What? No thread on BBM? Confused

I found it okay but nothing much more than that. I can't even say I liked the way it looked, which is what I usually like with Mr Lee.

Pretty good portrayal of two people in love and struggling with the world in which they find themselves though. But if you're looking for risque, forget it.

The sheep have it!!!!

There's one in the 'general film' section. But there isn't a single post on it that would agree with your sentiments.
I don't think the film was ever trying to be risqué ... it would have been a pretty piointless film if the intention was for it to be shocking. I think it was honest and through that honesty beautiful. Sorry if I sound like a pretentious plank but this is one of the most hauntingly awesome films I have seen in a long time. It isn't very often that I think about ...and feel affected by a film days after I watch it. But I did with Brokeback. The guys who wrote the screen play did a wonderful job of expanding on Proulxs novella, the direction and cinematography was beautiful and the acting, by all memvers of the cast, was outstanding. imho.

Moonstone, that's ok. I don't think it's required that anyone or everyone agrees with me or vice versa. Cool

Don't be sarcy, petal. I don't think I ever said it was a neccesity for everyone to agree on what the film was like. Of course not everyone will like it it's just that you are the first person I've heard say they didn't rate it very highly, jeez, some people are so touchy .... Razz

I really enjoyed it but it didn't move me as much as I thought it would. There should have been explration of how the relationship of the lead character went from have a brief relationship into falling in love. Heath Leger was fanastic though and should get the Oscar for his performance

I've only just seen this film and I thought it was just as good as I expected it to be.

I agree with the previous comment that there wasn't enough feeling put in when they were 'falling in love' but Heath Ledger hugging the shirts towards the end made up for it.


Pass me the remote love.....

I agree. I was dragged, kicking and screaming to this movie by the wife and I was completely sure I would hate it. After having seen it I have to say that it was really an eye-opener. It made me think about things and the way I viewed other people. Very moving tale, at least for me.

Wobble: There are essentially no explicit scenes in the movie although it still might make many uncomfortable anyway.

I don't know about anybody else, but the very thought of it makes me feel sick.

i really want to see this! I've seen all Jake's other films and he's just a brilliant actor, not to mention possibly the most attractive man on the planet.

I thought it was astounding with wonderful performances from the whole cast. A haunting and desperatly sad study about love. Not about sex. I so wanted it to end with Ennis and Jack finding some happiness, some lasting joy in their lives.
I cried at the scene between Ennis and Jack's mother, esp when she saw he had the shirt. The poor mother was another lost soul blighted by secrets and the repressive atmosphere of their culture. A masterpiece.

Me too. That whole scene was so powerful. The desolation and repression.....it's hard for me to find the words to express just how powerful and raw it was.

The only weakness in the film for me was Anne Hathaway....I didn't think she was quite the right person for the role, although she did get the bitterness across, her performance wasn't as good as the rest of the cast.

Perhaps you shouldn't think about it then, back into your closet for you. Wink Big Grin
