Thank you, Michelle Williams

Rating: 4/10 (25 March 2006)

I have seen this movie yesterday, and the day before yesterday I read the novel. The movie stays close to the novel, except for the character of Heath Ledger, Ennis Del Mar. What is Heath trying to say? I am scared to live? I think a lot of people will find this movie boring, because Heath does not portray an average guy with whom you can identify. I can relate to Jake Gyllenhaal's personage. He has at least a drive, and so does Michelle Williams character. Both Jake and Michelle are light points in this movie, but it is a pity that Heath Ledger's character is the main figure. At the end of the movie, he cries at seeing the two shirt he has hung up in his closet. My question: every time he opens the closet, does he cry? Heath's acting is really bad. Even I can play Ennis. Just press your lips together, put your eyebrows together and there you are: Mr negativity. I guess the Academy nominated this movie to make people go to this movie. That is why this movie did not actually won an Oscar. And by Jove, they succeeded! I thought this movie would get into my heart, but instead I just didn't understand the motivation of Ennis. I never really was a fan of Michelle Williams, but she plays her character well and understandable. So: thank you Michelle.
