amazing

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2008)

i watched this earlier today and i have to say that this movie is absolutely AMAZING. it's a lot like "Romeo and Juliet" in the sense that the two main characters are not allowed to be together even though they love each other so much. it shows you how in that time gay people had to hide themselves from everyone else either by forgetting about how they are or ignoring it and marrying and having kids. Heath Ledger gives a wonderful performance as a young cowboy who is in denial about who he is but is so clearly in love. Jake Gylenhall gives an amazing performance as the one who doesn't see why they should have to hide how they feel and has dreams of the two of them one day owning a ranch together.
