Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Brokeback Mountain is a sweeping epic that explores the lives of two young men, a ranch hand and a rodeo cowboy, who meet in the summer of 1963 and unexpectedly forge a lifelong connection. The complications, joys and heartbreak they experience provide a testament to the endurance and power of love. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal deliver emotionally charged, remarkably moving performances in "a movie that is destined to become one of the great classics of our time" (Clay Smith, The Insider).
Review:
"Brokeback Mountain is that rare thing, a big Hollywood weeper with a beautiful ache at its center. It's a modern-age Western that turns into a quietly revolutionary love story. (Grade: A)" Entertainment Weekly
Review:
"The filmmakers have focused so intently and with such feeling on Jack and Ennis that the movie is as observant as work by Bergman." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Review:
"Annie Proulx's heartbreaking story of two cowboys who fall in love has been faithfully translated onto the screen in Ang Lee's landmark film." Stephen Holden, The New York Times
Review:
"The reason to see Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain, and see it you should, isn't its hot-button topicality or its cultural cachet but simply that it's a very good movie, with a staggeringly fine performance by Heath Ledger." Boston Globe
Review:
"It's a deeply felt, emotional love story that deals with the uncharted, mysterious ways of the human heart just as so many mainstream films have before it. The two lovers here just happen to be men." Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
Review:
"Brokeback Mountain takes great pains to be a compassionate love story; but the filmmaking itself, self-consciously restrained and desiccated, is inert and inexpressive." Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Review:
"Ang Lee's unmissable and unforgettable Brokeback Mountain hits you like a shot in the heart. It's a landmark film and a triumph for Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal." Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Review:
"For all its brave beginnings and real achievements — its assault on western mythology, its discovery of a subversive sexual honesty in an unexpected locale — Brokeback Mountain finally fails to fully engage our emotions." Richard Schickel, Time Magazine

This film is grand. Don't make the foolish mistake of thinking you can't enjoy and love this film if you're a straight dude. It's just about as tragically romantic as a story can get and it's beautiful through and through. If you don't get the widescreen version, you are cheating yourself, specifically your eyeballs. The cinematic grandeur must be experienced in full, otherwise your life will be full of regret. Don't live that way.
