Last night was an amazing evening. I went to the movies and saw a powerfully romantic movie; “Brokeback Mountain”. The story is of two cowboys who met over a summer herding sheep on Brokeback Mountain in Wyoming. Coming from two different backgrounds sharing the commonality of being poor these two men fell in love with each other. The love affair spans some 20 years with both of the men getting married and having children. One of them was willing to leave everything behind and follow his heart and love the other for the rest of his life. The other was in fear and denial and was too afraid to follow his heart and just love the man who had his heart. It is a story of lost and love. It’s sensitive and tells a story that could’ve happened and a story that needed to be told. The acting was powerful and convincing and most defiantly Oscar worthy. What was even more amazing the crowd it was a sold out show was very mixed. From Straight couples on a date to older men and women to gay men I have never seen such a mix crowd enjoying a movie like this. It’s an indicator that society is becoming more mature and accepting. When it was over everyone gave a thunderous applause. So this is another one of my picks. Its good people yeah and I did cry in this movie as well. The lesson I took a way was, “love strong and follow your heart because regret and love lost is worse than anything”.
GO SEE THE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SEE YOU ON THE MOUTAIN

reading your review almost made me cry again.
Brokeback Mountain was off the hook. I more passionate poignant story of lost love between to men has never told.
And you right, it does make you wanna reach out for what you really love ... because life keeps rolling, time keeps going, and nobody wants to cuddle with an old denim shirt when they could've had the real thing.
So basically, the message for me was 'Go for yours. No matter what. Just do it.'
I getting misty again.
I was wondering who was gonna mention this film. I have not seen it but so far I have heard good reviews.
When you're right you're right, "Brokeback Mountain" is one of the best movies of the year.
