2006
03.21

Saw Brokeback Mountain on Sunday night. It’s one of the most simultaneously moving and disturbing films I’ve ever seen.

Even as I type these words, a shiver runs down my spine and I feel my lips curling up into a squirm. And sleep just totally eluded me that night. Scenes from the film and the signature tune (which is rather haunting) kept reverberating in my head. 

I felt slightly peaceful only post discussing it with my colleague Raja, who reviewed the film and empathised completely.

I wouldn’t mind watching the film all over again — in a better theatre though — where the sound is good and one doesn’t have to strain their ears to understand that western twang that eventually becomes so endearing.

There were two young chaps sitting next to me, holding hands. It was kind of sweet.

    Sandeep are you masquerading as Savio? Btw folks Sandeep is actually a sensitive sort of chap even though what he writes sounds pretty retarded.

  4. Heh heh, long time no see Sandeep.

    I was very moved by Brokeback too. What a powerful movie.
