Believable Pretty Men and Scenery

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2014)

Am from Wyoming so am uniquely qualified to comment on this movie--lived in Centennial only a few miles from Annie Proulx the author. The local color is very authentic...all of it.
Love develops between two young cowboys Jack and Ennis-- and the movie is about the trials of homosexual love in the 1960s and 70s. Yes, there was a little bit of gay fantasy window dressing...very handsome men using chew but nothing that is at all impossible-- in fact given the circumstances likely. Ennis an emotionally battered inexpressive man, is someone that it hard to believe Jack would stay in love with for 20 years...
The ending is good Ennis living alone....having him remarry would have ruined it completely.
RECOMMEND.
