I never thought a movie could say so much. Brokeback Mountain has now become probably the best movie I have ever seen in all times. While watching the movie, it was almost like the feelings were protruding through the screen. I could feel every bit of passion, anger, anxiety, fear and love that they showed for each other. It was unbelievable how strongly Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal managed to portray these characters. You could see it in their eyes, in their gestures and body language that from the very first time they met, there was something there. The feelings were so new that the passion became so strong. The intensity of love between them forced them to become almost aggressive each time they saw each other; that's how deep and strong their feelings were.
This movie really has mangaged to touch my heart. I've never cried while watching a movie and while watching Brokeback Mountain, the rush of emotions was impossible to avoid. It just shows that not only back in the 60s and 70s, but still now gay people in most places are forced to hide who they truely are and who they really love. The comparison to the present is brilliant. The point came across really well; I could feel every bit of sadness they felt when they had to leave each other. I'm sure I'm not only speaking for myself, but throughout the film, there was a vibe of feelings that was oddly familiar -let alone being gay or straight- the love that keeps two human beings together -whether two females, two males or a male and a female- is so strong that nothing can get between them, apart from death. Ennis is the quiet guy that keeps things mostly to himself. The death of Jack took a moment to sink in, but he couldn't ignore the fact that he loved him and that what happened to him might not have been a casual accident. If two people with such a strong bond -close or apart- are not allowed to stay together because of the prejudice of some scumbag, which results in them getting hurt so bad that one or both get killed, then i seriously think that all people that think that way are a disgrace. Just because the relationship between two people of the same sex might not seem "normal" to some people, there is no reason to alienate them or to doubt their love is any different from the one between straight people. Who knows, it's probably even stronger.
I hope you're not a prejudiced scumbag.
