I really hate to say it, because I feel the movie was well made as well, but I really disliked it. I realize that's a strictly personal opinion, but... damn, couldn't they have shared SOME tenderness without it turning into a fist fight or angry wrestling match? Also. I'm all for sad endings to movies, but to have every single character in the movie end up completely miserable? (except, perhaps, for the daughter) ... And the bloody shirt stowed *in the closet* for the rest of the guy's life just strikes me as a depressing commentary on gay guilt. The message of the movie to me was less about enduring love than it was about the certainty of being smacked down by life for daring to be unconventional.
:) That being said, I do think it's due a few oscars, though I was a MUCH bigger fan of Capote from a cinematic standpoint.
