Brokeback Mountain
I wanna watch Brokeback Mountain!!!
It sounds so touching... the trailer is so promising.
And like all the movies i've wanted to watch this year, it follows the trend of being a movie adoption of a novel - the other movies are HP & The Goblet of Fire, Memoirs of a Geisha, The Da Vinci Code (due out next year), n now... BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN!!
Check out the movie trailer at their website below:
http://www.brokebackmountainmovie.com/splash.html
Did i say the director is LEE ANG?
I didn't? Well, the director is Lee Ang.
(Or rather Ang Lee, now that he's in Hollywood-the-land-where-they-put-ya-surnames-
at-the-back-of-ya-first-name-a.k.a.-Ziyi-Zhang).
He's a genius i tell u, he's wonderful!
Aside from being the pride of Chinese (having made it big in Hollywood n getting all those Americans to empty their pockets to watch Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. HAHA), he has also brought me BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN!!
Have i already said how wonderful he is?
*scrolls up to check*
oh...i did already.
OK, he's fantastic i tell u!
He's really a genius.
How many un-homosexual (i noe i shd use the term heterosexual, but this term fits more appropriately in this context, trust me) directors are willing to gamble their reputation n rice bowl in the movie industry by taking on the challenge of making a mainstream movie out of a novel/script that centers around homosexual love?
n we noe he's not gay cos of his previous two muses, Gong Li and Ziyi Zhang, rite?
Anyway, the gist of the story is how two cowboys started a frenship which turned into something more. True love. But as with all true loves, there're many obstacles to overcome. Especially with theirs.
I hope America or any other narrow-minded pple wun trash this movie. Its literature, pure art i tell u! Its such a beautiful n heart-wrenching love story. If i haven already so many novels to read (my desk is creaking with their combined weight. ok, i'm joking. thats my homework), i'll run out now to buy the novel!!
I read in a review how difficult it was to cast this movie, and how agents and managers kept insisting that it would be "professional suicide" to take on leading roles such as these.
Good for Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger for having the guts and conviction to take this on!
And another evidence of genius on the scriptwriters part, aside from the novel being written by Pulitzer-prize award-winning Annie Proulx and the screenplay being penned by also another Pulitzer-award-winning Larry McMurtry; they had to take wat was originally an 11-page short story and expand it to a feature length film!!
Genius i tell u! Pure genius!!
Pls watch the movie man, pls pls pls!!!
Or if u can't, download it from the internet. Or get pirated DVDs. Lolx!
Just watch it! Its too good to miss.
