Now a firm favourite

Rating: 10/10 (15 March 2006)

I saw this film about a month ago, but even now it firmly stays with me, thats why I have to comment on it.
This was one of the most powerful pieces of cinema I have been fortunate enough to experience. The beautiful way this story has been adapted leaves you nothing less than haunted. It does nothing short of move you to the core as you become involved with the tragic love story of Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger) and Jack Twist (Jack Gillenhall).
Although a controversial topic in some places even now, it shows you that love has no boundaries. It follows both their lives over a space of twenty years, as they both enter into conventional marriages, with a tiny space of their lives shared together at snatched secret moments. However, those moments are the times they both live for, each other.
Ang Lee is nothing short of a genius in this beautifully shot film, with the closing scene being one that will stay with me forever. A definite must see!
