So I finally got the chance to see Brokeback Mountain tonight. I've been looking forward to seeing this movie since I heard about it, oh about 5 months ago. It was amazing! I loved it so much. I had high expectations and it certainly delivered. The love story was so beautifully done and made me cry a bunch of times. I did miss about 15 minutes of the beginning (@%$& traffic) but luckily didn't miss any of the good parts ;) Ennis/Jack is my new favorite ship and soo cute together. I loved the silent, solid vs enthusiastic, fun complement they had. It was also of course, incredibly hot. Looved the wall kisses the most although that scene in the tent was good to. All in all, they definitely could have shown more but I'll give them credit for showing what they did. I read the short story which was wonderful and the movie followed it pretty well. My favorite scene was when Jack was sleeping standing up and Ennis walked over to him and put his arm around him *loves* So romantic. The scene before had the most heartbreaking lines though, very realistic and real and powerful. And the end was just..*cry* Awesome movie and I reeally hope it wins some of those awards its nominated for as well as the Oscar for best picture because it definitely deserves it. Very artistic and good acting throughout. I'd recommend to anyone.
With this movie, I'm hoping in the future they'll give us more slashy movies and hopefully some happy ones as well as the sad ones. There was a good crowd where I was and I know I'd like to see it another time and catch the beginning. Ahh I loove my gay cowboy movie *sigh* |

It's funny how sometimes, unexpectedly, life provides exactly what I need.
*Spoiler warning for all movies included in this*
Today was kind of a blah day for me. So I decided to watch some movies. First there was Remember the Titans. I loove that movie. There are just so many awesome characters first of all (one of my main criteria). Then I love the overcoming prejudice theme, the struggle for equality always hooks me. Not to mention I gotta love the sports drama. But definitely I loved the relationships between the characters and how they changed. And the slash was great hehe...Next I saw Gladiator. First I must state how much I love the Hans Zimmer's music. Soo freaking good. Mostly in this movie I really liked Maximus and his journey. And wow the tigers were soo beautiful *sigh*
The surprise was me watching Patch Adams, which i didn't have on tape. I only really watched it because on Television Without Pity they always call Dr. Abbott from Everwood, Patch and I wanted to know what this movie had to do with it. Now I'm so glad I did. I loved the beginning with him in the psychiatriac ward. The squirrel part was just hilarious. Robin Williams is a great actor and I really liked his character, seemed a bit NFish, even 9w1ish to me but not totally clear on that. Anyway, my favorite parts were the ones where he established such wonderful connections with patients. I loved the hospital scene with the children and how he brightened so many peoples lives was great. What really touched me was how he really cared about people even right upon meeting them and took the time to do something special. Plus I love (and admire) his unselfconciousness. I'm not even going to try to count the number of times I cried in this movie but that just shows how much it affected me. It was definitely exactly what the doctor ordered for me :)
Tomorrow: Harry Potter! Woohoo! |
