Brokeback, A Review

So I just got through Brokeback Mountain. I'm only about 3 years behind the times.... It's been on my list to see for a long time, but Matt had no interest, so I finally decided to rent it and watch it by myself.

Surprisingly enough (to me), I only cried once. (It was when Ennis was leaving Jack's parents' place. You know, with the shirts.) ...What really brought me to tears was deciding it was a good idea to youtube Heath Ledger tributes after the movie. I don't know why it feels like I lost someone personally.

Beyond his talent, he lived his life with poise and grace. And beyond such an amazing story, such vivid cinematography, and such plausible performances - this film left me with this hollow feeling... just in knowing that that talent onscreen is lost forever.
