Most likely the pinnacle of Lee's career, Brokeback Mountain is a somber, evocative film that manages to highlight the underlying themes of fear, guilt, and violence that pervade its homosexual romance without distracting from the romance itself as a single, beautiful entity that pulses in the heart of the film. The actors are unanimously fantastic, Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal in particular as the two ranching cowboys hiding their love in the face of a society that won't accept them and families they love too much to hurt with the truth. Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway (finally leaving behind her wretched Disney years and getting the chance to prove what a wonderful actress she really is) are also stand-outs, and even Randy Quiad gets to shine in his brief yet important role. A beautiful film with quietly expressive direction, powerful music by Gustavo Santaolalla, and simply fantastic acting.

I just wanted to let you know how wonderfully I think you've written this review! If I could find words like the ones you've used here to describe things I'd have my readers in tears with every page. You, my friend, Rock!
Plus I liked this movie...it moved me and I think some people didn't understand it so much, because it wasn't set in todays times. :) |
