Colony Review: Brokeback Mountain

After the horrible news about Heath Ledgers sudden and unexpected death, QueenBees around the world were shocked and saddened that such a great talent had been taken away from the world and his child at such a young age.

The mere thought of Heath takes me back to his performance as Ennis del Mar in Brokeback Mountain, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award. While the movie received alot of flack and was the butt of many jokes due to its "cowboys in love" theme, the real plot and purpose of the movie was to show that love has no bounds, and when you love someone it consumes your whole being, it is undeniable, and it is both simple & pure and chaotic & carnal.

The entire cast was phenomenal, from Ledger's to Jake Guyllenhaal's portrayals of hard and rough cowboys who fell in love to their wives, played by Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway, who were both deceived, but dealt with their lives in totally different ways. The movie was excellent from beginning to end, and even though it was, of course, tinged with controversy, it stood true to its goal and put out one of the most torrid and real love stories in history.

R.I.P Heath Ledger, may your talent be forever remembered and revered!
