Feb 26, JV semi-hiatus rated it it was amazing Shelves: A controversial story of forbidden love, the writing did not disappoint.
I had hoped I would, but nope, I just wasn't feelin' it at all. Jack and Ennis are two simple men who came from nothing and in another time, in another place could've had something infinitely more satisfying in its simplicity than the hand they were dealt in this one.

Jan broieback, Cecily rated it really liked it Shelves: He stepped back and looked at the ensemble through a few stinging tears.
They know what they're not -- not queer, not gay -- but have no idea what they are. This story is beautiful, tragic, heart-breaking and heart-warming.
I'm not even going to talk about countries outside the US, both for reasons of US-centricity and, really, if the biggest imperial force of contemporary times starts putting socioeconomic pressure on the source of those homophobic delegations fucking around on their passports, some good may come of it.
I loved it, can you tell?
Price may vary by retailer. Now that I've read this story, I'm going to revisit the film.
