Movie AND Reactions Better Than Expected

Rating: 10/10 (11 December 2005)

I've been waiting to see this movie since August! The closer the release date came, the higher my anticipation became. The writers, director, and actors had a lot to do with my growing expectations. Most of the time my expectations are higher then the actual quality of a movie. BUT not in the case of "Brokeback Mountain". Not since "Lord Of the Rings" has the quality of the movie EXCEEDED my expectations.
For once a movie conveys the depth and legitimacy of homosexual LOVE. And what surprises me as much as the movie has, is the reactions by heterosexuals who have seen it. I'm amazed by the sheer number of positive feedback from them! They're not seeing this movie as a gay cowboy movie, but for what it really is. An incredible story. An incredible love story.
