Garnering 8 Oscar Nominations and 2005 Golden Globes' Best Picture, Brokeback Mountain is really worth watching. Brokeback Mountain is so much more than merely a gay movie. Based on the E. Annie Proulx story about a forbidden and secretive relationship between two cowboys and their lives over the years. Ennis played by Heath Ledger and Jack played by Jake Gyllenhaal, were both assigned to heard sheep in Brokeback Mountain. One cold morning, the two cowboys suddenly found themselves in the arms of each other which started out as a wrestling match --- and this is where and when their love starts to sprung out. As soon as they were done hearding the sheep, their communication was cut. Fortunately, after more than four years, this two cowboys finally found each other again, both having families of their own, still in love with each other. And from then on, they find time to be together in Brokeback Mountain and that is now where the storyline will revolve. The story becomes more and more complex as characters and events take place.

     Brokeback Mountain perfectly captures what true, unbridled love is all about and this love transcends issues of sexuality or gender. It perfectly makes a new meaning for love --- a force of nature. Indeed, the two cowboys did not force themselves to fall in love with each other since they were not gays at all. But nature allowed it and their urges were rediscovered. Brokeback is not graphic and not a thin line of it is phornographic. It is more of touching the emotional sides of the viewers rather than the visual. There were some dull moments though, too much scenery and landscape scenes making it similarly almost like a MARLBORO CIGARETTE COMMERCIAL. I almost fell asleep during these scenes. Sometimes it takes to be a gay to be able to relate with this kind of movie. I sure was able to relate to it, I just so wish I also have someone in my own Brokeback Mountain. For sure, moralists, Christians and the rest of the society would probably want to ban this because until now this kind of relationship is still unacceptable. But who knows, someday it'll be. Indeed, this movie broke barriers and I'm giving it 4/5 stars!!!

     But before watching the film, everything was a mess. Rhitzjoy had to cut his 3:40pm class, Jeffrey needs to be home before 7:00pm for a family party, Barry forgot the car, and I was freakin' sick. Thankfully we were able to watch and get to GREENBELT 3 on time even when J. P. RIZAL was a hot traffic mess. At first we planned of watching the movie at G4 but we were already 15 minutes late so we resorted to GB3 with a whoping 160php tickets instead of G4's 130php. I felt so poor that I needed to borrow money from Barry and Rhitzjoy. I missed the old days when I was so prosperous. And whoever said that OXEN are lucky this YEAR OF THE DOG!!! Hmph, anyhows, that's all for me right now Mr. T! Hope you liked my entry. I feel better now...
