Brokeback Mountain

Right. If we can for one moment try and forget that i am one of Jake Gyllenhaal's biggest fans (Shush... I know that's difficult :)...I would like to now to put in my 5c worth of Brokeback Mountain praise!

I mean I won’t lie…I did blush and squirm a leeeetle at the sex scene near the beginning? But not half as much as I’d prepared myself to and if I'm extra honest I tend to panic and try change channels on the TV sometimes when I'm in a shy mood? It doesn't really make sense I know.
But really! Very good movie! Excellent performances by both actors and Michelle! I love [erformances where speaking isn't necessary to get emotions across? You kinda can just see the awkwardness, the playfulness and later the love. You can see on her side the betrayel she's' feeling and understand it? It’s NUTS!!! It really is tragic!

The thing is it's terrible because it's a story of an affair. I mean it is about forbidden love because they were men but you can completely identify with it because affairs between two people who love each other but just can't be with each other are happenning everyday and have been happening forever. And people always get hurt and relationships always suffer and take strain and people will always question whether it's worth it and whether it should ever have been allowed to happen and whether you should strive for what you think will make you happier and take a leap or whether you should stay where you are and be happy with what you've already found
or whether the whole thing is just inevitable?

Is it that if it happens it was MEANT to and then you follow along the ride and handle the rocks in the road as they appear.

then again... it could mean little of this to me and I could have just enjoyed the movie because Ang Lee and all his actors are brilliant and it's a very GOOD story.

Back to normal non analytical Keyn!
GO ANG LEE!!!
I really will add it to my list of movies I like!
Let me know if you see it?

Next gonna watch Tsotsi!!! Can’t wait!
