...in my previous note (see below) I mentioned several internal implausibilities, to which I now add another: While a big deal was made by Ennis' wife about the unused creelbox, the director often chose to show the men camped out by a running river. Surely two guys who go horseriding and hunting would not fail to fish? Ang Lee accepted that plot point in the original story, but couldn't refrain from depicting gorgeous scenic backgrounds that contradicted it.Again I repeat my refrain, we are (cinematically) a nation of set designers.
Apart from Heath Ledger's extraordinary accomplishment, I don't think the movie will go down in history. Only its oh-so-correct gay element gives it the buzz, and that element was far better treated in an altogether superior film, Mysterious Life.
