Brokeback Mountain (2005)
 |
This is a precious gem from the hands of Ang Lee and Annie Proulx. Brokeback Mountain is more than just a story about two gay comboys. It’s a story about love. A heartbreaking story about love that is politically incorrect. More than that, it is a movie about the complexity of life, where individuals’ lives are entangled (and sometimes clashed) with socially constructed norms and values of society.
This is perhaps one of the most beautiful movies in the last decade. Health Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal played the main characters brilliantly. So genuine and palpable. I love this movie, not because it’s a love story, nor because it is a controversial movie that bravely opened the sealed door of taboo, but because it comes close to perfection in telling an engaging story. The story and the characters came alive in the movie and affected me emotionally. |
Some people perhaps are uncomfortable with its subject and a storyline. But if you can get over them, you’ll find Brokeback Mountain to be an exquisitely beautiful, romantic, thrilling movie.
