What is all the fuss about? The acting was nothing special, the story was slow and drawn out without any real climax. I am happy that neither of the actors won an Oscar because they didn`t do anything spectacular. When the two have their first encounter it was totally weird and unbelievable. You did not see the complexities of their characters unfold... all in all a blah movie.
Exellent movie! and as a straight man I find it absolutely unthreatening. "Brokeback Mountain" is a tragedy because these men have found something that many people, of whatever sexual persuasion, never find - TRUE LOVE. And they can`t do anything about it.
Beautiful love story!
An excellent movie, wonderful scenery, and a touching story! This movie tells the tragic story of gay people and gay love in our society....then AND now. Sadly, things haven`t changed much in some places, and in reading the `negative` comments posted about this movie, ignorance and the "self righteous", "holier than thou" judgements passed by the right-wing fanatic still exists.
shepherds are not cowboys!
The next time the homo lobby decides to produce a propaganda film, I have a suggestion for it: make it a good film. It probably can be done but this wasn`t it. It was a study in boredom.
It was a very well made movie. Acting was good. Heath deserved an oscar nomination. Ang Lee deserved his oscar for best director. Cinematography was excellent. The plot however, was a bit hard to believe. It was more like an adaptation of a romance novel. But all in all it was a very touching love story.
it was sooooooooooo good! still thinking about it.."I wish i knew how to quit you"..... best line EVER!!!!! ya whoooooooooo! GO SEEE ITT!
i loved it, and i dont understand how some people dont. i know that everyone has there own oppinion, but come on, open up your mind to new things. i was very disappointed that Brokeback did not win the Oscar, it defiently diserved it. the scenery was great, and both actors were so hot! take my advice and go see it!
Life is too short for this garbage
Beautiful on so many levels.
i think this was a great movie. but at the same time i know ppl who thought it was boring, infact i was one of the few people in the theatre still awake at the end. perhaps it was the fact that i felt very intouch with the movie because i had read the book, which gave a whole new feeling to the movie. reading the book then watching the movie i got a deeper sense of everything around them. i no a person who read the book after then rewatched the movie and enjoyed it much more. i think that the big name actors helped this movie somewhat because it gave it more attention, but either way no matter the cast, it was still a very good movie. it is b
It`s too bad that this movie lost out the Best Picture Oscar to "Crash." Sure, I love that movie too, but the issue of racism has been played out in the past so many times! We rarely get to see something that`s different, daring and thought provoking. "Brokeback Mountain" deserved to win! I will never, ever watch the Oscars ever again. In my opinion, this is THE BEST PICTURE OSCAR WINNER!
I`m so happy Crash won best picture and not this one. I mean, this one just doesn`t cut it. It`s got shocking stuff in it, but since when does that mean it should win best picture? Crash is a masterpiece. This was just a boring film. Scenery was nice, but storyline? Not good.
A Wonderful Romantic movie, Very Intense, Is so true to life, Its a shame things havn`t changed, Jake Gillenhall is dreamy. A must see movie. 10/10
We HATED this movie! Don`t waste your hard earned cash on this one...its totally not worth it.
GREAT MOVIE! I was upset to see that this movie did not win the Best Picture Catagory. HEATH LEDGER and JAKE JYLLENHALL did a SUPERB job of acting that I have not seen in a long while. Both should have also been awarded for BEST ACTOR/SUPPORTING ACTOR. The Academy Awards really disappointed me with their SAFE CHOICE in choosing Crash in Best Picture. Brokeback Mountin is more emotional and it requires that you challenge your beliefs. This movie could change your idea on what Love means.
"I can`t believe that Crash beat this movie", says one guest. I can. They were both crap and it`s hard to tell which was worse. Mountain was exceptional only for being boring.
Great movie, keeps you thinking for days at how sad it is that two people can be so deeply in love and unable to be together. Really makes you think. Definately should see it, but make sure to look past the "gay" thing and look at the love story. What people do in their own privacy is nobody`s buisness so those that have a problem with that should get over it. I`m hetrosexual but am able to understand the underlying meaning here. Loved the show!!
I looved this movie. Anyone who says its about gay guys don`t understand that it is really a wonderful love story and the fact that these guys go both ways really should not be a problem except for people like you.
