Not Oscar Worthy in my judgment.

Rating: Null/10 (3 March 2007)

I remember when this first came out back in 2005. I didn't know what it was about, I just kept hearing it was gay every time someone at my high school would bring it up. I finally saw it last February.
It takes place in the 60s-70s. About 2 young cowboys given a job to guide thousands of sheep through the wilderness, through Brokeback Mountain, and to the ranch that's located there. As both Dennis and Jack bound with one another. They soon begin to have an unpredictable relationship. And liked each other in a way. But after their job was over they went back to their lives. They both went their separate ways and married straight women. But have met again time after time. But hardly anyone knows what they are up to. And soon things become complicated about why couldn't they get together and start a life at Brokeback. As well as their relations with their wives are becoming thinner and thinner.
Please know that I'm straight, & didn't watch this movie because of it's theme. I just wanted to know what the whole big fuss was about it. And despite it having some great visuals in the backgrounds and Anna Hatheway playing as a secondary character. I give it credit on the camera job. But I don't think it's really worthy of being awarded for any category in cinema. The story is what gives me negative thoughts about it. I have nothing against homosexuals. It's just not a movie to see again and again.
Brokeback Mountain is recommended to those who don't mind gay people. Even though the word gay wasn't used at all through out the movie. But those who are against non-straight people will hate it a lot.
