A well made story of two men hiding their love for each other over the span of many years. But once you step back and look at it objectively, is the movie good because of the controversy that surrounds it or does it work on the merits of a good love story by itself? Without the gay aspect, this would have been a very boring love story that wouldn’t have made nearly as much noise as it did. But still a decent view.
Great performances by Ledger and Gyllenhaal with a weaker supporting cast. Namely Anne Hathaway.
Some of the most beautiful cinematography I have seen in recent years.
