I cannot stress how good this movie is.

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2006)

Watching "Brokeback Mountain", it's amazing that anyone told Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal that it would be a career killer. Clearly, it has had just the opposite effect. The two actors play Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist, respectively, who meet while herding sheep in Wyoming. As time passes, they become attracted to each other, and it starts affecting their personal lives.
Like I said, I cannot stress how great this movie is. Aside from the fact that Ledger and Gyllenhaal play their roles perfectly and with top-notch intensity, Ledger really looks like he's aging (not only going gray, but also looking leathery).
All in all, Ang Lee has created a masterpiece along the lines of "Citizen Kane", "Dr. Strangelove", "The Godfather", and "Schindler's List". I wish to assert that not only does "Brokeback Mountain" deserve Best Picture, but everyone involved in it deserves an Oscar. Anne Hathaway and Michelle Williams play roles equally as great as the two male leads (Randy Quaid also stars). A perfect movie in every way.
