Best movie about impossible love for years

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2006)

I don't think anyone can watch Brokeback Mountain without being deeply moved. It is a story about impossible love between Romeo and Romeo  Jake and Ennis  and it is so heartbreaking because it is just a story about two men falling in love. Though this is also why the film is controversial. And that might just be one of the reasons why it feels so relevant and true. Even today millions of people all over the world do actually get persecuted because they are gay. Just as people are denied their freedom because of their color or religion. That is a very important story to tell but what makes Ang Lee's version of the tale such a convincing and beautiful piece of fiction is that it does not get sentimental or explicitly moralizing.
