It's a heartbreaking story, made even more saddening by the closing act, full of regret and grief.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. the most beautiful, sad and heartbreaking gay movie i've ever seen.
In the beginning feels a little bit boring, but later the story becomes a sad drama who ends at tragedy and makes you feel with a lump in throat with a amazing sadness.
the photography, script and performances are impeccable, I would dare to said that this is most popular gay movie in the history, and with a good reason, shape portrait incredibly realistic what it was being gay in the american west in the 60's and the impact it had on western society and hollywood was phenomenal.
It's a shame what Heath Ledger is dead.… Expand

It simply lays out the plot and allows the characters to grow without rushing.

I keep thinking about certain parts of that relationship over and over. It's beautifully balanced, and the conclusion is executed flawlessly. Heath Ledger is as intelligent as many claim.… Expand

I was completely mesmerised by Brokeback Mountain. It is such a beautiful and poignant film, that also benefits from being gorgeously shot and adeptly acted and directed.

It is such a beautiful and poignant film, that also benefits from being gorgeously shot and adeptly acted and directed. The film does move slowly of course, but I personally think that Brokeback Mountain was deliberately paced like that(I said very similar things about 2001 and The Godfather too, they are constantly criticised for being boring yet both had their reasons for being paced like that). The slow pacing allowed us to empathise with the characters more, and that paid off, because the characterisations are superb. As are the beautifully written and thought-provoking screenplay and gentle scoring. Ang Lee's direction is the best it's been here I feel, while the cinematography and scenery are simply breathtaking. The acting is excellent. Heath Ledger I think gives his best performance here(sorry Dark Knight fans, I loved him there, but he was beyond amazing here), while Jake Gyllanhaal is very believable, and Michelle Williams is heart-wrenching. Also Brokeback Mountain is quite emotionally affecting, it really makes you think and the sheer beauty of the visuals, acting and story are enough to make me cry, and I was in pieces after the ending. In conclusion, a mesmerising film. 10/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

I truly believe that in the end Jack was brutally killed the way how Ennis imagined, not that he died the way how Laureen explained because it's a completely stupid explanation. But after watching this movie, I was thinking of it for a week. The topic in it is a truly big deal, because it shows that this thing doesn't hurt only the main characters, but their wives as well. One of the rare movies along with "Good Will Hunting" to really make me cry so hard.… Expand

Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal performances were astounding, they gave such beautiful, emotionally powerful, and deep performances and their chemistry was extraordinary just so beautiful and natural; two of the best performances I have ever seen and some of the best chemistry I have seen between co-stars. Michelle Williams, Anne Hathaway, Linda Cardellini, and Anna Faris gave outstanding supporting performances. The writing was exceptional, the story and screenplay were just so beautifully heartbreaking. The character development of Ennis Del Mar, Jack Twist, and Alma Beers Del Mar was phenomenal. The cinematography was gorgeous. The costumes were stupendous especially ones wore by Jake Gyllenhaal, Heath Ledger, Michelle Williams, Anne Hathaway, Anna Faris, and David Harbour. The makeup and hairstyling was spectacular especially on Heath Ledger, Anne Hathaway, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Williams, Anna Faris, Linda Cardellini, David Harbour, and Kate Mara. The music was remarkable. Brokeback Mountain is an A+ movie and one of my top 10 favorite movies I have ever seen.… Expand

A daring look at homosexual relationships filmed without contrivance and filled with contemporary filmmaking choices.  The film's pacing allows us to naturally know these characters and as such, their heartbreaks leave a lasting impact on us too.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The relationship this has to truth, is possibly - that the author saw a man in a bar give another man a look she could only associate with passion (source quote).

Two sittings. First, I couldn’t watch it. I got a gist, but there were a lot of silly wigs and moustaches.

Second time... Day after watching. Yes. Alain de Boton joke- “If we move from anger, to sadness, then we will have made psychological progress.” From Why you will marry the wrong person talk. Meaning- this is the sort of thing psychotherapists say…
But so, reminds me, people know this, and they do it. Perhaps even, the scriptwriters did. Ennis starts, angry- ends sad. You will have a sense of achievement, if you do this.

Mistake at the end. I feel having ‘he was a friend of mine’ on the soundtrack- as the song you have in your head to go home to... is a mistake. Current understanding, 'he was a friend of mine'- the song- is not saying, he was my lover.

I thought it was alright. So it’s a passionate affair.

Painting by numbers? What do I mean. You have to meet someone, in 5 seconds flat. Jack’s parents, are protestant. The house is virtually empty except for a cross. Almost ludicrously so. Bosses are stubborn.

I think that the four main actors had a bit of a dare and giggle, that they would all be nude at some point. Drinking dare.

Apart from that, and a few other things, it was fine. Fairly compelling.

Thank you.

