Delightfully Surprised

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2007)

I just caught Brokeback on cable about a week ago and haven't stopped thinking about it. When I describe it to people who've not seen it I say the story is sweet and at the same time tragic, the casting is perfect, the acting impeccable with it's understated style, the sets brilliant, the scenery breathtaking and the music haunting. The poverty and hardships of the core families is captured in the sets and costumes and opens windows into these areas of life with heart wrenching depiction. Heath and Jake were perfect as were every cast member. No wonder this movie received so much attention. I recommend anyone with a hang-up over the known subject matter of this film get over it and give this film a watch. I can't imagine you won't be glad you did.
