Broke my heart!

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2006)

When I read the short story many years ago, it completely broke my heart and so I was tremendously excited to hear that Ang Lee had made a film. I hoped desperately that they would do the story justice and I was overjoyed to discover they excelled themselves in the translation from book to film.
I don't believe I have ever seen two actors get the sexual tension, love and chemistry as completely as Heath and Jake and this includes male/female on screen couples. The label of 'gay cowboy movie' is absolutely outrageous as this film is about all consuming love between two people which is so confused and pure and doesn't deserve to be compartmentalised in that way.
I am delighted to say it completely broke my heart again. Congratulations on a wonderful film.
