It could have been better

Rating: 4/10 (1 September 2006)

I was rather disappointed about this movie. I had heard so much about it and it left me almost like after I watched Lost in translation! Waiting for something to happen! Maybe I missed the point of it all, again like in LiT, but I thought the characters were poor, boring and the whole movie just slow and not romantic at all! Ennis is so serious and doesn't display any affection for anyone, Jack seems a bit more interested! I thought this was a love story about the two lads but seems more like the just want to shag each other from time to time and I don't see much feelings into it! I was disappointed with the end of the movie too, we don't know if Jack was killed or what really happened to him, and the only sign of love was when Ennis cries at the end looking at the shirt that Jack had kept all those years. I don't know if anyone shares this opinion with me or can explain a bit what I have missed, maybe I should watch it again, as I've only seen it once.
