My review...does contain spoilers!

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2006)

So, I finally went and saw this movie on 2-5-06. I'd been wanting to see it for an extremely long time, but it either wasn't in my area or no one would go and see it with me. I have to say that the film was brilliant. Jake portrayed someone that was truly in love, and you could see it in his eyes. I understand why Ennis didn't want to risk living with Jack, but I kept hoping that he'd cave and be with the person that he loved so. My friends didn't want to see it, because they don't like gay people. I don't care who you are, a love story is a love story. It's been 2 days since I've seen the film, and i still can't get it out of my head. This was a fantastic film, and Ang Lee did a beautiful job, and so did the cast. I hope that this film wins Best picture! I do have to say that I was shocked when Jack died. I don't understand why the original writer would have her strongest character die like that, but nevertheless, it was a great film. One that I will see several more times and purchase once it comes out.
