Romeo & juliet of the 21st Century. Absolutely brilliant! I think some people just don`t "get it".
I absolutely loved this movie and would see it again. Acting was wonderful and the subject matter covered very sensitively. Very moving and memorable.
This film is being promoted by the East Coast set merely for the obvious political reasons. What they need to do is to create one that is not so long and so boring and that does not involve cheating and then try to promote that. This film will get all the usual awards for all the usual wrong reasons.
It would really touch you, i rate it 5 stars hands down, geat story, great actors, great direction and cinematography. A must see movie
This is the most beautiful and yet gut-wrenching film I have seen in years. I have seen it three times, and each time it has brought me to tears and left me totally wrung out - that such a rare and tremendous passion between two people must be doomed by their circumstances. An incredible job by both Heath and Jake, masterfully directed by Ang Lee.
I`ve seen it twice already and will probably go again. The best movie that I`ve seen in a long time. Every aspect of the movie is amazing from the writing to the acting and it`s visually stunning to watch!!!
I`ve seen the movie 7 times and I loved it each time. It is the most emotionally provoking movie I have seen-EVER. It is powerfully played by two gifted actors (Heath and Jake) who made the movie what is is, and I could not think of who could portray Ennis and Jack so well. Ang Lee direction has put Brokeback Mountian in a catagory all on it`s own. Beautiful.
Is a wonderful film, created and presented with dignity and respect, with the God`s blessing.
WOW, what a tragedy! A powerful love story with a twist! Made you think of it for a good while afterwords! Very Sad!
best ever I have seen in a loong time.
Omg excellent movie soooo goood.....sad in the end though
very touching, I was moved by it.. given the "times" and what is expected... I came away, feeling a lot of remorse, well worth the money spent.
I went with my boyfriend on valentines day.Usually i`m the one grabbing his arm during frightening scenes in a movie.This time he was holding on to my arm and had his eyes covered during certain scenes.On the whole my date with him was great but I doubt he enjoyed the movie.I`ll make it up to him on SBB day -Tracey, Toronto
If you saw this movie and thought "What a great love story", then seek help now. The relationship shared by the main characters is so disfunctional and abusive, not to mention destructive to themselves and their families, that I am amazed that people can call this film touching. Beautiful mountains, ugly, ugly relationship. Am I the only one who thought Ledger sounded like Billy Bob Thornton in Sling Blade?
Too bad this one didn`t ride off into the sunset. Stretch me between 2 horses if I ever make this dumb a mistake again. Yeee...iks.
I LOVED IT! THE MOST CONVINCING LOVE STORY I HAVE SEEN ON FILM. EXCELLENT CASTING.
this movie was awesome, to all the people that comment about this movie thank you. to all straight girls and guys watching this movie was very impressive but some people that complaint about this movie that is very disgusting or waste of money and so on I cant blame each one of you but thats all your opinion and decision. im gay and i was so scared to tell my mother about my sexuality and to tell people about me and i realize that it wasnt that bad to accept who we are. i dont care what people think or do unless i did something to them. as a gay person i do respect every single people that comment about this movie if you dont like it thats fi
loved it loved it loved it, and i just really loved it, i dont care what anyone else say i just loved it
Loved it!!! Sometimes hard to watch but it was truly a story about forbidden love. Very emotional. In fairness to the audience there should have been information given in the previews about the nature of the love story.
Over hype
It was beautiful and so well done that I cried.
in 25 years if they come out with a movie like this about a man and woman will it be as shocking? i hope not.
Give me a break....this is a poor excuse for a love story...two forgetable and weak characters giving in to their penchant for homosexual romps while deceiving their families and themselves.... if they were hetrosexuals doing the same type of thing we would be far less sympathetic.....I am not buying into the Hollywood hype... it was a big disappointment...
I loved it! What a great film, depicting the struggle gay men in the 60s, 70s and 80s had to go through in the face of an unaccepting society. The acting was superb and the cinematography was gorgeous. I definately deserves a number of Oscars, especially Best Picture.
Tragic love story...Made you feel desperate and anxious, hoping their love could keep them together not through the time but through the place...Watched it once, will not watch it again...heart-breaking...
The only people who would enjoy this movie are gay. Cannot believe this movie would ever be nominated for anything.
A bad movie about two men who turn their own bodies into putrid sewers and cheat as well.
Excellent movie! I was very pleasantly surprised!
I thought this was a wonderful movie about the life long deep friendship that developed. If only everyone could have that happen more than once.
It was a hard watch at first...but I couldn`t leave, I had to see it through. I`m a little disappointed that Heath had to mumble, makes it look as if dumb people are easily pulled into gay relationships. They take you through some real emotions...roller coaster ride. It brought up many feelings, not only feelings of gay`s hiding their loves, but many racial resentments that still exist today...the fear, the torture, the ridicule that some minorities must face each and every day. Very emotional movie. I`m glad I saw it...but don`t know that I will ever see it again...by way of renting or buying a CD.
This is one of the most powerful movies that has been made in many years about a relationship gay or straight. I don`t see Ennis or Jack as being selfish in marrying women. They did this because this is what society said they must do. Being afraid of societal opinions can lead many people to do things that make them unhappy,particularly when they are still young and very impressionable. This movie was not slow or boring. It developed the relation ship gradually in a suspended in time sort of way that comes to an abrut end when they have to face the real world and it`s consequences.They thought it was just one of those things in their past so
I THOUGHT THE MOVIE WAS A FANTASTIC LOVE STORY. THE ACTING WAS GREAT AND THE SURROUNDINGS WERE BEAUTIFUL. I`D RECOMMENED IT TO EVERYBODY AND TELL THEM TO SEE IT WITH AN OPEN MIND.
I found it very intense and awsome drama for it makes you think how love can be hard to have even if it`s the only thing you want
It is terrible that the GAY content is not mentioned in any previews, It`s a nice Hollywood trick, the Alberta scenes were good but I am not interested in watching two guys make out.. it is not old thinking but I HAVE RIGHTS TOO...I choose not to watch this garbage so please do not trick more people. BAD MOVIE Tom L. Vancouver BC
it was ok and very true how it is wish we could hear what they were saying some of the time the places the shout the movie was ossome
heath and jake...end of story
The acting was good, but the plot was not! It was essentially about 2 people who fell in love , married other people and cheated while they were married. The homosexuality didn`t bother me , but the cheating did.
Im sorry but were all of you people drunk when you saw this movie. IT WAS AWEFUL the gayness didnt bug me it was just a bad movie the plot sucks, you can understand half the words they are saying. I dont know how it got any oscar nominations. MVP Most Valuable Primate was better then this movie.....
A great movie about 2 people in love and what they endure to make it last. Their love stands the test of society`s backwards thinking, that still lingers unfortunatly today. It is groundbreaking to finally see other depictions of different kinds of love on the big screen, making people realize there are many people in the world that can find a love so strong nothing can take it away. It is admirable that this type of film will open the doors to so many people who live in a similar situation, that we should be accepting of everybody and their beliefs, because everyone should be able to love without shame.
This movie was incredible. I myself, being a straight male, 19 years old, decided to view this with an open mind. It is an amazing tale of how love should not be confined to such borders as age, race, or even gender. What we need is a movie like this, to shake up culture. Love should not be confined by body. It is a joining of souls.
