Rating: 10/10 (9 June 2016)

Brokeback mountain is the heartbreaking story of two gay cowboys who secretly carry on a relationship for years and years. This is truly the best LGBT film ever made, it is captivating, well acted, beautifully written, and well directed by Ang Lee. The two main actors the star in this are Jake gylanhall and Heath ledger. The movie starts out with them meeting one summer to work and ranch on Brokeback mountain, and there that's where their bond and connection begins, I cannot even begin to say how well Jake and Heath pulled this off, especially as two straight men in real life, in my opinion they were both cheated out of their Oscar wins. The connection and the romance that they share together is so real and so captivating to the audience, although Heath's character is so scared to be himself and is so scared he might be judged by society that he will not enter into a full on relationship with Jake's character, Jack. They both go their separate ways and eventually both get married to women and have children, but while they are married and living their lives, they still meet secretly on Brokeback mountain to have "fishing trips". That is what is so heartbreaking about this film is that they clearly want to be together and are in love but their lives will not allow them to be together fully. Also Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway are both so real and so incredible in this movie. They both deliver top-notch acting performances. This movie teaches that society must accept people that are different, the LGBT I mean, because truthfully if society and people wouldn't have been so judgmental than the two main characters probably could've lived together happily forever. Unfortunately towards the end of the film a tragic event happens and Jack dies. I do think that this was a clever good ending, no it is not a happy ending but it is still a clever one. This is truly one of the best films ever, and if you are a parent of a 16 or 17- year-old teenager, then I would strongly suggest watching it with them. Yes, there is one gay sex scene, but it is not long and it is not graphic, this movie truly needs to be seen by everyone. And if you don't agree with homosexuality, than this movie might just shine a different light on it, and it might make you have second thoughts about it. 10/10!
