The fact that they are the same sex makes it more touching and exhilaratingly beautiful because it shows that love knows no hate nor does it discriminate. It has left me numb, and aching to unite these two lovers again, if only to stop the sadness that comes over me every time I think of this film.… Expand

I have to say this is one of the most emotional, devastating films i have ever seen. Visually stunning and brilliantly acted by all, "Brokeback Mountain" will stay with your forever. As I sit here typing this, my eyes are welling up with tears.

A love story with a palpable connection between 2 men...It's about time! Now, how about a love story between 2 men played with gay actors? We have seen gay actors play straight love scenes for so long, it would be a nice change...

What a concept, bashing pictures without seeing them, and doing so with a political agenda! Anyway, occasionally, this picture is too restrained - a bit too slow and subdued - but regardless it's done tastefully and thoughtfully. The What a concept, bashing pictures without seeing them, and doing so with a political agenda! Anyway, occasionally, this picture is too restrained - a bit too slow and subdued - but regardless it's done tastefully and thoughtfully. The acting is pretty strong, easily the best performance in Ledger's career. It's definitely a character-driven piece, not story-driven, which is actually pretty refreshing given Hollywood's lack of three-dimensional characters these days. Worth seeing, unless you're close-minded, in which case bring those signs, furrow those brows, get that rabid look primed up and start the line right next to Rusty!… Expand

I was incredibly affected by Ang Lee's cinematic triumph, I don't think any film has ever moved me more, emotionally or personally.

I feel that all of the actors bared their soles for these parts, and this is why the film achieves such a level of intensity and authenticity. Heath gives the performance of a lifetime, full stop. This is complemented by the sensitivity and relentless optimism of Jake's Jack Twist. It is the intensity of his eyes that speaks all, how this character is a dreamer, a believer in love and seeking a meaningful life and the good in the world. Though this is saddest of human stories, Jack and Ennis show that one has to follow one… Expand

I was struck by the distance Brokeback Mountain maintains from the characters, and it almost fooled me into thinking I wasn't emotionally involved in the story. But when hopes and dreams and lives began to unravel, I felt it deeply, I was struck by the distance Brokeback Mountain maintains from the characters, and it almost fooled me into thinking I wasn't emotionally involved in the story. But when hopes and dreams and lives began to unravel, I felt it deeply, surprising myself in the process. The movie did feel slow at times and meditative at others, thankfully it was mostly the latter and quietly drew me in. When it ended, I sat in my seat for some time, just dwelling in the moving sadness of what I had just seen.… Expand

So this laconic movie ends, not quite meeting the hype of the critics, the media, outraged conservatives, or gays starving for realistic representation in well told story... and you think... jeez that was sad, but it's over. Not much So this laconic movie ends, not quite meeting the hype of the critics, the media, outraged conservatives, or gays starving for realistic representation in well told story... and you think... jeez that was sad, but it's over. Not much action, but the acting was great. And then you wake up the next morning with the guitar of the soundtrack in your head as you shake off a night's sleep. And a pervasive sense of desolation pervades your day. And you keep seeing this shirt. And maybe, if it's been a rough day, you'll have a few moments where you need some alone time. This is a movie that burrows into the places where you keep your regrets, missed opportunities, losses... your woulda-coulda-shouldas and quietly expands the space to bursting. It stays with you and flavors your week. It breaks your heart. Ledger gives a performance I've rarely seen and didn't expect. The direction and cinematography are stunning. And the story, spare and minimalist, overwhelms, almost as much by what is left unsaid. Perfect movie? Nah. Iconic gay movie? Actually - not really - it's a western about bad choices, missed opportunities, heartache, mutually inflicted damage when no other course seems possible. But best of the year? Given the tripe coming out of Hollywood lately, I'd say it's the best of the last several.… Expand

I expected more intensity in the film; it seemed slow at times. Then the film builds, stabs you in chest and makes you leave the theater thinking more about it then you've probably thought about anyother film in years.

I have never been so moved or as deeply affected by any movie ever. Ledger and Gyllenhall are riveting in portraying a wrenching, inconceivable love.

One has never known this kind of story can be so touching to your heart. It stays deep there then comes to your mind over and over again. The director gave it a nice flow, which connects you to the characters.

Brokeback Mountain’s faults make it clear that it was based off of a short story. The film goes on for while taking many scenes to establish what was made clear in one scene.

The film goes on for while taking many scenes to establish what was made clear in one scene. Despite lengthy time going by its hard to get a sense of the characters outside of what is shown and given the nature of story it would be beneficial to understand what the characters thinking. Even with these faults the film still gets across its story nicely. The film nicely captures the struggles of tow men dealing with their relationship with each other in a story that is touching and emotional.… Expand
