Reviews - Brokeback Mountain

Yeah, no wonder they made this into a movie that became as big as it is.

In 55 pages you get more love and heartbreak than a person should be capable of experiencing. Can't believe it's so short, but there's not a word wasted.

When reading original books/stories of films I’ve seen many times before, I almost expected the short story to be completely different from the film. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the film stayed true to the text and just expanded on the relationships further. Brilliant storytelling.

"There was some open space between what he knew and what he tried to believe, but nothing could be done about it, and if you can’t fix it you’ve got to stand it."

Terrible writing style, the plot twist comes way too fast and is handled without any grace. Not very good.

Just watch the film.
The short story isn't worth it.
