Appreciate this film before you comment!

Rating: 10/10 (20 August 2006)

Wow! The arguing that goes on in here is so amusing! Anyway, I thought this film was really good and despite a few things I would've liked to have seen expanded on I'm happy to give this full marks! Movies of this genre don't usually move me in the way that this did! Unfortunately, I felt it was ashame that the story doesn't involve more about Jack and Ennis' relationship together, but then the main issue IS the fact that their love was a love that cannot be! The romantic scenes between Gyllenhaal and Ledger were, i thought, displayed extremely well and really did back-up what you were meant to believe (that the two men were actually in love)! However, i did think that the initial sexual interaction seemed to me to be a little odd! I do though, think that this is just because that scene is based around pure animal magnetism and not any means of love unlike the later interactions! The passion in the scene where the wife, played by Williams, sees the lovers embrace at the side of the house is perfect, and is handled brilliantly by the two actors! I think the reason why this film is appreciated in the way it is by so many people is that it is a beautiful and captivating story, which is supported by many pivotal moments of great acting! These moments touched me and thats therefore why I am giving 'Brokeback Mountain' the rating I am! I hope this helps
