I went to see this movie expecting to want to see it again and again. The best word I could use to describe it would be disappointing. I really wanted to like it, I was prepared to be blown away and to leave the theatre in absolute awe. Instead I left the theatre feeling very flat. The scenery was breathtaking, and the story was unique. But it was just pretty flat. I will say that I loved the characters, and I thought that Heath and Jake did a great job, and should be commended for taking on the roles of two guys exploring their sexuality.

It has a powerful message that I hope will foster tolerance but I found it to be a very slow moving movie and it didn`t live up to all the hype. Most movies these days don`t.

It is a very emotional story. As the movie evolves, I begin to see the two men`s relationship simply as a relationship of two lovers who really want to be together, but struggles due to the cruelity of the society`s acceptance. Ang Lee puts the viewers right into the actor`s position. It is a beautiful story of love, humanity and struggle. The music also works very beautifully with the film.

I gave this 4 stars. The acting was good - not great but good. They must have been very hard roles for these gorgeous straight actors. I was not as touched with the movie as others were - a lot of sniffling could be heard in the theatre towards the end. The ending itself could have been better - one was left with a feeling of needing more answers. I am glad I went to see this movie but would not go and see it again.
