Brokeback Mountain...

We've just come back from seeing this movie and I don't think I've teared up quite so much in a movie, as I did with this.

For me, the hype and furore surrounding this movie, although made it more enticing to go see, did not make me rush out to buy tickets and I don't know how I waited so long. I suppose if I knew what I was missing, I wouldn't have been able to wait.

In short, it is a true love story and I would have to say, probably the first time I've ever watched Heath Ledger in any movie and actually liked him.

Perhaps it also helped to know that he and Michelle Williams met and fell in love on this movie set. Kinda sweet.

Anyway, I highly recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't seen it, or to those who aren't quite sure that they can trust their senses to accept this movie for what it basically is - a long, enduring love story, played out very discreetly and sweetly. There's no uncomfortable, awkward moments and I noticed that those in the small cinema that we were fortunate enough to see it in, genuinely loved the movie and were enthralled from start to finish.

It kinda sounds poetic, but I'd have to say that there aren't many movies that move me to tears and there aren't many which I'd want to see again. Definitely a movie I'd like to own when it comes out on DVD.

The other good part about seeing this movie is hopefully it's the first in a long list of movies we see. I'd like to get that part of my social life back! Saving for a house can kill your social life; having a mortgage doesn't help much more, but you can at least go see a movie every now and again!

Off to bed!
