A lovestory to be appreciated by all
Probably the most romantically painful film you'll ever see. It's beautiful cinematography will leave you breathless as well as the incredible performances by Jake Gyllenhaal and in particular Heath Ledger.
Set in the wilds of Wyoming and Texas it follows the love affair of two very different people who long to be together yet are forced apart by society. Only nature is forcing them back together. The torment is torrential. Besides being very sexy young cowboys there is an element of empathy that you cannot help but feel for the both of them and can fully understand how and why they conducted their affair as they did. Although over 2 hours long it effortlessly flows into a torrent of emotions on all parts. The whole film did upset me from previous experience and up-bring ing and took me a good couple of days to calm down afterwards. All praise be to Ang Lee that will hopefully change a lot of attitudes with this film and break down even more barriers. You will not be disappointed with the film you will not forget. |
