It's a romance so don't call it a gay cowboy story!!!

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2006)

Why must everyone call it a "gay cowboy movie?" It is much more than that. It is about two cowboys Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger). They meet the year of 1963 when they both work as sheepherders for (Randy Quaid). It started out as a really good friendship until one night when they were both drunk they both slept in the same tent and had violent sex. Then they both tried to hide the fact that they loved each other like Heath's famous line in the movie "You know I ain't queer" and Jake saying "Me neither." Then they got married and had kids and met up 4 years later and started to have that same kind of relationship over again. Jack wasn't afraid to admit that he loved Ennis but Ennis was because he said that there were these two guys that lived together they were really tough old guys but one day one of them got a rope tied and dragged him around till his dick pulled off. I was only 9 and my dad made sure me and my brother saw it. For all I knew my dad could've done the job." Those are his famous lines in the movie. Ever since then he never wanted to admit his love to Jack because he was afraid that would happen to one of them and he never wanted that to happen. Then after the last time they met up Jack died at the age of 29 but we'll never know the cause because Ennis imagines him getting beat up by people like what happened to the people in his old town or if he really died like his wife said. So it's always going to be a mystery to us we'll just have to use our imagination.
