They created characters and brought them to life

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2006)

I remember watching the dire "Mission Impossible 2" where the heroine was trying to decide whether or not to kill herself and just wishing she'd get on with it. Nothing could be more different from "Brokeback" where between the writers, the director and the actors they have created characters so real you seem to know them as friends.
Of course it's a tragedy, but rather like a massage in a Turkish bath (in Turkey) the film hurts but makes you feel a lot better.
Only one weakness, and it's the credibility of the plot. What gay man (or straight woman -or straight man come to think of it) in his/her right mind would keep Jake Gyllenhaal waiting for twenty years then say "see you in November"?
