Brokeback is heroic and historic

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2005)

A film like this was long overdue. It portrays love between two men with such honesty and humanity, I truly believe it will transcend as the 21st century first huge love story, brushing all senseless and ignorant rantings aside. It's simply sad to see so many heartless bigots in this country won't even give it a chance. But like the tag-line says: Love is a force of nature. It's unstoppable. This film is unstoppable. It's an instant classic and will be forever engraved in the hearts of all who are open to see it. Too bad for those who willingly won't... About the film itself, it's an amazingly crafted piece of art. It flows through you like water and it has such an emotional impact it haunts you for days. A story so simple yet so resonant. A cast of incredibly talented actors who spilled their hearts out, directed majestically by Ang Lee. Beautifully shot, and subtlety, seamlessly scored... It will make you laugh and will make you cry. It will change you. I've personally been haunted by it for days. I don't have enough adjectives to describe its sheer beauty, visually and spiritually. It almost doesn't make sense to describe it. It is something you have to experience for yourself, with your five senses, because that's how it's been made to draw you in. If you have ever loved someone in your life, you will understand. If you haven't, you will know through theses characters what it feels like.
