I took my daughter and my grand-daughter to see Brokeback Mountain. All of the reviews were great and we figured it was a sure winner. Well, what they don't point out is that the characters mumble during 90% of the movie and I'm hard of hearing so I missed most of what they said. It was a shame too, because I'm sure I missed some points that needed to be focused on. We all had a hard time hearing them and wondered if it had to do with the fact that all the theaters that are playing this movie are old and don't have surround sound. It's too bad. I would have liked to see it with close caption if nothing else so I wouldn't have felt so lost. We were fairly disappointed and when the end came, weren't as heartbroken as we should have been because we couldn't get into the men's characters as much as we would have liked to. I'm sure the critics aren't wrong, but for us, it was a let-down because of the sound. *sigh*
