Brokeback Mountain is a gem

Rating: Null/10 (16 January 2006)

Brokeback Mountain is a fantastic movie. The film is dramatic, sad and a deeply emotional experience. It focuses on the core of love, whatever one's orientation. The film draws you in visually, through the beautiful music, and the expertise of the writers, director, cinematography, etc. The film captures the ignorance and fears of society without proselytizing. If you will allow yourself to be enveloped by your emotions, you will experience an honest and authentic story that strikes at us all- one of love and loss. Heath Ledger reinvents himself, inducing the character with such realism and despair. Jake Gyllenhall does a superb job as Ledger's one deep and abiding love partner. Do yourself a favor and experience this elegant film, conceived in excellence.
