Cried my eyes out on this one.....

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2006)

This movie was a total shock to me; I had no idea how I would feel about the "gay cowboy" movie, but in the end, when Ennis and Jack are together for the last time, and then when Ennis opens his closet to the shirts and said whatever he said, just broke my heart. It did not matter about gay or not gay, this was a love story. It reminded me of "Same Time Next Year" with Alan Alda; but of course their love was different in the sense that those characters were straight. But, for two people to have to go to such extremes to have to see each other for their "fishing/hunting" trips, and then for Jack to die and seeing Ennis almost break down when his friend/lover dies (or murdered possibly in Ennis' mind) just kills me. This movie was a LOVE STORY, not a "homo" story. The only sex scene was in the beginning of their relationship sexually. Unfortunately, I have too many friends who are too "homophobic" to enjoy this movie. It is a wonderful love story, homosexual or not. Sorry homophobes: you have to look past your ignorance to get the message in this movie!
