I just saw the movie last night,and I thought it was especially powerful. It was not cliche at all. The actors were really great. The landscapes and emaculate scenery in the film were also impressive. I think the love scenes worked out, and didn't end up awkward. It really paints a different picture of gay people that is often not portrayed in film...these are just two average guys struggling to make it in rural America, living double lives because that's just the way it is...and that in my opinion might actually portray accurately many homosexuals in the country. It kinda shows that they aren't any different than anyone else, and their love is all the same and just as genuine.
I really came out of the movie, with the feeling of seeing a great love story (which I always love), and the emphasis not being that it was a GAY love story...just a love story, of two ppl who loved each other but still lived these "normal" lives and snuck away for this affair..So much in love, in one scene Heath Ledger actually throws up while crying...great movie
