Brokeback Mountain (2005)

8/10

"Brokeback Mountain", I easily give it an A-/B+ on my movie rating scale. It was hard to push back the prejudice and expectations due to the loud criticism it received by media.

But let us push others' impressions aside and look why
"Brokeback Mountain" is worth seen. First of, it is beautifully shot. The views of the nature are picturesque and memorable. Camera work is thrilling, it reinforces the magnificent landscape and convinces the viewer as if I am a part of the scene.

Second,
the characters are amazing in all aspects - from development to performance. The cast of the "Brokeback Mountain" is beyond expectations. Each character is distinct and consistent: every move, every gesture, every facial expression - everything is real.

Third, the drama is powerful and nostalgic. The movie is not a Hollywood "happily ever after" story. It is truthful in the same way the characters are truthful to their believes. It is strange to see the ending, and want a better one.

"Brokeback Mountain" is one of its kind. Love drama is the essence of this film. Like or not, it brings us the rough truth and just one way of thinking.
