Brokeback Moutain
I finally got to see it. I've been waiting, and waiting, and then finally...
I honestly think that this was the best movie experience I've ever had. And by that I mean, the best audience (we cheered when the "bad" guys were punched, cried when the angst got too bad, and gasped when the secret was found out) was there. It was wonderful.
And the movie. I'd say watching that is similar being subtly punched in the gut by beauty. You feel so wrapped up in the story. It's like they are your neighbors, and you're watching this unfold through your window.
There are no stereotypes. Jack and Ennis are just two guys who are in love. Big deal.
And really, you feel much more empathy for Ennis's wife. You could visibly see her falling apart. The movie didn't villanify the wives, which I really liked.
I just cried so hard. This movie is what Romeo and Juliet would have been, had they chosen not to secretly get married and run away, thus not dying in a flash of light. Instead they slowly burn down over the years.
*hugs this movie* Go see it. Now.
