I segreti di Brokeback Mountain

Finally got to watch the 'Brokeback Mountain' movie on DVD, and I have found it to be one of the most inspiring love stories - especially gay love stories. I have already watched it two times and plan to watch it some more! Heath and Jake did a very great job portraying these characters of Ennis and Jack. I strongly encourage that everyone watch the movie, and I hope that it will help whoever looks down on gay love relationship realize that there are many different kinds of love for everyone in all aspects. Gay love relationship should not be considered as a taboo, but as a pure love beyond imagination. The movie made me think of how gay life must be like in the early 1960's and how it has changed in the last 40 years. More and more societies are starting to accept gay love relationship, and I am sure this movie will make everyone think. Ang Lee did a superb job making this movie, and I hope he and other directors will make more movies like this one in the years to come.

This movie exceeded my already high expectations. It's exceptionally realised - the direction is superb and the acting is excellent. I was entranced by the story from the very outset. I empathised with the characters to the point of actual heartbreak. This is a film of such honesty; tackling a topic that is still a taboo in today's "liberal" society. How many movies have you seen that portray gay love in a sensitive, non-judgmental fashion? There are several moments when, even if you find it difficult to deal with the physical depiction of homosexual love (even though it's not at all graphic), viewers who value love won't be able to prevent themselves from empathising with the characters - Ennis' reaction when he has to leave Jack for the first time and when, during their argument at their last meeting, Ennis says something that is heartbreaking in its poignancy.

These lovers - the open-hearted Jack and the silent, suffering Ennis - shared one perfect summer and much of the rest of their lives is a cruel compromise - simply because the world won't allow their love.

Like all truly good movies, Brokeback Mountain stays with you long after the last image fades from the screen. It makes you question your preconceptions and hopefully makes you want to make the world a place where all people are free to love whom they want as they please.

I have viewed Brokeback Mountain a total of three times on a 50 inch plasma. I spaced my views almost six months apart so I could grasp more completely and without prejudice, how I would rate this flick.

It is beyond a doubt an American classic and looking back I regret so profoundly the death of Heath, who played Enis. The amount of acting skill and diversity it took to do such a touching and completely honest job, makes this young man, Heath Ledger, a legend.

The scenes in the Brokeback were beautiful and allowed me to imagine somehow I was transformed back in time watch these young men.

The truth is neither one of the characters was entirely gay, rather bisexual, but they did find each other as their own natural soul mates.

Unfortunately cultural prejudice and homophobia prevented them from doing what Jack Twist had dreamed, ranching together on his father's spread.

The final scenes are absolutely acted with such depth of character, the viewer is taken to tears. The Brokeback will not have Jack's ashes, since even in death, the culture denies him his final request, his ashes spread upon the Brokeback.

Many of the bigots who have posted here on this fine cinema should be ashamed as they bray their ignorance for all to read.

A fine film and probably one of the top love stories of all time in film.

A really quite remarkable and moving love story between 2 cowboys that transcends any notions of what love between 2 people 'should' be. From their first raw encounter of physical intimacy, to the warmth and compassion that follows, we are taken on a journey of love and despair as these 2 men endeavour to keep alive an impossible relationship in the most difficult and unforgiving of times.

Full of passion, daring, hope and despair, Heath & Jake give extremely brave and heartfelt performances in roles that not only would be a formidable challenge for any straight actor, but that will also shake and perhaps change forever the traditional stereo-type of the American cowboy. The courage required to bring this 'forbidden' love story to life on the screen is almost breathtaking, and is fully deserving of any awards that come its' way

I am only 15, and i just recently saw this movie. I couldn't believe how good it was! After i saw it once, i had to see it again and again, and finally buy it on DVD. The characters in this movie are amazing. Brokeback Mountain isn't a made-up place, it is a state of mind that we all have in us. You just have to find it. It's not just a gay place in a gay movie,as some may want to think. It's a place of love that is not forbidden, and peace, all is equal, and happiness overflows. For those who haven't yet seen this movie, I highly recommend it. For those who have seen it, and loved it as much as i do, i recommend that we keep the story alive, and get others to do the same. I will always keep this movie close to my heart and it has changed me in such a way that i can not describe it. My mind is Brokeback Mountain, and I wish everyone could find that place in their mind, heart, and soul!
