Review
Entertainment Weekly, 12/09/2005, p.59-60, "BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN is that rare thing, a big Hollywood weeper with a beautiful ache at its center. It's a modern-age Western that turns into a quietly revolutionary love story." -- Grade: A Rolling Stone, 12/15/2005, p.161, 4 stars out of 5 -- "Ang Lee's unmissable and unforgettable BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN hits you like a shot in the heart. It's a landmark film and a triumph for Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal..." Uncut, 01/01/2006, p.128-129, "[I]t's a nuanced and complex study of desire, loneliness and the ambiguities swirling beneath the accepted codes of rural life. And, as such, one of the finest movies of the year." New York Times, 12/09/2005, p.E1, "The lonesome chill that seeps through Ang Lee's epic western, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN is as bone deep as the movie's heartbreaking story..." Sight and Sound, 01/01/2006, p.50, "[T]he screenplay is a model of sensitive adaptation....The screenwriters' most significant contribution is their investment in well-defined, plausible female characters." Entertainment Weekly, 12/30/2005, p.114, Included in Entertainment Weekly's Top Ten Films Of The Year -- "[A] quietly revolutionary weeper..." Film Comment, 11/01/2005, p.71-72, "[I]mmaculately made...with career-making performances by its two reluctant lovers, Gyllenhaal and Ledger....Count them both in at nomination time." Premiere, 12/01/2005, p.52-56, 4 stars out of 4 -- "[O]ne of the truly convincing movies about romantic love to come along in years..." Uncut, 01/01/2006, p.82-83, Ranked #11 in Uncut's Best Films Of 2005 -- "A beautiful, elegant, elegiac movie, directed with great sensitivity and enhanced by outstanding performances." Widescreen Review, 05/01/2006, p.65, "Stellar performances, a haunting Oscar-winning soundtrack, and beautiful cinematography make for an unforgettable story." USA Today, 12/09/2005, p.4E, "It's a heart-wrenching portrayal of unfulfilled Wyoming love....The movie soars for the duration..." Total Film, 07/01/2006, p.116, 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] beautiful movie....The wide-open spaces of Wyoming, with its jagged, snow-dipped peaks and too-puffy-to-be-true cloud formations, linger long after the credits have faded. There's also a fragile, internalised beauty..."

Product Notes
Based on the short story by Pulitzer Prize-winning author E. Annie Proulx, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN is the tragic and moving story of two cowboys who unexpectedly fall in love while working together one summer in 1963. When the film begins, rodeo cowboy Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) and ranch-hand Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger) are strangers meeting for the first time. As the more outgoing one, it is Jack who must initiate a friendship with Ennis, a man so tight-lipped and self-consciously macho he refuses all facial expression. From this strained beginning, Jack and Ennis gradually begin to bond on cold, lonely nights over a fire in the mountains of Signal, Wyoming. One particularly chilly evening, Jack invites Ennis into his tent, where a sudden awkward embrace sends their relationship in a new direction. Though each man stubbornly defends his heterosexuality, the spark between them cannot help but grow, with that initial summer on Brokeback Mountain becoming their reference point for happiness during the rest of their lives.

By sukr 4 a cowboy
This movie had some good scenes but lacked the quality I expected from a 3 time
academy award winner. Not to take away from Ledger and Gyllenhaal...they do a
bang up job.
