This is one of the most powerful movies that has been made in many years about a relationship gay or straight. I don`t see Ennis or Jack as being selfish in marrying women. They did this because this is what society said they must do. Being afraid of societal opinions can lead many people to do things that make them unhappy,particularly when they are still young and very impressionable. This movie was not slow or boring. It developed the relation ship gradually in a suspended in time sort of way that comes to an abrut end when they have to face the real world and it`s consequences.They thought it was just one of those things in their past so
I THOUGHT THE MOVIE WAS A FANTASTIC LOVE STORY. THE ACTING WAS GREAT AND THE SURROUNDINGS WERE BEAUTIFUL. I`D RECOMMENED IT TO EVERYBODY AND TELL THEM TO SEE IT WITH AN OPEN MIND.
I found it very intense and awsome drama for it makes you think how love can be hard to have even if it`s the only thing you want
It is terrible that the GAY content is not mentioned in any previews, It`s a nice Hollywood trick, the Alberta scenes were good but I am not interested in watching two guys make out.. it is not old thinking but I HAVE RIGHTS TOO...I choose not to watch this garbage so please do not trick more people. BAD MOVIE Tom L. Vancouver BC
it was ok and very true how it is wish we could hear what they were saying some of the time the places the shout the movie was ossome
heath and jake...end of story
The acting was good, but the plot was not! It was essentially about 2 people who fell in love , married other people and cheated while they were married. The homosexuality didn`t bother me , but the cheating did.
Im sorry but were all of you people drunk when you saw this movie. IT WAS AWEFUL the gayness didnt bug me it was just a bad movie the plot sucks, you can understand half the words they are saying. I dont know how it got any oscar nominations. MVP Most Valuable Primate was better then this movie.....
A great movie about 2 people in love and what they endure to make it last. Their love stands the test of society`s backwards thinking, that still lingers unfortunatly today. It is groundbreaking to finally see other depictions of different kinds of love on the big screen, making people realize there are many people in the world that can find a love so strong nothing can take it away. It is admirable that this type of film will open the doors to so many people who live in a similar situation, that we should be accepting of everybody and their beliefs, because everyone should be able to love without shame.
This movie was incredible. I myself, being a straight male, 19 years old, decided to view this with an open mind. It is an amazing tale of how love should not be confined to such borders as age, race, or even gender. What we need is a movie like this, to shake up culture. Love should not be confined by body. It is a joining of souls.
Brokeback Mountain, to me, is about the process of finding one`s true self. It`s not about how gay people kissing and making out. It`s about how homosexuality has always been in history, but has always been Excluded from it. If you are truly secure about your own sexuality, whether male of female, you would love this movie.
crazy good
i love heath
Two words: Hated it.
Brokeback Mountain is the best movie of the year because it`s a story about how much two people will go to lengths to be with one another. I really would recommand it to everyone to see it.
I was really dissapointed. Two of the best actor`s in a gay movie is horrible. It makes people think that being gay is okay. Its not. I was dissapointed.
Went and saw it yesterday with my partner. She thought it was a little boring. I thought it was a great movie, I really enjoyed it. Everything about it was excellent. The comments about ...too much gay sex!!....just makes me laugh. Go see it, you might like it !!
this was absolutely the best film i`ve seen in a very very long time. as a straight 22 year old male i was was really uneasy about having to see two guys in a love scene. however, after putting my reservations aside and walking in with an open mind, the movie really got under my skin. this movie isn`t about being gay or straight or bi or whatever label people want to put on the way one person loves another person. what this movie really proves is that our society hasn`t changed all that much in terms of our acceptance of other people. it is one of the greatest love stories ever told and illustrates the tragedy that comes along with denyi
It was a great movie - Gay men represent a significant portion of society and it is great to see the pressure they feel in expressing their feeling for one an other.
