The Best Movie Ever

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2006)

this film is far the best one I've ever watched for one simple reason. It is about a love, a deep and strong love, of two men who grew up in an environment where all men should be unaffectionate, tough, and not allowed to be sensitive,to express their love even to their wives, and if they do so they are severely criticized for it and become finger pointed. So, in such a hard reality two men have the guts to fall in love with each other and even though they can imagine the impact of their choice to their families they can not pretend to be happy in marriages which become the prisons of their soul and feelings. The circumstances lead them to hide their love because in that time and in that particular place the easiest thing to do was to point your finger and laugh at two men's love. Jack & Ennis were not quires. None of them. They were MEN. And that's what makes me congratulate them for the way they showed their love cause they didn't go around holding hands and kissing, they just wanted to share the rest of their lives together without anyone criticizing them.
Except for the excellent script the direction of Ang lee is amazing too. Also, heath ledger and Jake gyllenhaal proved out to be very good actors by giving an astonishing performance full of strength and sensitivity. It seems to me that they were born for the characters. Michelle Williams is great too. Anne Hathaway is satisfying. Excellent the work of Rodrigo Prieto and Sandiago Santaolala.
