A love story for this century.

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2006)

This film has to be(in my opinion) in contention with Romeo and Juliette as the most beautiful and heart-rending love story ever told, it takes you through every emotion from the first thrill of love through sorrow, jealousy and anger and leaves a lasting impression on your heart and mind. It makes you realise that when you are lucky enough to find the kind of love Ennis and Jack do then you should grab it with both hands. The whole film is beautiful to watch and the acting is superb, Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhall are both amazing and capture the spirit of the characters perfectly. The script is fairly sparse compared to a majority of films, but this just adds to the overall appeal. I have never seen a film as compelling as this one and it will live with me for a long time.
