It swept me up and won't let me go!

I saw Brokeback Mountain yesterday at my local theater all by myself and I must say I haven't been the same since. It infiltrated my dreams last night and I woke up thinking about it.
The performances were brilliant. Heath Ledger's portrayal of Ennis Del Mar was a real as they come and I was also touched by Michelle William's performance as his wife Alma. I'm not sure if the performances carried the characters or if the characters carried the performances. They were all so real and perfectly flawed.
I will see it again and I will drag everyone I can to see it with me. I even plan on getting the short story in hopes of filling in some of the blanks inevitable in film.
This is the right American love story at the right time. I think it can and will change us all for the better.
