Brokeback broke my heart
So I went and saw Brokeback Mountain tonight.
Oh, my god's. For awhile there I thought it was going to be a typical love story and whatnot and in some ways it was. But, it just hit me in a really sensitive spot. I was all well and good up to the last ten minutes and then suddenly, Ang Lee felt the need to rip my heart out, toss it around a bit and then shove it back into my chest. The ending was such a shock up until the very end. I walked out desperately trying to not cry and I'm proud to say I managed to not make a scene outside the theater.
Jake's performance was stellar and I'm surprised he hasn't been mentioned for any awards. he really stuck it out for all to see and I was way impressed. Heath was ok. He did a good job, but I'd have to say he's not winning any awards this year and it's not because his lack of performance. More to the point that his character will pretty much hold him back from any golden statues this year. But, he did a phenominal job with what he had to work with.
I would recommend to anyone to go see this movie. It's worth the price of admission. Ang Lee's going to get an Oscar, I can tell. As far as all you straight people who think it's all sex all the time, it's not. There's maybe half of a scene and it's pretty early on. Just remember that you're watching it to get the whole story.
I feel as if my soul has been touched by something I can't quite put my finger on. It's hit me that deep. Anyone who's ever been in love will enjoy this movie and I dare you not to gasp at the end when they try to pull your heart out of your chest and blah blah blah blah.
