Okay, I think that many guys actually love this movie but will be hard pressed to actually admit it.
Putting the content aside for now, it's a superbly shot film that just oozes aesthetic prowess. The presence of the cast is so powerful and relatable. The melodrama story is a classic Hollywood tearjerker but adds a soft touch that is rarely seen in cinema, the soundtrack is great and is one of my favourite soundtrack scores!
The content is quite obviously very controversial and is some ways this controversy is what brought the film to forefront of the our screens that year, it helped propel the film to such high standards and wide acclaim. Without such a ground-breaking concept 'Brokeback' may have been lost, or at least not as widely appreciated. It is nonetheless incredible.
My Favourite Bit = When Ennis kicks the crap out of those guys at the firework show, brilliant, and all captured in an epic low angle shot! You all know the one I'm talking about.
