Title: Brokeback Mountain
Score:
Remarks: Brokeback Mountain is not staggering in its impact on you because of superficial concern for characters, but for how it somehow seduces you into confronting vicariously your own thwarted dreams, missed opportunities, thinly covered disappointments - even shame of your own unhappiness; so too your first loves, your great loves, the memory of love. One is 'ambushed' by one's own phantoms and fondest memories in potent and distilled form. It's not so much the movie that won't seem to leave us as our own soul's joys, sorrows and hopes, surfaced and in need of the light of day.
