Brokeback Mountain

When: 8 Mar 2006 (Wednesday)

Where: GV Marina

What: Drama, Romance & Western

Synopsis: An epic love story, set against the sweeping landscapes of Wyoming and Texas, that tells the story of two young men--a ranch-hand and a rodeo cowboy--who meet in the summer of 1963 while driving cattle on a mountain range. They unexpectedly forge a lifelong connection, one whose complications, joys and tragedies provide a testament to the endurance and power of love.

 

My take: There's been so much hype about this I've wanted to watch it for the longest time! Finally arranged to watch it last night - despite nearly not making it, after what happened and what not... But glad we did because it was nice. I thought the pace was a bit slow, but not too draggy and generally rather touching, especially the part when he first discovered the blood stained shirts hung together... and at the end when we see that he kept the shirts but this time, with the white one outside and the blue inside. Its intimation was subtle but resounding. And very heart-rending...
