A remarkable gay movie

Warning: Spoilers
This might be the most famous gay movie. Jack and Ennis's faces and their touching story are known by thousands of people around the world.

In 1963, one bright summer in Western Wyoming, two young cowboys named Jack Twist and Ennis Delmar work together to herd cattle on a mountain. Jack is more talkative, and good at riding horses. Ennis lost his parents at an early age and is shy. One day, on a very cold night, they drink too much and Jack and Ennis sleep together under the effect of alcohol and hormones. The two 19 year old young men fall in love with each other. They have the best time of their lives that summer.

Under the pressure of society, Jack and Ennis go back to their normal lives. They have their own families and live in different places. They meet each other again 4 years later. Time does not dilute their love. They miss each other so much. In the following more than 10 years, they date regularly. Unfortunately, Jack passes away in an accident.

After Jack's death, Ernest goes to Jack's parents' farm. He wants to take Jack's ashes back to Brokeback Mountain where they met each other. In Jack's room, he finds "a secret": their shirts which they wore before are neatly set in the same clothes rack. It makes Ennis suddenly cry. He realizes how much Jack loved him, and also how deeply he loves Jack. The witness of their love is Brokeback Mountain.

I believe if an afterlife exists, they will reunite again with their deep love.
