Probably my favorite movie of all time. It's such a special and tragic story, gets me every time I watch it.

Brokeback Mountain was okay... The storytelling wasn't very compelling, you're just watching things unfold on-screen. The very start of the relationship didn't seem very realistic to me, I can't imagine that sort of thing just happening when they've been brought up in a society where that sort of behaviour would be stigmatised, to say the least. They don't even have any chemistry or connection really, they just happened to be lonely and circumstances brought them together. I mean, sure, their relationship's complicated and there's a lot of things left unsaid, but really, for the first summer, it was just a physical relationship with the added benefit of comfort. Jack's only hung up on him because it's the first such relationship he's ever had – it could have been anybody really – and they only became much closer later on because of nostalgia goggles and a lack of responsibilities when together. I liked that it was subtle in showing things, but I just didn't really care in the end. The wives were far more sympathetic characters than either of their husbands. I guess I can see why people might really enjoy the movie if they actually cared about the relationship, but I can't help but feel like a lot of the praise is solely because of the subject matter.

I wish I knew how to quit you.

Everytime i watch this movie, i feel like i can die happy.

Really wonderful movie.
For once we see two guys in love where the movie doesn't shove gay stereotypes down our throats. The characters are realistic and the story is really emotional.

Heath was truly an exceptional actor.

This really is a sad movie. Heath Ledger is awesome in this movie. Love is love, painful and even more difficult for those who are gay: opportunities missed.... so sad and so great.

A very moving and tragic love story. Beautifully shot with fantastic performances from Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger.

This movie touched me in such a special way, I don’t know what to write

I wish I know how to quit you :'(

So fucking wonderful. I miss Heath :(

The quietness of this film seeps through you. At first it makes Ennis and Jack's relationship all the more genuine and moving, the way they can sit in silence up in the mountains and their actions of love are more electrifying than any lengthy, love-declaration filled dialogue could ever be. By the end, though, that quietness has transformed into soul-crushing loneliness, that which comes from living an entire life denied of the freedom to love the only person who completes you.

Brokeback is and will always be groundbreaking and, to this day, after decades of good LGBT+ cinema (boosted by this movie itself), it is still one of the very best, if not the best well-rounded characterisation of human sentiment in general, and queer experience in particular, to be seen on screen.
