Brokeback MountainWent to watch this movie, which i had been looking forward to since it was released, with Felicia today. What to say, it was really not what i expected.
Frankly speaking, i'm a person who can't resist touching scenes and although i normally don't like to show my weaker side to others, i do cry easily when i come across such scenarios. (Note: this only applies to movies and tv shows, otherwise, i hate to cry in public.)
However, this movie failed to reach my heartstrings and it certainly didn't feel as touching as it's supposed to be, much to my disappointment. The most i felt was a tinge of sadness when Jack died. I wonder if it was due to the story or were the actors not able to bring out the characters' feelings and thinkings to the optimum. [On a sidenote, are the actors gay in reality? Or not? That might explain some things.]
Come to think of it, maybe it's the soundtrack, or the lack thereof. In my opinion, music stirs the heart, and the movie is really too quiet at times.
Another thing to mention is that if it was not for the subtitles, i would not able to fully make out what the acters were saying, due to their strong accents/slangs, and there's no problem with my hearing by the way. And Ennis' voice just rubbed me in the wrong way, seemed not to fit in with his image.
And what's with Jack's moustache?!? It just kills his good looks! Not every middle-aged guy has to have a moustache. Then why don't they put a moustache on Ennis?? -_-"
No matter what, moustache just turns me way off.
In short, the movie was a little too boring and draggy to me. Kinda disappointing.
Actually the funny thing is, i didn't realise this movie is R21 until after the movie when Fel mentioned that she's only 19. ......... OMG i'm so sorry Felicia's mum! I didn't mean to teach your daughter bad things!!! :x Actually i totally forgot Fel's not yet 21 either.. sorry Fel. *bows head in shame* >_<;;;
