Summary: open your mind and your heart...
Comment: and you will be deeply touched. I just rented this movie and am so glad I finally did. It is one of the most toching, raw and honest love stories I have ever seen...and it will stay with you long after the movie is over. This has easily become one of my new favorite movies. The acting is done so well...that you feel like you are there with them...going through all they are experiencing. Love doesn't know gender, age or race. I would say to watch this film more than once, because there can be so much you didn't catch the first time you see it. It took my breath away. This is love in it's purest form...consumming, inconvenient, crazy...can't live without each other love.

Summary: Loved this!!!
Comment: This is my favorite movie. The director is amazing. The scores are phenomenal. The acting by both leads as well as the supporting actresses was perfect. I fell in love with the story. I can't imagine being loved like that. Being taken for granted is easy, but loved like that is just amazing. Everything rang true and it was just so moving. Also, the collector's edition with the postcards are fantastic. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Summary: Shed a tear
Comment: A very poignant film. I couldn't remain dry eyed throughout the whole thing, and I'm not one to get very emotional.
This movie reminds me of my own struggal to reach out to someone when it's hard to. I think it will move anyone who's ever felt the pain that so often comes with the joy of love. If that's you, you will thoroughly enjoy this movie.

Summary: " TO THINE OWNSELF BE TRUE "
Comment: I suppose IF they werent living a cowboys existance ( and that's all they knew ) , they could have gone to a big city where nobody really cared ..however, in the early 60's many still did care, and shunned the gays even before AIDS , many were stayed in the closet ( so to speak ).
I 'm guessing the reason they married women was to throw off any suspicion from them in their small towns , especially when they were caught romping about in camp while suposedly watching over sheep . ( Now there would have been a good subsitute if lonely on the range I hear . ) anyway, The one wife knew early on ...why did she stay ? I wouldn't have . I'd be out that door in a flash .
The movie to me was slow and I had to watch it three different times , pick up where I left off to get thru it . Glad I waited til cable got hold of it .
Seriously I'm still not clear how the one guy died . did he actually have a tire blow up in his face OR did some cowboy who'm he misjudged as gay got pissed at this & he & his friends murder him ? Hey, I understand there still is limited tolerance in many of these " cowpoke " communities . It's been in news papers that not many years ago a gay boy was murdered then dragged beyond recognition behind their truck . We're still learning tolerance in this country I guess .

Summary: interesting subject but I thought it dragged
Comment: The main thing I didn't understand was if these two guys really wanted to be together, why didn't they move someplace where they could be accepted? There have been many cities that accepted gays. NY, SF, New O., Chicago, and most major cites in the north. Why not go there? If they they were gay why did they marry women? None of this made sense to me. I remember the 60's and there were gay people who were out, and nobody cared. I don't think the movie was a true perspective of gay life when these 2 guys got together. It wasn't until the 80's and HIV came along that homosexuality became a big scare, and with good reason. But back in the 60s and 70's gays were accepted in many cities.
If they wanted to ride around in the mountains, and get married, then they made their choices. Nobody can have it all.

Brokeback Mountain is a sweeping epic that explores the lives of two young men a ranch hand and a rodeo cowboy who meet in the summer of 1963 and unexpectedly forge a lifelong connection. The complications joys and heartbreak they experience provide a testament to the endurance and power of love. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal deliver emotionally charged remarkably moving performances in "a movie that is destined to become one of the great classics of our time" (Clay Smith The Insider).Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:Â DRAMA Rating:Â R UPC:Â 025192631528 Manufacturer No:Â 26315
