Movies: Brokeback Mountain (2005) starring Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal

Last night, they rented Brokeback Mountain from State St's Blockbuster. The DVD is so hot that we had to hide it somewhere (in the afternoon) so that we would be able to rent it when we return the other DVD later into the night.

Everyone knows this winner of 3 Academy Awards which caused quite a stirr in the community. Well, it's a gay cowboy movie, what do you expect? And it's directed by a Chinese, Ang Lee. It's titled "Secreto en la montaƱa" in Mexico. (=Secrets in/on the Mountains). LOL :D

I was told that it was gonna last 3 hours. I tucked myself under the mini blanket and layed (laid?) slouchily on the sofa. The build-up was very boring. If I was watching alone, if it wasn't for the occasional teaser scenes of nudity or homosexual secrecy, I'd stopped watching.

The whole story circles around the relationship of 2 cowboys who worked/hooked up one summer near Brokeback mountain. After the job was done, they went seperate ways and were not to meet until 4 years later. By then, each has a family, you know, wife and kids. They would then go on frequent "fishing trips" and enjoy the time like they did on Brokeback mountain 4 years ago. One of the two eventually died. And the story unfolds.

Yes, I watched Brokeback Mountain. Peace out.
