One of the best movies I've ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2005)

When I first saw the trailer for Brokeback Mountain, something tugged at my heart in a way most other trailers do not. The mixture of sweeping landscapes and rugged men working together definitely appealed to me. But the movie goes way beyond two cowboys falling in love. Besides being a moving story that appeals to straights and gays alike, Brokeback Mountain is a movie that just stays with you for days afterwards. I'm trying to figure out why. The nature of this story, that it could happen to any pair of guys, anywhere, somehow makes it more believable and more important. If you want to see a movie that can grab you and go deeper than you thought a movie could, this is the one to watch.
