Touching movie.

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2006)

I just saw "Brokeback Mountain" and I thought it was just so true in it's acting. The four of them (Heath, Jake, Michelle and Anne) were real sincere and pure in their acting and it touched me. I'm not being dramatic here, it just really touched me that such young actors could have performed in such a way. The movie was really well done, Ang Lee exceeds in his directing, as he usually does, actually. In no moment was the subject taken lightly or in a way that could be offensive to the audience, be it heterosexual or homosexual. It's a true love story as I haven't seen a long time, and not only between the cowboys, but also, the devotion of their wives, even if things don't work out too well. At only a few moments did I think it was long a movie, but it drags in moments you can't really NOT drag the movie, so it's understandable. I must admit that a couple of scenes made me uncomfortable, but not in the way most people would feel uncomfortable about, but 'cus I was looking beyond the scene, and seeing the actors (blame Oprah and the interview I saw with them), and how serious and professional you have to be to do those scenes. When you see the characters of Jack "Nasty" Twist and Ennis, then you just see what I was saying above, true love. I also loved the fact they're guys, normal guys, and how they treat their relationship not as a gay one, but of two people in love, at least I see that in Ennis, even though all through the movie I get the impression Jack has always known his sexual preferences, and Ennis is sort of dragged into him, for who he is, not for his gender.
