Brokeback Mountain

This takes steps that few movies of its time dare to do, which is worth applause, but this film is mostly very depressing and hard to watch due to the tragic nature of the story, which may have been the intent, and if so, job well done.

Brokeback is still lyrical masterpiece, rewatched this in theaters and even better on the big screen.

Wow this movies awesome, Just 2 cowboys on a mountain! Wait……….

This movie is only good, because of Heath Ledger. If you take him out, it's just another B-movie, with actors pretending to be acting. This was the kind of performance that should've gotten him all the awards and accolades in the inner circle of Hollywood. He truly made everyone around him looking very amatuerish!

Absolutely gut-wrenching story, gorgeous cinematography, excellent performances. Made me cry for the first time in months. Deserves 5 stars for impact alone.

I give it 4 stars (80% positive) because the first 80% was great. Zero stars for the last 20%. As soon as they started trying to bump off their buddy its like the writers just gave up. The social statement went silent and the story went, well, dead. No resolution, no more all too current social commentary, just "last one out of the house is a rotten egg". Let the world burn. Or not.

Overrated trash. A very boring film that had no redeeming qualities at all.

Really beautifully made, sweet, tragic romance. Heart wrenching, sweet, deeply human. I thought all of the acting was excellent, especially Ledger and Gyllenhaal. I've always been pretty neutral on Gyllenhaal: sometimes kind of like him, sometimes kind of don't. But he was just superb here. And Ledger was arguably even better.

In a time in society where 'love is love' doesn't really exist, the reality is that it does exist - whether others that don't understand it like it, or not. And it makes for a direct implosion point when it comes to societal norms - as some people act out their lives as they're expected until they find that their wiring doesn't match up with those societal norms.

How TF did they name this film "Brokeback Mountain" when it was obviously going to be labeled "Bareback Mountain" or Broke-arse Mountain" by detractors? And, for god's sake, do they have to be herding sheep? The jokes write themselves - but not for all audiences!
