Heartbreaking Situation

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2005)

This is a very sad story of two people who can't find a way to make their lives work together. The characters of Ennis and Jack are complex, raising this above the standard "Romeo and Juliet they can't ever be together" romance. Highly recommended, easily the best movie I've seen this year. Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Williams, and Anne Hathaway are all fantastic in their roles. I think this movie will appeal to many people, not just gays or women (because we women do love good sad love stories). This is not a "message" movie, but if there is something to be gained from it is a sense that if love comes our way we should take a chance on it and to be true to who we are. Go see it!
