"Brokeback thoughts..."
"Poor is the man,
whose pleasures depend upon the permission of another"
-- from Justify My love video of her royal highness Madonna.
Finally, I was able to watch Brokeback on DVD. I was really blown away...
I loved it! Heath Ledger (Ennis Del Mar) should win an award... any award... he was so good! The conflicting emotions are his burden to carry; Jack Twist (Jake G) is such a flirt on this movie.
The movie started off innocently enough, Fred and Jack are looking for a job, herding sheep on Brokeback Mountain (ok... the names of the place and the characters are freudian in nature... Jack Twist, Brokeback (their backs were broken? weheheeh )...)
At the onset, there was tension. Jack (I am not being stereotypical) but at first sight, I think Jack already had a thing for Ennis the first time they met. What with those colorful outfits, whatever his character says, he's really the dandy one!
Ok, off they went to the mountain to do some sheep grazing... but it was boring! Imagine, staying on a mountain, watching sheep, all day and night. No wonder these two boys got bored and found some excitement.
Was it lust or love? Hmmmm... I have to buy the book to find out. I really can't tell with the movie. Those darn accents really drove me crazy... the subtitles were bad... so I have to give really do some serious lip reading.. Heath's accent was unintelligible... truly barbaric and sexy...
I love it... the movie was brave.. and so are the actors who played the characters. This movie will go down in history... not for its superb acting or cinematography but for its sheer courage to tell a story ... about a love that is ahead of its time (setting of the movie was 1960s)...
"I wish I had a way to quit you..." hayyy... so romantic...
