I wouldn't say I was disappointed.  I liked the movie and the story itself.  It didn't make me uncomfortable in any way but that's because I'm actually open minded about this sort of thing and I think everybody should be allowed to love anybody they like whether they're opposite sex or the same sex.  I thought the acting was really good in the movie but the story was slow at times and dragged on. I think Jake Gyllenhaal's character was more 'in love' than Heath Ledger's character.  But there were a few times where I felt really sad for them 'cause they couldn't be together - like that one scene at the lake where Jake's character is really upset they can't see each other.  I'm glad the movie was made.  It definitely shows Hollywood is a bit more open minded these days.  I mean when you think of some foreign movies this subject is not that controversial but for Hollywood it obviously is.  I mean the supposed 'sex scene' wasn't all that bad - at least not as bad as everybody made it seem.  I'm not homophobic so for me it was fine to watch.  And it'll open doors for other small movies with interesting subject matters unlike the same old same old lame Hollywood bullcrap.