I think the movie was wonderful. While it did seem awfully long, it was to better explain the relationship between these two men. A must see. As for anyone who thinks the world isn`t ready, if that`s the case they`ll never be ready. Sometimes the world needs a swift kick in the rear in order to take a step forward. So take that step and see this movie. ^.^
This was a wonderful movie. Gay, straight, whomever should be able to overcome their `issues` and see this movie. A great love story !!!
I can`t believe that Crash beat this movie in the Oscars. No comparison. 5 Stars!!!
Here is some insight. If you are a real man you under no circumstance portray a gay person, unless in fun, unless you have hidden gay tendencies.
ZOMG! it was so awesome! i laughed through the whole thing =D nothing funnier than two gay cowboys!!! Thats one for the record books i was crying i was laughing so hard =D=D=D GO SEE IT!
haha seeing anne hataway in the princess diaries, and seeing her in this one, made me look at her in a different way, but omg jake is soo hot! it was a really good movie,
Ledger didn`t move his lips once. Weak movie - 2 thumbs down from me and my date.
THIS FILM IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING WITH A CAPITAL D & BORING.
It`s really GREAT movie! Keeps me thinking about it for 2 days. Don`t listen to anyone,go see it!
it was bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really liked this movie. I would watch it again. I was really impressed with Jake Gyllenhaal. He is an amazing actor. Raw emotion was shown by that boy. I wasn`t really impressed with Heath Ledger but he certainly didn`t take anything away from the movie. I recommend this to everyone interested in a heart bracking love story.
I never wanted to sleep so much, this movie was so boring. There was nothing scecial or even good about this movie. Just because it discusses a topic considered taboo in the past by no means makes it a good movie. 2nd worst movie I saw this year. Jarhead still gets first place.
Can`t wait to see the women version on showcase.
This film was a great cure for insomnia.
I think it`s ridiculous that this movie is being mentioned for an Oscar - for any Oscar. The movie was OK. Not stellar, not incredible, not moving, not anything else. I`m glad that the story was told so that heterosexuals can learn that just because you`re gay doesn`t mean that you have to act queeny. But other than that, it was pretty boring. The characters (Jake and Heath`s) both got what they deserved, being as they were cheating on their wives to be with each other. If you replace one of the guys with a girl, it would be the most boring movie ever told.
i just loved it.what a great inspiring movie
Of all things, did they really have to make them cowboys? If they had made it about a gay couple of the city it`d be just as bad. Cari - Lethbridge
I have to admit great acting and wonderful scenery, but that`s about it. Yet again a tragic gay love story. Very predictable as well as stereotypical. Why can`t it be a love story with a more positive outcome? I certainly don`t understand what all the hype is about this movie. A good movie, but not great. The opportunity for a great movie was certainly there, but falls short.
Remembering what time the movie was set in was a very eye opening experience of what went on in that day.
Heart-breaking love story.
It was great. I love movies that rivit you to the screen and make you feel right along with the charaters of the film.I am looking foward to the dvd release because I could not think of never seeing this movie again.
A movie that stays in your mind, great music selection, well carried for this type of plot (2 guys in love). Realistic. KM
I feel really bad for the people who think this movie is great! Let`s be honest with ourselves. It sucked worse than "Attack from MARS". For those of you that think this movie was ground breaking, please go rent "I love a man in uniform" and/or "My own private Idaho". Do you all think this is the first gay flick? Guess again. Did it get reviews becuase of the big names it had or the story line? Then again I could of wrapped this movie up in 15 minutes. I could watch the starting five min, and the ending 5 and know the whole thing. And what`s the irony with the sheep? And yes for you doubters out there, Im homophobic but I enjoy a great movie.
A fantastic movie
Anyone who did not like this movie must be really back woods and closed minded. It was beautifully done! The acting was excellent and well deserving of the awards it is recieving.
Wonderful love story
Interesting and well-acted, but dragged throughout.
A movie that keeps you thinking many days after you have seen it is a powerful movie. I have always loved the outdoors and the scenery was a pleasure to see. It was a love story. It maybe shocking at first to see some of the early scenes but I think it is good for us all to be view and be better able to relate to what "other couples" have to go through.
i thought it was great.
i feel really sad for the people who didn`t like this movie. This is the best movie to come out in I don`t know when.
