Brokeback got me good too!

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2006)

The words to describe this movie don't come easily. In 43 years of movie viewing I've never had images from film affect me in this way. Five days after the viewing and I am still mulling it over and marveling at this bit of magic from Tinseltown. I want to credit Ang Lee for his genius, all the actors for their superb performances, and Larrry McMurtry and Diana Ossana for their guided vision, but this beautiful story belongs to Annie Proulx. Without it and it would be just another film. This is one of those rare occasions in film-making when everything comes together. Talented people recognize quality source material when they see it, and feel compelled to equal it with their own particular craft. This is what film-making is all about!
