Brokeback isn't for bitches

If you fancy a big fat cry... go see Brokeback Mountain. What a grand story!

It relies wholly on character and landscape to develop the storyline, and that's something I really like. It's not overdone or sentimental at all. And while the pacing was a little slow sometimes, there's just no other way to tell the story. Two people, falling deeply in like and lust and love over a span of 20 years... it just has to unfold... it can't be rushed...

(BONUS: the movie is full of butt-scenes, ranging from anal intercourse to bathing in the river. It's usually hard-- no pun intended-- for me to watch the former, having only seen the anal penetration scene in "PULP FICTION" before. But-- again, no pun-- the one in Brokeback isn't violent--it's more a long look into just how deep their desire for one another is... it's like you can see how long it's been taken for each of them to meet someone they can openly be THEMSELVES around, so when you see it it looks like release, relief, the beginning of comfort....)
