I must admit, i did not expect this to be great. I mean, i heard about the Oscar nominations, i heard people loved it but i still wasn't really psyched to see it. Last weekend changed it all as me and my girlfriend missed "Walk the line" and caught Brokeback Mountain instead. I just loved it, every scene, every line and every expression in this film is just so moving and drives it to new heights. From the beautiful scenic scenes down the the everyday life scenes just makes it so likable and moving. From my point of view Brokeback Mountain is not only an Oscar front runner, but a movie that can change lives and change narrow minded people.
Nothing bad can be said about anything in this feature, Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhall is amazing and bring out the best in each other. The supporting cast is exactly that, supporting the main characters and the director Ang Lee has really outdone himself and made what i as of February 2006 declare the film of the decade. The 90's had Shawshank Redemption and the 2000's have Brokeback Mountain.
Congratulations to all the involved and thank you, thank you for taking the time to perfect it.
