Brokeback Mountain
A thoroughly depressing and heartbreaking movie about how life sucks if you're gay and a cowboy in the 1960's. Trust me...I was still feeling it the next day. (Jacket Scene..I was like ok enough, make it stop!)
Beautiful scenery, and amazing performances from both Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal... especially Heath for totally outdoing Ryan in the brooding/internalized pain arena. (Phaps a 'fishing' trip with Seth could recapture the angst)
I espeically loved the music... too many Oscar hopefuls resort to that over the top orchestral shit that so desperately try to make u feel that it instead comes off corny and manipulative. The guitar stuff they played in the movie was great: simple, and lonesome, complementing the ranch/outback setting of the film.
9/10
