Brokeback mountain

This is the greatest movie of Ang Lee I ever watched. So touched by the true feelings between Ernest & Jack. In spite that each had his own family, they couldn't forget that year in brokeback mountain. Their love was also trapped there tragically by the cage of moral code, couldn't go any further. Jack was very brave and loyal to his love. Even he found sexual console in Mexico, he couldn't stop the killing pain of thinking about Ernest. After brokeback mountain, it seemed that it never occured to Ernest's mind again. But when he got Jack's postcard, he couldn't hide the ecstacy of seeing him again. A bounced postcard ended whole things. But it's the start for Ernest to live his life together with Jack in his heart.
The way Ang Lee expressed this deep affections is very delicate. I am sure the audience are moved by the scene that Ernest found his missing shirt in Jack's closet. At the moment separating with each other under the brokeback mountain, Jack had dicied to keep this memory forever instead of thinking it's just another crazy affaire in his life. Ernest was thinking about Jack in his silent way, the way he made love with Emma. Emma was a sad and miserable wife when she found husband's true love is with a man. She was kind and tolerate enough to disclosure nothing.
We are so scared of being different so that we refuse and deny different people and acts. Do we really have rights to judge people in terms of our own value? I had a sudden thought to tell you how moved I was after watching the film. And I really hope you will have a happy life, you must have it.
