"truth," a poem + brokeback mountain
truth
a constant revelation
when it's something to whisper
something to say
underneath lips
i'm feeling, here
and
just afraid to say it
where eyes meet at the
perfect point of destination
and it all seems so final
how beautiful
it could have been, we
held still to each other
why things fall out
the way they do, and dealing with
the aftermath is so hard
the moral code we live with
every action a reaction, consequence
caught in our own traps
who i am is different
when i'm
with you
and that's all that matters
between us, we change to fit
incomplete without each other
what we are
who we are
is all that matters
and if truth is but a whisper
love's whispering to us now
'this is right, this is real'
and even when i
scream myself hoarse
cry myself dry
how we came to be
this way, never enough
time and again apart
spend the days
remembering, and the nights
dreaming closer to you
i'll whisper your name, then
in the dark
and if truth is but a whisper

amazing.
pure and simple, thought-provoking, i want to watch it again. and again. and again. love. honesty. lies. i felt excited and nervous walking in, somber and full of thought walking out. i didn't cry, but nearly did, twice. mom, dad and i discussed it afterwards. i really do hope it wins best picture; it's easily the best movie i've seen all year, even over rent (and i cried at rent). this film is sparse and lovely--honest and so just...real, it's heartbreaking. it makes you think; it tugs your consciousness out of hiding. i felt just so..."wow" after watching it. so many issues were dealt with in that movie, and it was all so well done. ang lee directed, fabulously. jake gyllenhaal (who played jack twist) and heath ledger (who played ennis del mar) were unrecognizably fantastic; both should be nominated and win, along with michelle williams, who was lovely and hurt as ennis' wife. oh, oh, oh. just...oh. that movie. that movie. i think, the more i'll watch it, the more it'll own a part of me. because it really just...oh, god. it makes me believe...in truth. in a love so strong it doesn't need boundaries or stereotypes, trancends even death. i just...god. totally, totally awestruck. i'm just...wow.
so, um, in plain english? brokeback mountain is the best movie i've seen all year; go watch it if you can, and think about it. because it's a very thought-provoking movie. it just...gah, okay, i'm going to stop now. i think. because it's 3:19 a.m. and i'm all "*-*" over this and just...yeah. god, i love movies. ♥♥♥ with a huge part of my soul, oh my god. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
*siiiiigh* so freaking awesome. just...aghblah, i love it. love it ALL.
