Not Only A Fair Portrayal Of Two Men In Love But An Uplifting Story About The Greatness Of Love Itself.

Rating: Null/10 (9 August 2013)

Profoundly honest, wonderfully crafted, brilliantly performed, beautifully scored & arguably the boldest film I've ever seen, Brokeback Mountain is not only a fair portrayal of two men in love but an uplifting story about the greatness of love itself. The film is amazing to look at, is shot in beautiful locations & director Ang Lee left no stone unturned in fusing this nicely adapted narrative with his calm & controlled artistic flair.
But the biggest contribution comes from the strong performances by both Heath Ledger & Jake Gyllenhaal. Ledger truly nails his character of Ennis & although he didn't speak much throughout the runtime, his body language effortlessly conveyed everything about Ennis' stuffed up emotions, fears & love. Gyllenhaal plays Jack Twist & delivers a knockout performance and so did Michelle Williams. Anne Hathaway didn't have much to do unfortunately but she was no disappointment.
From start to finish, it is a roller coaster ride of powerful emotions & although some moments might be difficult to watch for few people out there but by the time it ends, it will hopefully end up changing many viewers' presumptions about this film or its characters or its theme or even modern society. On an overall scale, Brokeback Mountain isn't only one of those films that will stand the test of time but it's a cinematic gem that will keep resonating the power of thought-provoking cinema in changing viewers' perspectives, forever.
