Great story, Beautifully shot
Added 11/3/2009
Great scenery, great story, great screenplay. Heath Ledger was outstanding.
One of the top movies for 2005 easily. Good job Ang Lee. So much is told thru
the slightest of hints, not a wasted scene.

An over-rated film about gay love
Added 10/3/2009
I had no qualms about viewing this highly praised movie since I've seen in the past such films as "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" (directed by the gay director, John Scheslinger) and a highly rated Movie for TV "That Certain Summer" with Hal Holbrook as a divorced "out of the closet" gay man dealing with his young son's discovery about why his parents divorced. These films were both excellent and I looked forward to seeing this film but I was disappointed. Despite excellent acting from Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams, the film left me cold. I think one of the reasons was that the film focused a little too much on the two male characters and less on the women. My question too was did Anne Hathaway's character know that her husband was gay--and what were the consequences that resulted in their marriage. Maybe director Ang Lee's approach is a little too detached for this material and also the writing had too many questions unanswered for me to fully enjoy this film. Sorry but "Crash" though not a perfect film really deserved the Best Picture Oscar.

Heart-breaking, stunning, beautiful.
Added 9/27/2009
This movie broke my heart, it really did. I can't remember the last time I cried after/during a movie. All of the people that are giving this movie 1 star ratings and bad reviews obviously have a problem with the subject matter of the film and are disgusting people. This movie is about what true love is and should be -- it is not based on gender, rules or any stereotypes that go along with gender/culture, but instead just two oridinary people who find themselves in deeply in love and can't deny the passion they have for each other. I can't stop thinking about this movie, it has been haunting me and has been keepin' me wondering... the ending has left me speechless even after watching it three times, and I plan to do it again and maybe again...

Ending Song is wrong
Added 9/26/2009
I have loved this movie since it first came out--acting, scenery, plot. One thing has bugged me though. For a good production, they let it go out with what I consider a major mispronounciation in the ending song. Maybe only a westerner would know, but the word in "get along little dogie" is pronounced with a long o--it means stray calf. The singer says doggie, which is wrong.
