"Brokeback Mountain" is one of those movies that's easier to admire than actually enjoy, especially if you're like me, finally seeing it after being inundated by endless media hype & controversy, not to mention 'homo' variations of the title uttered by snickering co-workers ("Humpback Mountain," "Brokebutt Mountain," etc.) for over a year. It's akin to taking in an edgy art house film: you are impressed with your own open-mindedness, and the movie does provide some fodder for discussion afterwards. But really, "Brokeback Mountain" is a traditional Hollywood love story masquerading as cutting-edge cinema, albeit brilliantly directed and acted; it certainly deserved some of the Oscar trophies it took home. And again, admiring a film for its audacity & technical brilliance is not the same as being entertained. Even as a tragic love story, "Brokeback Mountain" is emotionally aloof and way too long. Still, the movie deservedly has its admirers, and I guess one big question for them is whether or not this 2-disc Collector's Edition is worth the upgrade, especially since this is the same version of the film released on DVD just last year.
