olorielSo, back from Brokeback Mountain. I'm probably the last person on this planet to have seen it...
I'm always so terribly grateful when a movie everybody hypes about is actually as good as everyone says. Otherwise, I'll go in with sky-high expectations and am terribly disappointed. Not this time, though; they were fulfilled.
The movie was good. Beautiful. Touchingly amusing in the beginning, heart-wrenching later, sad and frustrating and yet, in the end, strangely satisfying in that it felt like yes, that was the story. I wished for an alternate ending, of course. A hundred different endings, all happy ones, or, at least, differently sad ones. As it was, it was bitter-sweet. But it worked, and it felt true. Not right, but true.
Bed, now.
