For me, this movie started out way toooooo slow. I really could not stand the silence at the beginning. I completely understand why Ang Lee insisted on the use of silence. It made the viewer focus on the nature surrounding the two men. Like we discussed in class, the landscape almost became another character, which I thought was really interesting because not many movies take the time to develop and emphasize. I thought Ang Lee used nature as an escape for the two men. No matter what they had going on in their lives with their wives and childrens, they were always able to escape Brokeback Mountain. Brokeback Mountain had so much open space and so few people that no one could judge them and look down on them for what they were doing. The only people's opinions they needed to be concerned about were their true feelings for each other.
Like I mentioned in class, I really didn't like the film at all, but I definitely appreciated it and understand why many people enjoy it and why it won so many awards.
