Brokeback Mountain

After church on Sunday, I went to see "Brokeback Mountain." I am on a new kick where I try to figure out where the director fits in. There is such praise heaped upon, for instance, Clint Eastwood, and the director of this movie, Ang Lee. I watched "Million Dollar Baby" twice last week, each time from the same point halfway through the movie. It was inadvertent both times, but I have to say now I'm going to try and watch the beginning too because there are some things I can't figure out. Anyway, I've been thinking about BBM for three days now, wondering if I liked it or if I did not and I have finally come to the conclusion that yes, I did like it. Whether or not I recommend it, I'm not sure. But it's not for children and yes, Stephen and Kellie and Brianne, that includes you too!! And my job of finding the director in these movies would be graded "F" I believe. I just don't get camera angles, shadows, low-key, long looks and so on. I know a film has to be directed, but I can't tell one director's work from another.
