Amazing and Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2006)

This movie was absolutely stunning. It had two key ingredients for perfection: a beautiful story and brilliant acting.
The story is incredible. Two men, brought together by an insatiable force, unable to be together. It makes the heart ache for them, knowing that they cannot openly be together. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal were nothing short of genius. They captured both of their characters perfectly and made their interactions completely realistic and believable. Your heart goes out the them in the end.
If you have not seen this film, find it in the theatre nearest to you and see it. It was gut-wrenching and beautiful, tugging on all the right heart strings. You will never forget this film after you see it. Its story will haunt you and force you to rethink your definition of love. It is absolutely amazing.
The best part about this film I thought was that it followed the short story so closely. Purchase the short story, read it and read it again. It will change your life, as will the movie.
