Brokeback Mountain

I ordered the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack CD a few days ago from Play. It arrived this morning.

I've been playing it ever since the postman delivered it.

Even the music from the movie moves me to tears.

No film has ever had such a deep emotional impact upon me.

Set against the sweeping vistas of Wyoming and Texas, the film tells the story of two young men - a ranch-hand and a rodeo cowboy - who meet in the summer of 1963 and unexpectedly forge a lifelong connection; one whose complications, joys and tragedies provide a testament to the endurance and power of love.

Love may cause you all manner of grief and heartache. But it's worth it. By loving Ennis the way he did, Jack's life was something of a living hell. But he went on living it because it was worth it.
