Brokeback Mountain does not spoon-feed its audience. It makes you think and wonder about the mysteries of love. The second time was the charm, it is one of the smartest, finest crafted and most moving films I have ever seen. If one can see past one’s own prejudices, it is also most universal. Brokeback should have ranked high on the AFI list, I am quite surprised it did not, especially considering the virtually unprecedented international acclaim it received. Hopefully AFI will rectify its error in 2017, just as it did with The General, Intolerance and Sunrise (though the latter 2 are still ranked far too low!).
