Amazing Movie

Rating: 8/10 (21 April 2006)

The only flaw i can think of, is thatit is a bit boring at the beginning, but then when i think about it, the beginning has to be that way in order for the story to develop logically.
Some scenes will simply be remembered as classics. The scene where Jack and Ennis have the massive argument or the last scene where Ennis remembers Brokeback with guilt and deep sorrow. In my opinion the last twenty minutes of the movie (From Jack's death on) are simply 10/10. Thanks of course to ledger's amazing performance. I thougth he was particularly good in the scene with Jack's parents and the last scene as he contains his tears and even finds difficulty to breath. I have no clue how come they could not give him the Oscar, his work here is superb and its been a while since I'm not so impressed by a performance. So far this has been Ledgers best work.
jake is also good, though he got the Oscar-role in my opinion as he is supposedly the one that suffers the most and effectively has th most dialogue, but Ledger with those few words and his body language, eclipses the co-star.
The soundtrack was also amazing and ideal. I'm particularly in love with that guitar score, heard at the end, as Ennis views the Brokeback picture. When i hear it i can feel the guilt Ennis feels, which drags my soul down to the ground.
Every time i think about it, i have no clue how it got beat by Crash for the best movie and by Hoffman in best actor. Ledger'srole was much harder, and Crash was okay, but not that great, plus this is a much more complex and smart movie that Crash will ever be. Actually the only thing i thougth Crash would get, was Supporting Actor thanks to Matt Dillon's amazing work, but thats exactly what it didn't get... Whats wrong Academy?
