Can't stop thinking about it

Rating: 9/10 (8 March 2006)

I went to see this a few months ago. I was fairly exited to see it, since Ang Lee was the director. (One of the good ones, in my opinion). I was the youngest person in the movie theater, but lost all interest in the fact as soon as the movie started. The movie captured me at once, from the every first minute till the last. The film was like a beautiful, slow dance. My eyes refused to even blink, it was so pleased with the beautiful photographing of nature, cities and people. The acting blew my mind! Jake Gyllenhaal was a playful, wild but sweet rodeo-guy. Heath Ledger hands down won the whole movie as his role as the quick guy with a deep inner pain. The story was heart breaking. It was a beautiful love story about fear, confusion and hopelessness. The love-couple knew what would make them happy, but it was too frightening, to odd, that they refused to do it, they just couldn't accept what would make them happy, so it was just a affair full of despair. And that, my friends, was painful to watch. That's what struck right through me. I left the movie theater amazed, and my head filled with thoughts. Till this day I can't stop thinking about it. In my opinion, this might be one of the best movies of the year of 2005. I was talking to someone my own age just yesterday, and told her it's one of the best recently made movies. Jake Gyllenhaal has done spectacular work before! I recommend you to watch this movie, along with "Donnie Darko". I give this movie 4 stars out of 5, but the whole film is, to be honest, 5-star-aqulety. Go see it if you like movies and films, in other words, a cinematic!