Does it use beautiful people to get your attention? Yes.… Expand

Pero lo que es indudable es que el impulso que esta película supuso en la lucha por igualdad de las personas homosexuales, solo es comparable al que en su día supuso la Philadelphia de Johnathan Damme. Lo mejor, sin duda, la autentica obra de ingeniería que los guionistas tuvieron que hacer para dar sentido a un relato infumable. A nadie se le escapa ni la banda sonora ni la fotografía, obviamente, y por supuesto las interpretaciones increíbles de los protagonistas. Es prácticamente una película icónica desde su estreno, no necesito del paso del tiempo para convertirse. Aunque reconociendo su incalculable valor, sigo prefiriendo como culmen del Cine homosexual tanto la británica Beautiful Thing como la Italiana Le Fatte Ignorante. En todo caso, Brillante Brokeback Mountain.… Expand

Brokeback Mountain

It works on a mild score like a musical theatre filled with drama, cheat and decisive that sets up these two flawed yet loved lead characters projected by the master Ang Lee.

In a sentence, it is the ultimate forbidden love story. A fun fact: My username, The3AcademySins, refers to one of the three sins that I believe the Academy has committed. This sin was not giving Brokeback Mountain Best Picture. This movie is hands down the best performance that Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhal have ever given. Wow. The script is one of the realest, heartfelt, moving movies I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. In a way, this movie made me a better person after viewing it. I recommend this movie to everyone, even my friends who might not like gay movies, and everyone loves.

But when theIn the summer of 1963, two cowboys, Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist, are assigned the job of herding sheep on a mountainside in Wyoming. But amidst the grand beauty of Brokeback Mountain, the two men fall in love with one another. But when the job is done, they're forced to walk their separate ways. Ennis' father taught him to condemn homosexuality when he was a child, and so he began to condemn his own feelings. Both men are forced to deny the only passion either of them will ever feel. They pretend so as to fit in with the others. And in doing so they hurt themselves and carry great pain with each passing moment. Both Ennis and Jack marry and have children. But every once in while, they'd get to meet up on Brokeback Mountain where they can finally stop pretending and expose there vulnerability. This is where their hearts truly lie. Brokeback Mountain is powerful, beautiful and poetic. It hits you right on your chest like a bullet when you least expect it and steals away your heart. The cinematography is gorgeous, the score is elegant and all performances, particularly Ledger's as the restrained and distant Ennis Del Mar, are marvellous. This is Ang Lee's masterpiece. Brokeback Mountain was the best film of 2005 and the greatest / most important love story of this century.… Expand

And Lee is a great director not afraid of doing such different films, and with this one, he is at his best. The pace is perfect to make you feel the loneliness people in the Mid West around the 60´s-70´s used to feel, and especially the characters here presented. Once the film ends, you can´t get out of your head this impactful movie. Cinematography is crazy good. And the acting... so real, perfect and raw. Jake Gyllenhaal does a great job, Anne Hathaway is great in her little role, Michelle Williams is all kinds of outstanding... but Heath Ledger... a performance that defines a career. I would have given the oscar to him that year. Incredible what he did with his character. I give the movie a 10 because there´s no flaw one can find.

I don't give many tens, but this deserves it. Aside from being beautifully directed, with great technical aspects, as well as great acting, this is one of the most beautiful scripts of the 21st century so far. It didn't surprise me when II don't give many tens, but this deserves it. Aside from being beautifully directed, with great technical aspects, as well as great acting, this is one of the most beautiful scripts of the 21st century so far. It didn't surprise me when I found out Annie Proulx was a finalist for a Pulitzer for the short story, which is translated very well by the two screen writers. The movie starts out very innocent and sweet, and then it starts to turn into a gradual downward spiral of devastation until you're just left emotional knocked out by the end of the movie. The themes of society's influence on human behavior, the desire for happiness, and demise caused by obsession, are all subtly, yet powerfully, conveyed in this movie. Calling this a gay love story is like calling Lord Of The Rings a movie about hiking. This is one of the most torturous, psychological portrayals of two people's lives I've ever seen in a movie. It's so well calculated, without coming off the least bit unnatural. I've seen it several times, and I still pick up on things that I hadn't caught onto before. I heard it was a groundbreaking movie about a gay romance, and I didn't get how that was, since there had been many movies about gay romances before. I figured it was probably an overrated movie. When I saw it, I realized I couldn't have been more wrong. Your emotional connection will be irrelevant to your sexual orientation. What is really going to connect you to the movie are your ideas about the pressure to conform to society, compared to your desire to live a life of happiness. One man chooses conformity, and the other chooses happiness, and it doesn't necessarily end up how you might expect. I'm actually getting emotional writing this, thinking about the movie. I really hope everyone who watches it is able to pick up on the subtle themes, the hidden meanings behind specific lines, and the inner thoughts of particular characters who might not be ready to say those thoughts out loud, or even admit them to themselves. Those kind of things are extremely difficult to incorporate into a script without losing its realistic feel, but this movie does it. Of course, it might take a few views to pick up on everything. Whether you're judging this movie on its intelligent, calculated writing, its technical achievements, its performances, of which Heath Ledger's is one of the best of the 21st century, or its overall directing, or if you judge a movie on its emotional appeal, and its powerful, thought provoking themes, I can't see how you objectively give this movie anything less than a strong review.… Expand

