Review by anonymous (posted on 3-Jun-2006)

This movie is a touching display of love, loss, and life. I have always felt that love is love, regardless of where it comes from, but seeing this movie really affirmed for me WHY I feel this way. The raw emotion of both characters, as well as the tragedy of them going for all those years, hiding from an unaccepting society, instead of following their heart is what really keeps me entralled with Brokeback Mountain. I rented it, and then actually purchased the film, because it is a ground breaker, and a truly masterful and beautiful movie. It focuses more on love than on just the sexuality of same sex relationships in a superb and realistic way. I highly recommend it.

Review by J.T. Garner (posted on 25-May-2007)

This movie starts out innocently enough with a beautiful backdrop of what your made to think are the hills of Wyoming at day break. (Most of the filming was actually done in Alberta, Canada) Enis Delmar (Heath Ledger) is a ranch hand looking for work when he runs into Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal). The two are sent to herd sheep on nearby isolated Brokeback Mountain. Slowly they build a friend ship, hunting, riding, and drinking by the fire. One night of drinking makes them a whole lot closer than they ever expected to be and soon the young men find them selves in a bitter sweet love affair that spans the course of 20 years. Both men go there seperate ways and try the family life but as the days go on they long for each others company. Going on long fishing and hunting trips once or twice a year starts taking a toll on their relationship and the more lies they tell the closer they come to be found out. The movie is a lengthy one and that's why I took off 1/2 a star. It's an excellent movie but it's not an action movie. The raciest scene is within the first 45 minutes of the movie. It last maybe 30 seconds? So if that's keeping you from seeing this film, get over it. You can handle it.
