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.

Sorry for not writing anything here earlier, but this stupid paper for Chinese literature has me going completely bonkers over here. *kicks it*
I am glad you enjoyed the movie though, I've seen sooooo many cute icons from that movie on LJ and I cannot wait to actually find the time to go and watch it. Did you watch it in German or in English?
I'll hopefully catch you on AIM again, once I've shot, stuffed and mounted this vicious creature of a story.

Date: 2006-03-23 10:29 am (UTC)uttersmumbles, was probably not entirely wrong... I'll definitely watch it in English once the DVD's out, though.Good luck with that nasty short story and term paper!
