Not a movie about gay cowboys

Rating: 10/10 (12 December 2005)

I'm not very eloquent and I don't know anything about "film" but here goes: I wasn't expecting this movie to live up to the hype but I thought it would be nice to relax and watch the scenery and the good-looking actors. But I left the theater 3 hours ago and I can't stop thinking about that movie, I want to go see it again tomorrow except I don't know if I can take the emotional strain of it two days in a row. Don't think this is a movie about "gay cowboys are people too," but more about the fugacity of happiness and the evanescence of life. It's corny but it reminded me of the song "Time in a Bottle," especially the part about "But there never seems to be enough time/To do the things you want to do/Once you find them," and it seems like, we should realize that this is universal. Ah well, I don't know what I'm talking about but this was one of those rare movies that really deeply affected me.
And the acting was magnificent. I kept wanting to ask the projectionist to rewind the reel so I could watch a scene over and over.
