A Truly Harrowing Film...

Rating: 8/10 (1 August 2011)

"Brokeback Mountain" is a very moving film about two men who work together in the mountains. Over time their friendship begins to broaden and they soon fall in love. This is all I will tell you about this movie because I do not want to ruin the experience that I had from it. I am a 15 year old, straight male. I had no intentions on really seeing this movie when I was younger, because of all of the jokes about it being just gay sex. Let me end these rumors now, it is not a film about sex. It isn't really a film about sexuality in general, it's about humans.
Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal both do an excellent job in their roles. I will admit that some parts of this movie, I had tears in my eyes. I don't know if I was upset for the characters, or was happy. It was just too many emotions to handle.
I would recommend this film to anyone who loves film. This is some of the finest acting I have seen in a while, and one of the best screenplays. Ang Lee did a wonderful job.
10/10
