Movie: Brokeback Mountain
As I’ve mentioned before, I live in the wilderness. Brokeback Mountain arrived just this weekend and is playing for only 1 week. I don’t know what that’s all about, but it’s the price we pay for clean air and rain every day of the year.
Has there ever been a movie with this much buzz? I have an acquaintance who said, “It may be the best movie I’ve ever seen.” Come on now. Let’s not go crazy. I’m a big Ang Lee fan, but best movie ever? Sometimes a movie is built-up so high that when you see it, you’re like, it was good, but I didn’t like it as much as I’d hoped.
I’m looking at reviews that are saying, “revolutionary”, “unmissable and unforgettable”, “exquisite taste”, “powerful performance”, and these from people who can write, not people like me. Did I bring up I’m a big fan of Larry McMurtry?
They are right about this movie.
