Brokeback Mountain


Yes, it's primarily known as the movie that inspired a million "gay cowboy" jokes, but Lee's heartbreaking drama deserves so much better. In 1963, cowhands Ennis (Ledger) and Jack (Gyllenhaal) spend the summer watching over a herd of sheep on a Wyoming mountain range and falling deeply and inexplicably in love. Terrified to admit their feelings to the outside world, Ennis and Jack try to ignore their passions by getting married to aloof women (Williams and Hathaway) and only meeting for semi-annual fishing trips. The script blends the powerful western themes of "Lonesome Dove" with a classic tragic love tale, and Ledger's outstanding lead performance carries the picture.

Ang Lee Does It Again
criddic2 at 2010-04-01 02:54:51
The director of "Eat Drink Man Woman" (1994), "Sense and Sensibility" (1995) and "The Ice Storm" (1997) has delivered a moving - even heartbreaking- tale of love that cannot be fulfilled. The performances are uniformly solid, with particularly worthy turns by Ledger and Gyllenhaal.

This is the best romantic drama that I've ever seen. Heath Ledger will be missed!
