What can I say about Brokeback Mountain that hasn't been said already? That it is a love story, sweet and tender? That it is heartbreakingly sad yet beautiful? That it is a must-watch?
I saw the movie, couldn't get it out of my head. Finally got my hand on Proulx's story, read it twice one night. The movie is as sparsely laid out as the book, very little by way of dialog or lines. Long silences, meaning hidden in the small gestures, words and sighs.
What can be more romantic than tucking one's shirt inside the beloved's? What can be sweeter than swaying to sleep, gently standing?
Wanted to write more but the words dried up. Come to think of it, this post does a good job as it is.
