Heath was one of the greatest actors who ever lived, and you’ve just watched his two greatest performances. In some ways, this one is more impressive than the Joker because it’s so masterfully nuanced. He barely changes expression, but you feel ALL of it. He lost the Oscar that year to another of the greatest actors of all time in one of his greatest performances (Philip Seymour Hoffman in Capote, another astonishing, iconic performance of a queer story). I don’t know who was better. Awards can be kind of stupid that way. At a certain level of skill, there’s almost no way to differentiate. Also gotta give props to Michelle Williams, who played Ennis’s wife. At the time, she was known mostly for Dawson’s Creek, and she blew every skeptic right out of the water and hasn’t looked back since. Anyway, this movie fucking wrecked me when it was in theaters, and I hadn’t seen it since. And truly, no one Ashley’s age can be blamed for not understanding why it was unsafe for those men to share with their partners. But if you look at Ennis’s wife’s reaction when she sees them kissing, it kind of says it all. It’s not just repulsive to her, it’s terrifying. It’s completely alien. Literally unspeakable. The queer folx of that generation went through so much shit. We don’t even get to see Ennis live through the AIDS crisis, it wiped out an entire generation of queer men. I’ve got friends that age who lived through it. Their stories are horrifying. One buddy of mine went to 43 funerals in February of 1984. Unimaginable. The world is still a hard place, but it’s certainly softer than it was.

Im at work and in tears for Ashleigh end comments. Its set in the past and thats just how people had to deal with it. Some still do.
