So unbelievably beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2006)

It has never happened to me to watch a film a couple of times and to continue NEEDING (painfully) to watch it again and again. This is how I feel about "Brokeback mountain". About this extraordinary and overwhelming film. You'll probably think that I'm exaggerating or overreacting. The truth is that I left my heart and my soul in the Brokeback mountain along with Jack (fuckin) Twist and Ennis Del Mar. I can't change it and I'm not capable of reacting differently. I don't even know how it really happened. Was it the enigmatic atmosphere of the Brokeback mountain, the performance of the two so young but BRILLIANT actors, the words or the moments without words and action, all that was hidden beneath the surface and in which I was slowly and deeply sinking... Let my try to explain the unexplainable. Just a few symbolic words to embody my inspiration. And PLEASE, watch the film.
So powerful. So painfully penetrating. So original, strange and provocative. Deeply emotional and unbelievably beautiful. I was mesmerized by the characters performed by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, their love for each other "put a spell on me". Their acting was too good to be true. They made me SEE and FEEL the love. Not only the passion or sensuality but the extremely strong and pure emotional (and spiritual) connection between them. And also the great depth and intensity of sorrow and solitude.
Forget the trivial and ordinary love stories. This film has nothing in common with them. It has nothing in common with MOST films. You can learn from it about the nature of love in such a strange and profound way, also because of the delicate and specific circumstances. Was it possible not to feel envy of this deep and unexplainable relationship? And not to be swept away by it. To be obsessed and absorbed. By the Brokeback mountain, the melancholy, the fate. So much severity and tenderness. Unpredictable and uncontrollable - the powerful nature of LOVE.
I know I probably sound too emotional and dramatic. But it's not easy to explain the unexplainable. It is almost impossible. So, forgetting the words try to feel the divine inspiration. Believe me that these are not just superlatives. There IS something really enormous in this film. That stays with you and is not leaving. It is not just unforgettable, it's unforgivable. That I'm not still in the Brokeback mountain with Jack and Ennis and their love. Back to reality? Well, I refuse to accept it. I still refuse to accept it.
