Finally, gay movie thats not gay cliché

Rating: Null/10 (6 June 2006)

The most controversial movie of the year. Brokeback Mountain, based on the short story by Annie E. Proulx, tells the story about two cowboys in the 1960's meet each other while on a job sheep herding in the mountain regions of Wyoming. While working they discover love in each other. Over the years after they both get married and have kids, they keep in touch in a long distance affair.
Excellent performances by Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhall, and Michelle Williams. Although the movie didn't really appeal to me as a great film, but I think it deserved its Oscar in Achievement in Directing for Ang Lee. He chose the perfect landscapes and surrounds and beautiful angle shots of the mountains and rivers flowing through them.
***1/2 out of ****
