A quick review

Well, I saw Brokeback Mountain yesterday.
Well, I managed to get into Brokeback Mountain yesterday, (which is a miracle in itself…)
Well, I wept copiously at the end of Brokeback Mountain yesterday.
Well, I loved Brokeback Mountain.

It was brilliant. Absolutely brilliant…and NOT (before Kat and Tash butt in) because of the willy aerobics! There was only one instance of that, right at the beginning.

(If you don’t want to know the ending it’s probably not wise to read on.)

Oh, it was so sad, the way that they loved each other so much and could only meet a few times a year. Did anyone else choke up when Jack said, “I wish I knew how to quit you!”?

I think the best bit was a little while after that, when Ennis puts his arm around a young Jack and softly sang something (darn American accents – couldn’t hear what he said, or sung) and then walked away, and the older Jack, twenty years later, looked back at him and looked so sad and love-torn…ugh, it was heart wrenching.

In the good sense, though.

Another tear jerking moment…when Ennis gets his postcard back and it has “deceased” stamped on it, and he just stares at it for ages.

And yet another…when he’s at Jack’s house and finds his shirt, with blood on it, and hugs it and starts crying…(as did the rest of the cinema, including me.)

So yes, absolutely fandiddlytastic film. Reduced me to tears, so it must be good.


I'm sorry, I'm not really conveying how good this film is. It will make you think about it for hours on end the next day. It will make you reevaluate how painful love really is. Sorry if I sound sappy, but it's true. Anyway, gotta go!
