My only criticism would be that I couldn't understand what was being said through a lot of the film as the accents were thick and there was a lot of mumbling especially from Heath, though that added to his character, who didn't actuially like talking much anyway. If you haven't seen it, then I urge you to watch it as soon as possible (though not if you are already feeling down!!).
It is so well acted by everyone, it isn't graphic when it comes to the sex, and it will make you think how lucky the gay community in the "civilised" world is these days, how far we have come. Though, I realise, we still have a very long way to go until "the gay thing" isn't an issue with the majority of people.
This film should be shown in schools (with the limited sex scenes taken out obviously) as an educational process for the kids (and teachers?). I can't express enough how important this film is, and how brave young actors like Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger were to make it.
Since this film Jake has been inundated with press questions concerning his sexuality and has handled it well. As I've mentioned before, I am in lust with Jake at the moment but I hope whether he is gay or straight, that he stays true to himself and doesn't feel he has to lie about anything. He's done well so far. I hope he continues the good work and I can easily see him being the Tom Cruise for the next generation (without the craziness and scientology bollocks!).
