Review of Brokeback Mountain (2005) by Heatherw — 11 Dec 2005
It's been over 24 hours, and I'm still feeling elated and devestated. Elated because I've been touched deeply by one of the most beautiful love stories I have ever known. Elated because of the raw courage and sensitivity and sheer brilliance that Gyllenhall and Ledger bring to this movie.
Elated because I finally got to see one of my favorite writer's work *finally* done justice. But devastated. Just devastated. I won't say why, of course, because I don't want to give any spoilers.
But all I can say is, if (and I do mean *if*) you think you can handle it without being a giggly child or a hung-up Christian conservative, please see this film. See it twice. Let it seep into your bones.
Into your heart. Definitely the best movie of the year, and that's saying something.
