jake gylenhaal [or however you spell it] was really great, & the story had amazing potential. they just took too long to develop it, & tried too hard to create the 'reallife' feeling of it. real life isnt that boring, when something huge happens, the world doesnt slot straight back to normal again just cause they wanted to pretend it never happend. theyd still dwell on it. gah.
ok , i know exactly what i want to word here, & it aint working.
fucking summer heat wave thing.

i really didn't think a single moment was boring...obviously cowboy men didn't go emo back in the sixties if that's what you mean by dwelling on it....surpressing emotions was the norm....they didn't recognise what happened on the mountain as love, and they already had their lives planned out BEFORE they even got up there....hence the marriages and odd jobs...going their separate ways....only through time did they realize the true power of their emotions...
their lives were governed by the social climate, that's why they HAD to stay married, have kids and maintain the "respectable men" image....
and what made it especially powerful for me was the fact that they never explicitly declared love to each other...it was implied, expressed through actions and physicals gestures....
