BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN

It's truly one of the best films I have seen in the last couple of years...

It will rank right up there on my list with IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, WIZARD OF OZ, and AMERICAN BEAUTY... it's that good.

I am still letting it all sink in... and I can't seem to really compose all of it right now...
It's one of those movies that really affects you.

A few things:
*Ledger has made his mark. He's AMAZING. Simply amazing. I have not seen work like that in a long time. (I usually hate him... but not anymore.) I think he can start planning his Oscar speech...
*Jake Gyllenhaal is great... in a different way...
*The script is so brilliant. It says so much with so little...
*The cinematography is remarkable... beautiful images.
*Solid direction
*AMAZING supporting cast (Randy Quaid... yes, Randy Quaid... imparticular)

My advice:
SEE IT.
It's this year's BEST PICTURE.
