Atticus taught Scout it's a sin ...

... to kill a mockingbird.
All Jack ever did was sing his heart out for Ennis.
For us.
This film blasted onto my top-10-of-all-time list. The best stories are always the most basic, the most fundamental. They deal with issues like friendship, trust, courage, endurance. Unlike, say, Lord of the Rings, however, or even like To Kill a Mockingbird, Brokeback Mountain doesn't spell out a moral code in black and white: free people of the West vs. orcs and trolls; tolerance vs. bigotry. Everyone is fully human, with the capacity for joy and sorrow, hope and fear. Everyone tries. Everyone hurts.
Take a chance on this movie. Your heart will grow eight sizes that day.
