lightning strikes twice

A great movie. This was moving and emotional, but without being overly sentimental or soppy. It had hard edges (Brokeback was set in the Texas and Wyoming), and examined what a life of denial involves. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal were fantastic, even if Heath looked about 23 for the entire movie – the ‘aging’ process consisted of making his sideburns gradually longer and bushier, while his skin was made slightly browner.

Very worthwhile.

9/10
