Brokeback Mountain

I finally saw 'Brokeback Mountain' last weekend and it was absolutely brilliant. I loved it. It is a tad slow but that does not take anything away from the film's virtues. The Wyoming scenery is mind blowing. I wasn't sure how much I would like the film since I had read such good things about it. So my expectations were sky high which often make you appreciate a film less. But 'Brokeback Mountain' was even better than what the critics said. I would recommened it to each and everyone. Here is one film which deserves the Oscars it gets (here's hoping). It is more about love and companionship than homosexuality. I can't help but compare it to some of the other outstanding love stories that I have liked such as 'The English Patient', 'The Bridges of Madison County' and 'Out of Africa'. Once in a while Hollywood comes out with films such as these and redeems itself from the usual trash (exceptions apart) it churns out every year.
