Brokeback Mountain

Just watched a heartwrenching Brokeback Mountain. Long, boring, slow-moving, say what you will- but I felt it was a captivating, and yet profoundly down-to-earth story. I wonder...if such an intense and passionate forbidden love were allowed to blossom freely, without the constraints of normality as deemed by society, or the backdrop of mundanity... would it be as poignant and beautiful as it were? Living, always with a vision of a more fulfilling idyllic life, ignoring circumstances, despite the knowledge of its impossibility. Tragic or so it seems, to have it shattered by death's wings without ever knowing what could have been. I suppose, it was the only kind of closure that made sense.