I believe that Brokeback Mountain is a true love story that will stand the test of time, providing society views it just as it is. It has nothing to do with the fact that it is two men that have fallen in love....it is a story of how powerful love can be no matter who you are!
This is an amazing movie for those who are mature and possess an open mind. It is not a film about two homosexuals, it is about two people in love... period.
My true friend and I have been together, hiding for 34 years. Yes we even had to move from a home we loved. This movie, its story, its music has touch us deeply. We hope someday society will accept us knowing we also have feelings. We are looking forward for the DVD. Thank you
Very well done.
Brilliant - It`s a movie everyone should see, especially those who wish to discriminate against others for who they love.
Unbelievable...what a beautiful love story that needed to be shared with the world. I will see this again and again. Oscar..Oscar..
This was a movie beyond all boundaries. It touched on what goes unseen and therefore unheard of. This love story was beautifully depicted with all its struggles and peaks. I would recommend this story to anyone wanting to see a movie with emotional depth and incredible scenery. A definite five stars!
Visually a stunning movie and the musical score is also noteworthy. However, overall I was disappointed. I expected a tragic and beautiful love story but it was just mediocre to me. If the movie had been about a man and a woman I would still feel the same way. I think people/critics are impressed with the movie because it shows two straight men acting `gay` - this isn`t enough for me to deem this movie a "best picture" contender come Oscar time.
Of course, I had to weep or cry my way through some parts of this movie! I`ve started to realize that this test tells me not only something about myself, but about the cinematic skills being portrayed in the movie I am watching. The visual stimulation of the actors, actresses, and the beauty of the land; the aural poignancy of the music: superb! Simon
Best Movie I have seen in a long time!
it was an excellent movie i really enjoyed it! the two boys were great
Best love story. Jake Gyllenhaal did a fantaslic job in this film. I saw this movie for almost 10 times and I am going to see it again.
it`s about time. The world needs to see this film. Bravo!
The one thing this film taught me was to never trust the relationship of two men.
Perhaps my view is slightly smeared due to the rather intense gay scene, which I did not enjoy. Honestly I dont think the movie was anything spectacular, and is riding on the gay cowboy theme. I didnt find it to be very romantic at all, except for the intimiate parts they just seemed like two normal buddies hanging out.
its great to see a dignified and realistic portrayal of homosexuals, becuase ive seen too many stereotypes of gay men in comedies
Once I got over the discomfort of watching 2 men in a rough sex act (I brought my 15 year old daughter), I found myself watching a love story. It was beautifully filmed (great views, Alberta!) The end is touching and non-gender specific as far as how the main character reacts to the situation. (great ending!)
Was well done. Scenery was beautiful. A little slow at times but captured the social attitudes of the time so well. A sad story.
Absolute best movie I have seen in ages. I saw it 3 times at the theatre. Can`t wait to own it on DVD. Loved it!
Best film ever.
This was an excellent movie. Extremely well acted, the scenery and photography was marvellous and the storythough sad, was enlightening. A must see. Hope it wins as many awards as it is elected for.
Amazing. Definitely worth seeing. It is tough to be in that position today (married but gay/bi), its hard to imagine how hard it was in the 60`s.
Incredible love story...str8 men could learn a lesson here
I thought it was a fantastic movie. i dont believe that a movie of such great quality like Brokeback Mountain has been made in quite a long time. i thought it was brilliant. It made me cry and most of all i believe it was about two ppls battle with love and broken families then the fact that they were gay.
This was a well brought out movie that deserves a lot of credit to the author, actors and director. Well done!!
Worst movie of all time
Excellent film. Haunting and sad and *real*.
bad for men
BEST movie out there!!!!!!!!!!!! go see it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best movie of the year is either this or Memoirs Of A Geisha. For some ridiculous reason Memoirs wasn`t nominated for best picture (or much of anything for that matter) at this year`s Oscars, so Brokeback Mountain better win instead.
this was an amazing movie it is one that will stay in your mind for days after. you would regret not seeing it.