Overall, the film is well done. Ang Lee has done a fantastic job of "showing" as opposed to "preaching" morality about homosexuality. This is particularly vital as it allows us to simply become engrossed in this tragic but heart-moving loveOverall, the film is well done. Ang Lee has done a fantastic job of "showing" as opposed to "preaching" morality about homosexuality. This is particularly vital as it allows us to simply become engrossed in this tragic but heart-moving love story. Where the film fails, I believe, is the choice of setting. The time and place chosen does not appeal to most people, and we would rather experience a remarkable love story without the added distraction of cowboys and rodeos. I'm sure many would say cowboys are needed in this movie, just as the ship sinking was needed in the "Titanic" . The point, however, is that the added cowboy element has little if no benefit to the story-line. On balance though, it is a satisfying watch with marvelous cinematography and music.… Expand

Ang Lee is able to articulate the deep true feeling of 'Love' through the portrayal of two people who, no matter what the risks and dangers they could face in their society, cannot stand it when they are apart. The movie redefines the essenceAng Lee is able to articulate the deep true feeling of 'Love' through the portrayal of two people who, no matter what the risks and dangers they could face in their society, cannot stand it when they are apart. The movie redefines the essence of love and the strength of its power, and also deals with the issue of the conformity of society's views are nearly as strong and dangerous if corrupt. Brokeback Mountain is in a way like R&J, both involve a couple that only see each other in secret because of the immoral views of their peers prevent them from being together.… Expand

Don't believe those who say that Brokeback Mountain redefines anything. What this is is an incredibly well-made Titanic story with a interesting look into a self-loathing mind set.

What this is is an incredibly well-made Titanic story with a interesting look into a self-loathing mind set. However, you shouldn't even listen to those who try to dismiss its premise of "gay love story" as a gimmick. Not because it rises above that, but because assuming that audiences would respond differently if it were about a man and a woman is an unfair comparison because the entire story revolves around the idea that it is a GAY romance. It's the equivalent of saying "Would you still like Guess Who's Coming to Dinner if everyone was white?"… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Brokeback Mountain is not only one of the best movies of the decade but also one of the greatest movies of all time! A stunning MASTERPIECE! You can't deny it! It's a great love story (almost platonic!) between two young men! Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal give two fantastic performances, making the movie realistic and heart-wrenching. Everyting in this movie is BEAUTIFUL, there are no words to describe It. I remember when I watched it for the first time, it was automatically my favourite movie ever, simply because you have to feel involved in the story. Though the movie describes an homossexual relationship, that's not the point. This movie is about LOVE, that's it! It's a story about TWO PERSONS THAT FELL IN LOVE FOREVER! In the final, if you thought the film would be a clichÃ©, you were wrong. GOD, in the final, Heath gives one of the most devastating scenes in the cinema, you can't help crying everytime you see it. Ang Lee knows how to put emotion into a movie. Gyllenhaal was amazing! LEDGER proved he was the BEST ACTOR OF HIS GENERATION!
Forever my favourite movie, a TRULY MASTERPIECE! 10.0!… Expand

Does gay marriage affect your life in any way? Didn't think so. As for those of you that argue with the well-developed "God hates fags" statement, I hear Westboro Baptist Church is taking supporters. I mean, really. You people are no better than parasites feeding off of the misery of other people. Doesn't God also preach love? Way to be arrogant, hypocritcal a**holes.

There a yet unknown "Brokeback Mountain" is a humane, quietly devastating film about forbidden love, a topic of great treatment among Ang Lee's films. Another masterful work of his that comes to mind is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." There a yet unknown Ziyi Zhang was forced into a marriage because of her social status. Here Mr. Lee uses two gay cowboys in 1960s west to show the backdrops and tragedy that is forbidden love. It is based off of Annie Proulx's 1997 short story with the same title. Proulx's short story was quite a bit better. It allowed the reader to fully comprehend the pain and angst of these two men, something not even film geniuses, such as Larry McMurty, may have fully brought to the screen. The best example I can use to illustate this point is when the two men hit rock bottom. In her novella, a mere fifty-five pages, these men enjoy each others' company on a camping trip, wherein the film you only see the aftermath of this trip. Of course it is hard story to adapt to the screen, but an important one, and the performance Heath Ledger brings to his character, Ennis del Mar, is brilliantly subtle and highly nuanced. Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway, Michelle Williams, and Linda Cardeliini all give beautiful performances that will make interested viewers ache. A beautiful film that is also an important one.
