I have now seen BM around a dozen times, you have to watch it alone to truly appreciate its beauty. Its the most beautiful enchanting movie i have EVER seen, and I will love it forever. Performances by Jake and Heath were outstanding. They handled the whole thing with integrity and honour and the fact that they were gay was irrelevant, it's a beautiful love story that most people can relate to in some way, whether gay, straight or bisexual. The visuals are stunning, Ang Lee is an amazing director. The scene when jack comes to visit at his house Ennis for the first time after their Brokeback experience and they kiss, it gets me every time, you really feel its real and as I said, everyone can relate to missing someone so much that when you find them again you don't want to let go, even the first love scene which is pretty brutal, well what do you expect form 2 cowboys at this time living in the deep south? As there relationship develops so does the intimacy and tenderness. I very rarely feel compelled to write on these things and I'm not a particularly romantic or slushy kinda girl but Brokeback is one of a kind and I think it can teach people a lot and really make you look at your life and relationships in a different light. yes I know it's just a movie but a frickin amazing one, and if it can make me (a fairly level headed person) go all dewy eyed than it's gotta be something special!! And boys don't dismiss it just coz it might threaten your masculinity, give it a chance and open you eyes!
