A film that leaves you full of emotions. Not the first film to bring about the subject of Homosexuality, yet the size of publicity this film gained, both positively and negatively has probably made it the most talked about Gay Interest film.
What makes this film quite unique ...( read more) -

Overall I was disappointed. Loads of hype didn't help and while the scenery and cinematography was good, I though all the performances where unconvincing and it really dragged on. Also, why didn't they age? A moustache does not make up for 20 years of ageing! Had some cool cars i...( read more)

Although a lot of people called this the "movie with the gay cowboys" when it came out, everyone who saw this beautiful film should understand that this was not a story about being straight or gay. It's about forbidden love and not daring to follow through with it against all con...( read more)

"You know it could be like this, just like this always."
Ang Lee's masterpiece is a landmark in cinematic perfection. The two male lead's, Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhall, give us career best performances as the two young cowboys who share a love that the world can't comprehend...( read more) -

Too many wrong pictures get attention these days and it would be fair to say that "Brokeback Mountain" was one of them back in 2005, but only on a scale of how ridiculously it was misunderstood as a homosexual picture and, if I remember correctly, even banned in some places from ...( read more)

I really enjoyed the acting and the chemistry between Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. The time line was waaay too spread out for me and I felt cheated out of the whole story. I think if they centered around a specific point in the story, it would have been more emotional and ef...( read more)

Critic Reviews
A film about love and the cost of lying that's exquisite in its beauty, painful in its truths. full review
The filmmakers have focused so intently and with such feeling on Jack and Ennis that the movie is as observant as work by Bergman. full review
Brokeback Mountain is an epic love story about gay cowboys and that, in itself, is something. Otherwise, the film is not one to get particularly excited over. full review
Brokeback Mountain takes great pains to be a compassionate love story; but the filmmaking itself, self-consciously restrained and desiccated, is inert and inexpressive. full review
Ang Lee's formalism is so extreme that it's often laughable, and the sex is depicted as a holy union: Gay love has never been so sacred. full review
[The film] is directed by Ang Lee in a style that pays attention to the nuances of expression, to the thoughts and emotions being articulated between the words and in the pauses. full review
Its beauty wells from its sorrow, because the love between Ennis and Jack is most credible not in the making but in the thwarting. full review
Ang Lee's unmissable and unforgettable Brokeback Mountain hits you like a shot in the heart. It's a landmark film and a triumph for Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. full review

September 14, 2008Very good film. Watched this because this was the only thing on TV and was very suprised how good it was. I totally understand now why people say Ledger should have won an oscar for this film. Reminded me alot of the film "Boys Don't Cry" where Hillary Swank won a Oscar.

August 16, 2008Can anyone explain me why Ennis say "Jack,I swear" at the end? please tell me!

May 21, 2008many weird comments about this movie. some people just donīt seem to have gotten it.
Like someone commented that she thought it was strange that they both married...wow. Did you even watch the movie?
Or all the people commenting on they dondīt liking the movie because itīs about two gay men...
I feel sad..
The movie is about love. About how societyīs expectations and prejudices keep two human beings from each other. Its a beautiful, haunting story that hasnīt left me since I first watched it two years ago.
The acting is superb and so is Ang Leeīs direction. -
May 13, 2008hello to all fans of this movie, I am very sad that died one pair to my great actor Heath Ledger was my favorite and I am much charm to this movie was my best, not only what I liked is that their partner died in the movie and I am only what was more, and I charming landscape of the mountain until I thought I was there with my boyfriend, may he rest in peace my beloved actor and your soul with this diosito and enlighten you with its light, (though has really doubt that died LoQ ue nose is only that they found dead in his house).

February 10, 2008i like this movie alot, i do cried alot at the end of coz the death of jack twist, it's so sudden n unbelievable. Now, knowing that heath's gone, remembering this movie for me seems like the story came out into reality. the same loss and denial.
though i've never been a fan of heath ledger n i've never followed his career before, the news of his death has more than enough to put me in tears. he has so much to go through, n i believe he'd receive an oscar some day.
i can't pretend if i could stand to watch this movie again from the beginning til the end...
farewell, heath...u'll be missed forever -
