a great story, of two men, excellently told in a movie

Rating: 9/10 (3 February 2006)

Too much was said about the story that compel me not to repeat.
I watched the movie yesterday night, among few close friends, with special attention paid to each moving frame, characters' facial expressions that tell the inner struggles, the story development and even to the background nuances. At the end, I was duly and deservingly rewarded.
I was rewarded with pain and regrets, pain and regrets of love lost, and for the loneliness of not able to be honest with one's own feeling, and the fear of the consequences of being unique or non-conformance, and the suffering of helplessly seeing others being hurt along the way.
This story may have reflex on our own lives and the lives of others around us. It may have created ripples in the society. It may even have resonant with our pass experiences.
But at the end, after the heart ripping finale and some tears, I have come to realize that it may have just been a great story, of two men, excellently told in a movie. Go see it, you will not regret it.
