pretty good movie,wonderful characters but no masterpiece here

Rating: 8/10 (27 February 2006)

These comments are my analysis of the movie and its different scenes so SPOILER WARNING..........
we saw brokeback mountain, yesterday mhhhhh....I was probably expecting too much after all the hype around it well it is a good movie, but far from the masterpiece everybody declare... it is probably more 'revolutionary" for the American public as it is a gay cowboy story... Not a lot of the emotional moments touched me...is it Oscar material? definitely for the performance of Heath Ledger (Ennis Del Mar) but for the director, not sure.I think there are problems with the direction and edition of the movie, or maybe not problems but things that I don't like : the way Ennis learned about Jacks death, there is no emotion there...a shame ... now analyzing both personalities: jack clearly "is" gay, he is hungry for feelings and sex and as Ennis doesn't give him enough , he goes elsewhere to find them (male whore in Mexico, cheating on his wife with another woman and maybe even the bearded character,...) Ennis clearly has difficulty in showing and accepting any feelings for jack or other people (his wife, the barmaid,his daughter,..) so all his life he is like waiting for someone, something .The best scene for (emotionnally speaking) is when they met again years after their first encounter. Ennis waiting nervously playing with his laughter, his happy smile seeing his friend again (rare for him) and the kisses and hugs that they can't restrain....
