brokeback mountain

i watched brokeback mountain recently. very touching movie. and i watched it on a bluray copy..so it was even more marvelous. i'm sure most people have already seen it so i'm not gonna do some critical review or something.

heath ledger played ennis del mar brilliantly. i don't know how ang lee did the audition process but it was the perfect choice. the gay scenes, i have to say, look very animalistic! haha..

the soundtrack is amazing and very fitting. before this, i never was a fan of country music..but the selection was amazing. my favourite was teddy thompson's "i don't wanna say goodbye", emmylou harris' "a love that will never grow old". i know when i'm obsessed with something. i start you tubing like crazy till my eyes get tired and shutdown. this was literally what happened. emmylou has 12 grammy's. shit. she's been alive since..a long time. and rufus wainwright also sings on the ost.."the maker makes". amazing stuff. and of course gustavo's score won best score for the oscars. when i first popped the disc into my pc..the menu appeared with this beautiful music playing in the background. so my expectations increased just a tiny bit. haha.

and the score has a basic theme but expands slowly, adding strings to it. my favourite piece is the last track on the ost, ''the wings''.

this movie was actually a blind buy for me. wasn't playing on buying..but i don't know. i guess something drew me to it.

this is one of teddy thompson's. not from the movie. ''tonight will be fine''.
