shame on the academy awards

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2006)

this film has changed my life. absolutely grandiose. and please people don't call it a gay movie...its a love story and a darn good one.a year later it still has me covered with goose pimples at the mere mention of its title. mr. ang lee you are sublime...you could have fallen to clichés and abundance of sex scenes but you wisely chose the contrary. it would have ruined the film and its message. the few nude scenes were well done and the dialogue was not shocking. heath ledger...wow..sure he mumbles but ennis was uneducated tormented and aching.james dean would have been proud mr. ledger. little jake gyllenhaal..fantastic did he ever portrait jack twist with sensitivity and zest. truly a great actor who with his eyes only can transfer emotions with such ease. michelle Anne randy...a top notch cast. my 3 favorite scenes..when after arguing ennis falls to his knees and says jack you did this.....the next night after the tent scene...ennis goes back to tent and jack hugs him and says its OK and of course the heartbreaking shirt scene. next week im going to my office xmas party with a brokeback mountain t shirt...i want to be forever associated with this masterpiece. excuse my English i am french Canadian and by the way...i will not be watching the Oscars any more. rick
