Summary: One for a contemplative mood
Comment: This film is one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. Heath Ledgers' brilliant performance
is just the start of what makes this such a sad and thought-provoking emotional film. Forget about
the 'gay cowboy movie' critics, and just concentrate on what this is....a love story. Beautiful
acting, stunning cinematography, attention to detail. For me this film has it all.

Summary: actors shine in beautiful drama
Comment: Heath Ledger (Monster's Ball) stars as Ennis Del Mar, a man sent to work on Brokeback Mountain
alongside Jake Gyllenhaal's (Donnie Darko) character Jack Twist. As work takes its toll, the two
fall in love and encounter many challenges as time moves on.

Based on Annie Proulx's
novel, this Oscar winning romantic drama brings a sensitive ideology to viewers in a heart warming
tale about two cowboys.

The slow moving plot took a while to get into at the beginning
but as we see more of the character's personalities does the film start to become intriguing
viewing. The plot is excellent in focusing strongly upon the character's personalities and the
emotions each go through as they slowly start to bond. His ideology will keep you hooked as it
follows many relationship conventions but is told in such a way that it is sad and also portrays
realism, which many romantic films do, but in a soppy way.

This drama differs by being
less comical and more serious in its nature and you can really feel for the two characters. />
This film, I believe, wouldn't have been as great if Ledger and Gyllenhaal not stared in
it, they were simply astonishing in their roles as the two cowboys. Both receiving Oscar
nominations, the two are brilliant in conforming to their characters, and perfect the nature of
their sexuality even more so. Both with their own personal backgrounds we can get an understanding
of what they are like and where they have been as the film progresses.

Ang Lee's
(Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) direction is excellent. I personally love films which have scenes
of around 5 seconds long, just beautiful in portraying the character in everyday life, perfect
realism which needs to be encoded more into modern day films. Lee captures the intensity of the
characters brilliantly with close shots encoded to portray their emotions and one of the scenes
towards the end is really sentimental and couldn't have been directed much better.
/>Brokeback Mountain is a wonderful setting, quite and peaceful in which this story about two people
who fall in love could not have been better placed.

Summary: One of the all-time great movies
Comment: Rarely does a film affect your thinking as much as Brokeback Mountain.
Touching on the
struggle to be yourself in society, Brokeback inspires greater understanding of, and empathy with,
people different to onself.
These star-crossed lovers are, of course, doomed but the positive
effect each one has on the other is undeniable.

Beautifully photographed, well-paced
and with a haunting score, this film should be seen by everyone.

Summary: slow, deep, and sensual film....
Comment: Yes this film is 'slow' paced but its supposed to be! Its a story of two young men how develope a
love hate relationship for one another, which eventually escalates into a sensual romance that is
truley deep.
Heath ledger was on top form here, aswell as his on screen counter part Jake
gyllenhall. I can not fault this film at all...

Summary: A slow but nice film
Comment: After all the hype, I felt I had to watch this. Its beautifully directed and the Wyoming scenery is
fantastic. Jake and the late Heaths acting is superb, however I found it very slow moving and I must
admit at one stage I was willing for the end! A nice thought provoking love story, but rather over
hyped...straight men would be bored!! so, save this film for an afternoon, preferably a rainy Sunday
one.
