Brokeback Mountain

this is the most amazing film I have ever seen, full of emotion and happiness. This is what makes film making an art

Jake and Heath are amazing actors and don't hold back in there scenes together. You really believe that they are in love.

Heath Legder deserves the Oscar for his performance alone in the last scenes of the films.

Amazing a must see film for all film fans.

And finally for those that have read the book, the 64 pages have been translated beautifully. The script is amazing, and flows with such ease.

Credit also to Ang Lee, who breaks away from what we know of him, and directs a film that to me and many his best work ever!!

I love this movie. Really love it. Haunting score, stunning cinematography, gripping performances, timeless tale--everything. People quibble about non-essentials. I'm female, middle-aged, hetero, and I defy you to tell me that the average straight guy is any more expressive than Ennis or any less needy than Jack. Or the average gal, either, straight or gay. Deeper than their sex, their sexuality, their religious, educational, economic or historic backgrounds, Jack and Ennis are two human beings living in the world as they find it--beautiful and indifferent at best, and as they find themselves--beautiful and flawed at best. Desire is desire. The desire for warmth, for connection, for any echo at all in the vastness of time and space, is shared by every human being ever to have lived. For me, the issue is not how repressed or thwarted Ennis and Jack are, but how persistently they turn toward the light, despite all impediment. Brokeback Mountain lyrically retells a story thousands of years old: loss and grief are unavoidable; love is where you find it.

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!

Although some time has elapsed between my seeing this movie and today, I've decided to add a little comment just to show the producers, director,actors and writer, how marvelous it is to acknowledge that a certain change is taking place in this old world of ours.I'm a 69 year old grandpa who has always taken a stand against any sort of discrimination. In this case and naturally not by accident, it's about homosexuality.People love nature but they seldom respect human nature. Love is for everyone and not only for those that are socially considered "politically correct". Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal have shown the world that stereotypes have nothing to do with honesty, affection,tenderness and true sorrow. Beautiful, unforgettable performances which have enriched all the viewers' craving to be loved, accepted and regarded as first class citizens. Congratulations.

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.
