Movie Brokeback Mountain
Nutshell In 1963, two cowboys (are they cowboys if they are sheep herding?), I mean, two sheepherders go up a mountain and come down in love. It goes badly after and what brings them together is not as big as what keeps them apart.
Good Things Michelle Williams, Heath Ledger, general acting and cast, big lubb, Linda Cardellini dancing in a tube top and famolares, cute dog, a fireworks shot I would like to graft onto the back of my eyelids
Bad Things Rodeo, too much spitting, sad reality of constant Thanksgiving fight picking, unironic 80's fashions that made my spleen convulse
Features Jake Gyllenhaal, Randy Quaid, Anne Hathaway, Anna Faris, sort of a lot of sheep herding and fighting but even more great McMurtryness a la Last Picture Show
Uncomfortable Moments This is not the fault of the movie but the phrase "I wish I could quit you." sends me into hysterics and so I sounded like, "HAaaaa-snorkle-snorf-" at a very dramatic point in the movie.
Notable I already knew the ending and basic story going in to see this movie (thank you asshole co-workers!) so a lot of the power of the story didn't hit me. Sad but true.
Best Part Michelle Williams taking names and kicking some acting ass.
Best Line "Ennis, girls don't fall in love with fun!" (This is true as I am totally bff with fun but only in love with love.)
Crowns 4 out of 5
