I just got back from Brokeback Mountain. It was an excellent film. I had read the short story a long time ago, so I knew the story. I thought the screenplay was very well written - it's tricky to take something short and make it long, but this worked. In fact, upon reading the short story, I had wanted more anyway.

Heath Ledger was incredible. I was blown away by his fierce, vulnerable performance.

And the story? It's so much more than a "gay cowboy film". So, so much more.

In yesterday's New York Times Opinion section, Larry "Curb Your Enthusiasm" David wrote a piece explaining that he can't see the movie b/c he is so easy to influence, so easy to sell things to, that the movie would probably push him to be both a cowboy and a gay. So he can't risk it. ;-)
