A real film

Rating: 9/10 (29 April 2006)

What an amazing movie, if you turn away from this movie because it's about two gay cowboys, or two gay Shepard's, it means you are stereotypical. And thats not a nice thing to be. So be it, it's a great story perfected by two fantastic actors that made us believe there love for each other.
Ang Lee knew what he was doing when he decided to work on this film, he found the right cast and found the right environment for a great film and he knew that out of all his films this is the one that made it big, people noticed this film as his big one. Ang Lee has always made sure that all his films are different and this continues that saga of films.
Heath Ledger, what do you say, what a brilliant actor, he fired himself up for such a role and probably got a lot of stick for it, when I saw him on my screen, I realised he was that cowboy, he was the one that fired up Jake Gylinhalls character, he is that big character that has too choose, he played the role so well, no one could have challenged his performance.
Jake Gylinhall, was perfect, when they start there intercourse scene, Jake did it perfectly, calm and careful and then he pushed Heaths character to do it, he managed to find this difficult character and played it brilliantly, he knew what he had to do and he did it. Donnie Darko to Jarhead (bummer) then to this (fantastic) he has proved himself an actor.
Overall I give this film a 9/10 because of Ang Lee's style to shooting and how shoots the film, Heath and Jake's wonderful performances, and also to the female characters who stay far away but play there roles brilliantly, and even Anna Faris being in it (scary Movie girl) she also performed her role brilliantly. And the accents are great.
Great film, watch it if you know what you are about to see, if you don't watch it, we all know why, this film tells us about love in a different way, it deserves everything, I mean everything, it is one brilliant film that stuns you from start to finish, Ang Lee you are great!
