Amazing

Rating: 9/10 (17 January 2006)

This is absolutely one of best movies I've ever seen. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal really gave an amazing performance. Ledger's performance of the mush-mouthed Ennis is amazing. He truly becomes the character. Gyllenhaal is equally amazing. His character seems to be more sensitive than Ledger's and Gyllenhaal's amazing portrayal touches your heart. This movie doesn't tell a story, it shows you the story. It draws you in and makes you laugh and cry with the characters. My heart is crying out for an end to the story. I just could not believe that it ended in that way. The honesty of the story is so incredible. I was truly not expecting the character portrayals to be so deep and nuanced. I am going to look for the short story and add it to my extensive book collection.
