of the movie. They just assume "Oh, the movie with the gay cowboys who just make out?" Although, I think it's way more then that.
I've enjoyed many things about this movie. Like for instance, the acting, and the intense love scenes between Jack and Ennis. This movie also sends out a clear message about repressed homosexuality, about how hard it is on yourself to just hide it, and pretend your not. It's also very accurate about how people felt about, these kinds of subjects at the time (even though I didn't like it one bit, it happened).
What I didn't like about this movie was the ending, I'm not too big on sad endings. I did not agree with having Jack Twist dying at the end. Although, I guess it was another way of showing what would happen if people knew you were gay during the time of the setting. It was a bit of a tear-jerker for me.
Overall, I'm giving this an 8 out of ten.
