Chukwudi Anuforo Eccentric | This is the best love story between two men till date. Watching this movie 15 years later, I haven't found any movie that tells such powerful bond between two men at a time when homosexuality was more or less a taboo. |
Two Men In Love at the Venice Film Festival (by bethlambert117) |
It was a real ordeal to get into the screening. The anticipation was palpable. The film arrived surrounded by a plethora of innuendo. "A gay western" "Heath and Jake's hot scenes" As soon as the film started every imaginable preconception flew out of the auditorium. This is a remarkable, moving and powerful love story. The setting is that of a modern western "The Last Picture Show" comes to mind. Ang Lee's attention to detail verges on science fiction. You can actually smell the place. Extraordinary. I'm not going to reveal anything about the story - <more> |
A Cinematic Landmark (by gabrieletaibo) |
The feeling lingers. The images come back, not to haunt you but to reassure you. There is an element of hope within the melancholic sadness of this Ang Lee masterpiece. There hasn't been such a limpid definition of love since the world was still innocent. Limpid, yes, that's the word that comes to mind, remembering the shy lopsided smile of the extraordinary Heath Ledger. Who could possibly have predicted that Heath Ledger was such a giant, unquestionably destined to a legendary career. Well, Ang Lee I guess. Lee seems in total control of his canvas. Every frame is a moment, the <more> |
Powerful, Numbing (by Jamester) |
I just saw this at the Toronto International Film Festival TIFF to a packed house with Ang Lee present for today's screening . And I have to say, it absolutely transfixed me and was worth the watch. Out of 24 movies I screened at the TIFF this year, this was the only one I rated a 10/10! Three things really stood out for me making this a stand-out of a film:1 HONESTY: Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal really pulled this off. I wasn't expecting performances so real and nuanced, and was warmly surprised. Kudos, also, to Mr. Lee for making such a poignant and refreshingly honest <more> |
An amazing piece of cinema.. (by qball_82) |
I was fortunate enough to see the North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. That was two days ago, and this film just wont leave my mind. Not that I'm complaining because this is what good cinema is all about.Ennis and Jack, two cowboys who fall in love. As others have touched on, Brokeback Mountain is so much more than merely a "gay cowboy movie". It perfectly captures what true, unbridled love is all about and this love transcends any issues of sexuality or gender. "Love is a force of nature". Unfortunately for many people and indeed the <more> |
A review from a straight Christian guy. (by cliffr2k) |
This film let people understand how homosexuality is being force into misery life by the unnecessary prejudice and hatred toward them.It is sad that many people who carry traditional religion beliefs spread hatred against homosexuality.As the current society has problems that need to be focus on such as high divorce rate among heterosexual couple, domestic violence in this world It hurts me as I see one of the movie review posts that glorifies SAW2 as far more superior movie and enjoyable movie when compare with Brokeback mountain .Despite all these problems, yet people choose to pick up on <more> |
Heartbreaking, gut-wrenching about how lonely life can be when you can't be true to your own nature (by goldilocks_78) |
When I saw Brokeback Mountain last night at the Oslo International Film Festival, I was perhaps a bit over the top desirous and eager to see it, as I had recently read the short story by Annie Proulx which I had replayed over and over in my head. Thus, I was somewhat numb throughout the whole screening, and it wasn't before after I had returned home and lay sleepless through half of the night with an unfamiliar tummy ache that I realized the profound effect the movie had actually made on me.This understated and heavenly beautiful movie directed by Ang Lee tells the story about a love that <more> |
Aother film where women are treated badly. (by carpedieminv) |
I am commenting on this movie after sitting through it for two hours.I found it self indulgent and far from being a love story.This is a movie obviously made by self indulgent gay male movie execs who think it acceptable for women to be poorly treated yet again in a movie with no comment being made or passed.This takes womens role in film back 15 years.Heath ledger basically rapes his wife..yet it passes without comment by the filmmakers.. Basically this film is an excuse for two men to have it their way on a mountain and women to be treated badly because they are "men"..I don't <more> |
Changed my thinking (by moviegoer_03170) |
Let me start this off by saying that I am a proud citizen of mobile, Alabama and a follower of Jesus Christ our lord. I agree with everything the Bible says about sex before marriage, drugs, and the homosexuals. So imagine my surprise when my wife comes home with two tickets to go see Brokeback Mountain She heard about its 8 Oscar nominations or something . Now, you don't know my wife..but she asks me to do about two things a year: go to a dinner with her and go to movie. And if I don't, I'm pretty sure I would lose an appendage and since I didn't really want to figure which <more> |
LIKED IT, but not for the intended purpose (by MatthewCJones) |
I am a strong Christian and I go to a strong Christian University. Needless to say most people at my school would not go see this movie. But I am a filmmaker, and in order to be able to talk about this movie effectively I had to see it. So it did, and I was quite impressed. I liked the movie a lot. The cinematography was pretty amazing, the acting was some of the best acting I have ever seen. Jake and Heath both need to share that best actor golden globe and Oscar, Michelle Williams was great as well and I was VERY impressed with Anne Hathaway's role. Boy, she sure has changed from <more> |
