brokeback mountain (2005)


I will say that this is/was the best film that I saw all year. The film takes on the task of telling at its core a very involved love story among two cowboys. The two leads give great performances in the evolution of character/love. This film doesn't dwell/drill the fact that it has a gay theme, because powerful storytelling makes the love story very universal. Hats off to Mr. Ang Lee. The film is slow in pace(maybe too slow in some parts "really my only negative comment") but overall the pace suits the film's emotional drive.

The small guest appearances from some notable actors were a grand surprises. As well as good performance from newcomer Kate Mara. Michelle Williams delivers big, however Anne Hathaway is a little odd, and maybe missed casted.

Plus, my guy Rodrigo Prieto, ASC, AMC (the film's cinematographer and my favorite) makes a guest appearance as the Mexican prostitute.

I stand: GRATEFUL FOR HAVING STOOD IN LINE FOR AN HOUR TO SEE A FILM AND NOT A MOVIE.
