An ode to love.

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2015)

It feels funny to say that Brokeback Mountain is my favorite film of all time, because I think it almost too good to be just called a film at all, or to critique its incredible technical sophistication. Somehow Brokeback Mountain is way beyond that. I could hear a thousand speeches celebrating gay marriage and equal rights or read a hundred love stories and not be absolutely broken in just two hours as I was after this film. I've never felt waves of excitement come over me as I did sitting in that theater, my face blushing as I watched truth and honesty spill from the screen and onto an unsuspecting audience. You may only see it once, but you'll never forget it.
