Well, I have to say that I was expecting a good movie but I really wasn't prepared for this! I saw the movie yesterday and I still can't get it out of my mind, and I won't get it out for a long time. I come from Croatia and talking about gays or gay love is just something you don't do. I'm straight but still deeply moved by this movie. And I am so sorry that not many people are going to see it.
The first part of the movie for me was a nice story, watching two guys having fun their own way, enjoying the time together at a place were they can feel free. At first I didn't understand what was it about Ennis feeling sick after returning from the mountain and letting Jack leave just like that, but after the whole movie, I know exactly what was that and how hard it really was. The second part, after they meet again after four years is a real heart-breaker. The emotions, looks, sadness, guilt, love, pain, it all there. I tried not to get too emotional, and not to cry, but I just couldn't! You have to feel sad, you just have to! And angry of the whole world for being what it is. I am so sorry that my English is not that good and I can't really express everything that I'm feeling about this movie, but one thing is sure, it changed my way of thinking, and it changed my life for sure. Thank you Ang Lee, and thanks to the whole cast. Heath Ledger is really phenomenal there, and I really wish him an Oscar! He deserved it!
