Just a Damn Good Movie

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2006)

Truly, this is not just a "gay cowboy film", it is for anyone who had not followed their heart in life. It is a truly thought provoking, allegorical tale. The performances are top notch from each role and both of the leads give outstanding performances that are right on. It is amazing what a simple story, told beautifully can achieve. Technology is great but this movie is for anyone is tired of blue screen acting and computer driven plots. If you are "straight" give it a try and most certainly every gay man should see this film. When I saw the film in suburban Virginia the theatre was packed and not with just a gay friendly audience but with folks of all stripes and it affected everyone that I was sitting near. Ang Lee yet again gives us a film that is thoughtfully made and strikingly told.
