The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Its a nice and touching romance movie regardless of your sexual orientation. (Unless you have homophobia) Great acting by both dudes and really good cinematography.This love story between two guys suppose to span over 20 years and I'm definitly not a make-up expert but I thought the make-up game was pretty weak in terms of helping you where you are in the timeline. It was impossible to tell whether it was a week later or 4 years later. But overall it was an enjoyable ride. Ride lolTwo cowboys fall for each other and have to live out a secretive love affair while juggling wives, kids and work.

This movie that would be a great movie, for my taste is undone by a fact. This fact caused all the rest to fall apart. I tell it in the spoiler zone. Apart I must be the only person who has been a little long but that's the way it is.Photography, without being the best in the world, is good. The two main actors are great and the others alsoIt is well set and putting tough guys in difficult places as opposed to their sexual tendencies is very well thought out.Although I do not like your address. I know it's hard to think how to plan well and not settle for the camera is a simple observer but here it is and that's saying that Ang Lee does not usually plan badly.It is appreciated that actors who are beginning to dare to do this type of movies.Spoiler:At the end of the film, when we see father and daughter, I could not stop staring at Heath Ledger's dyed hair. It is assumed that this is a movie would be big budget. Did not he give them to really age him? I could not help but think, but if you are brothers, how is your father going to be. This fact caused all the rest to fall apart. I really like the symbols he uses, like finding the shirt in the closet.

Film Review: "Brokeback Mountain" (2005)Based on a short story by Annie Proulx published in The New Yorker in 1997, Director Ang Lee plays out his strongest suit with casting match-making actors Jake Gyllenhaal and all-too-soon deceased Heath Ledger (1979-2008), who carries the picture all along toward trailer homes as the character of Ennis Del Mar, to transform into two cowboys living in the U.S. mid-west of the 1960s.The film covers a time period from approximately 17 years of two man's lives from 1963 to 1980, stretching countryside from Wyoming to Texas as well as the U.S. American Culture of the lonesome struggling drifter, who eventually encounter his personal haven with marrying a woman of care, after the damage had already been done in an incident scene of homosexual intercourse in a tent of the title-given remote area, where beats of violence between two men transforms into anal relaxation, breaking finally with the western mythology between fist-fighting, pub-brawling and occasional pistol duels encountering cowboys.Director Ang Lee, spoiled and partially disappointed on the misinterpreted high-end comic book adaptation of "Hulk" (2003), turns to his independent roots with "Brokeback Mountain" shaking up a dusty story structures of a contemporary melodrama, using the forfeited love story between two men as an universal speaking approach on human isolation within natural needs in an accelerating society.The picture may not strike an initial nerve again as it did on release in December 2005. Yet it had been executed well enough due to breath-taking cinematographic on-location backdrops captured by Rodrigo Prieto's camera operation team as solid pacing editorial by Dylan Tichenor, who supported Director Ang Lee getting back on his feet after a major Hollywood big-budget production melt-down, where he eventually returned to with the all-over internationally successful motion picture "Life of Pi" (2012) to get recognized a second time by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Best Directing.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

I am willing to be an unabashed fan of this movie. It is great.Of all the great love stories that I have seen in movies and in plays, I can't think of a story that has spoken to me more intensely than Brokeback. Ever since rewatching it a few days ago, I have been playing back the scene when Jack says "Sometimes I miss you so much that I can hardly stand it" over and over again. It's just that good.Tragic. Tender. Terrifyingly beautiful. From the natural beauty of Wyoming to its rural poverty, the American West has never seemed more full of brutality or love.One of the great love stories of our time, Brokeback should be relevant for far more than the "gay cowboy" closet.(I have seen this several times, most recently on June 22, 2017)
