Rating: 8/10 (18 June 2011)

Ang Lee made a movie that will never be forgotten. Brokeback Mountain is a love story between two cowboys Heath Ledger (Enis) and Jake Gyllenhaal (Jack). This film opens your eyes and I will admit I pass judgment until I actually viewed the film. Jack and Ennis had agreed that no one would know about their relationship because they could end up dead if someone found out. One cold night in a tent was all it took to spark the relationship up between the two sheep herders. The film took a little while to develop it was a long drawn out herding scene. They both got married and still seen each other often on fishing trips. The marriages were a big lie because they were in a secret relationship. The love story in this film reminds me of the titanic in the love that they had for each other. The theme of Brokeback Mountain is the overwhelming force of love between two people. No matter what Jack and Enis had going they would always find time to meet over a twenty year span. They both had their own families and also had their secret life. The media looks at this film as a "gay cowboys" and this movie is not all that bad. This movie really did have the potential of going south real quick because the guys do not want to see a movie about gay cowboys. The camera angles were perfect in this film. The angles had the viewer's right in the action. When the guys were at the campfire it felt like we were sitting on a long right beside them. The angle showed the beautiful scenery on the mountain. It was nice green grass and a beautiful blue sky a perfect view. The other contributing factor was the sound effect. At the campfire you could hear the wood crackling from the wood and that made you feel really involved in the film. While on the mountain it was a soft guitar music play that kind of set the mood for the film and it was a nice mellow tune. Another good example was when the little girls were swings the squeaking from the swings sounded like you could have been right there pushing them. I was a skeptic against Brokeback and I said I would never watch it, but it is a pretty good film to watch.
