Ang Lee's adaptation of E. Annie Proulx's story Brokeback Mountain stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger as young cowboys named Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar. Each of them is hired to corral sheep on the title location and they soon bond very closely.

Although the two follow different life paths -- one becoming a father of two and the other marrying into a successful business -- they have a reunion years later. Each is affected profoundly by the rekindling of their old feelings for each other. Those feelings lead each to consider what continuing their hidden relationship would cost them. The screenplay was written by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

John A.

An offbeat movie about an unlikely relationship. Low key, well acted, nice scenery. A bit lacking in credibility in certain ways, but above average overall. After having read the reviews, I came away with two impressions. First, the people (usually males) who were "grossed out" by the (rather limited) physical scenes. What did you think you were renting? Mary Poppins? Second, there's just way too much "analysis" surrounding this movie. If it seems remotely interesting to you and you're not completely shallow, just try it. It's just a movie! You may like it or you may not. It's not a big deal! Oh, and forget it if you are looking for titillation. You'll be bored. It's not pornographic!

To be honest it took me nearly 4 years to finally watch this movie based on the content,but after Heath Ledger's tragic death I wanted to see all his movies and if you can get past the sexual scenes, It has a interesting story and If your a homophob dont see it but it is better than expected
