Jen and I had some errands to run in town so we saw Brokeback Mountain.
Excellent film -- it is getting a lot of publicity because of the "kissing cowboys" but if you look past that at the actual people involved, you will find a jewel of a story about love, the strength of family and the human spirit. The casting was superb -- each of the characters portrays their lives with a palpable authority -- these are real people on the screen.
The story covers about 20-30 years in the lives of the protagonists. The makeup is well done and it was fun to follow the changes in the camping technology (from canvas four-pole tipi to Kelty dome) and culture (background music, cars, hairstyles and home decorations.
If you like complex stories about real people, this is a good one to see, if a bit tragic...
