Touching...

Rating: 9/10 (21 May 2013)

Brokeback Mountain is such a touching movie, it will leave you in tears. People clichÃ© it as a "gay cowboy movie", but it's so much more than that. What is so great about Brokeback Mountain, is that love like this is happening all over the world, but there has never been a movie that represents that love, so I think it was extremely brave of Ang Lee to do this.
Jake Gyllenhaal took the spotlight as Jack Twist, or "Jack Nasty". (Only fans will get that one!) Jake's acting was off the charts, I can't even describe it. You could see his passion and his struggles; so bravo to him. Heath Ledger played Ennis Del Mar. I think for the character he did a great job, but the clenched-jaw thing began to annoy me halfway through (not to mention, you could here his Austrailian accent poke through a couple of times, but all great actors struggle with concealing accents); but his character is supposed to be a tight, clenched person so it worked very well. Anne HathawayÂ… well she's always amazing; and Michelle Williams played the role of scared wife well.
