Beautiful

Rating: 9/10 (23 January 2006)

Brokeback Mountain is a very well done film, directed by master director Ang Lee (of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fame). After the dismal Hulk, he returns in top form for this film. What really makes this film work is the proper casting of the main characters played by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, whose chemistry really works and is believable. The cinematography also is top notch, with the mountain vistas looking either beautiful and serene or at other times dark and dismal, which symbolically represents how the main characters feel about each other at any one time. A must see for sure - a definite 9 out of 10.
