Mountain of disappointment

Rating: 4/10 (16 February 2006)

First of all, i don't want to put down the great work of cinematography, art direction and acting done in the movie. More than the actual cowboys their selves, i preferred the performances of the wives that came upon a lie in their, otherwise, happy and common lives. Both of them, were believable, true and had essence to them... Also, Elma Junior was surprisingly moving. As for the "fellas", i'm not so sure of it!... I didn't see this as an actual love story, they were buddies that had sex! They didn't feel that truly connected to themselves on another level other than sex and being a cowboy. Their talks weren't that passionate and tuned... They "loved" as much as they fought, what they really liked was fooling around, hanging out on the mountain and, because there were no more people around, had sex with each other... Really disappointing, maybe because there was no really depth do the connection between Ennis and Jack.
