Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2006)

Although some believe the film is a bit slow moving, it is a rare cinematic expression of the human condition. The love these men share is so deep and powerful. However, they are forced to dismiss their chances of a happy life together because they are gay. I would like to say things could have been different for Jack and Ennis. I am unsure if this is true given the power of fear and anxiety about being homosexual. This is really a cinematic jewel -- anyone who has loved or had a broken heart should see this film. The screenplay is amazing as is the sheer beauty of the Wyoming landscape. It was so moving you could hear people in the audience sobbing and for good reason, it should make you ache for love unfulfilled.
