It was amazing.

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2006)

This was one of the most amazing films I've ever seen. I'd been waiting for it for months now, and it was worth the wait. Heath Ledger's performance as Ennis was believable and heart-wrenching. This film beautifully captures the incredible and tragic short story by Annie Proulx. Many lines are taken straight from the story and the things that the creators took the liberty to add fit perfectly and wonderfully. The music is also fantastic, and even those who don't like country music will agree. The progression of the characters over the two decades that the movie covers is done very well, both in their appearance and character development. Definitely Oscar-worth, this movie will have even the most stone-hearted and homophobic viewers feeling the pain and love of Jack and Ennis.
