I had great difficulty hearing the dialogue. It was well acted but I don`t think it should win best picture. Think Cinderella Man was better. It was slow getting going and missing quite a lot of what they were saying didnt help
how far will this world go. When will it be too much? Someday will an oscar go to a movie about a love story about man and animal.
i really love this movie so much but i cried the whole time because the end was soo sad. i like the character too even though am not gay,i just love the film
When I read all the comments about Brokeback Mountain, it seems there are many that are missing the point. In my opinion, the movie isn`t about being gay. It`s about supressed love and what society would say if these two were to express their love openly. We all grow up with values and opinions from those who are in charge of us, however warped they may be. Ennis grew up knowing the same horrible fate would await him that happened to that poor old man of his childhood, if he were to ever express his feelings openly. It crippled him and kept him in a miserable life he didn`t know how to get out of as it does so many others in the world. Go see
Six times I`ve seen the movie and I get new insights each time. None of the four characters win in the end. What a tragedy, that when we look honestly at life, there are so many relationships that are exactly like these two men and their lives. Denying their true feelings, and in reality denying their lives, because the world wasn`t ready for it. Being different from some one else, wheather from a different race, religion, hetrosexual, or gay, we all pre-judge others that are different from us. The period of time, 1963, where this story starts, I was 14 years old with thoughts similar to Ennis`s. Afraid to look at my true feelings because tho
Anyone that says this movie was good is doing it to promote that lifestyle. Not a bad idea if you think about it. Not worth paying for.
No need to show full nudity and love seen. I did not appreciate this film.
I have been waiting to see this movie for months, and I was not disappointed. This is a beautiful, quiet, incredibly moving love story between two superbly drawn characters. The film stays remarkably faithful to the short story upon which it is based--some of the dialogue is verbatim--and the two leading actors give brilliant and subtly nuanced performances. The cinematography is beautiful without feeling artificial, and the score is sparing yet emotionally powerful. An absolute masterpiece and one film I cannot wait to own.
Absolutely breathtaking.
Brilliant film. It made me feel like I was right there. Heath Ledger portrayed Ennis` emotions with incredible skill. May be the best performance I`ve ever seen on film in 50 years. My only criticism: The love scenes were too cursory and designed to fend off the homophobes. It`s my only criticism after seeing it once. Going back tomorrow to see it again. "I swear to you...."
