“We could’ve had a good life together, fuckin real good life! Had us a place of our own. But you-didn’t-want-it Ennis. So what we’ve got now is BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN!!!” That line always gives me chills.
Some how this movie lived up too and also completely surpassed my expectations from the shallow commentary it gets from pop culture. They gloss over the message of the film but its small moments like that which i think made it had such a big impact. “ BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN !! “ , “ I wish I knew how to quit you “ , “ Jack Nasty “ , “ Jack , I swear …” . All such simple lines but delivered to say so much
Sometimes you love someone the way that you are beathless thinking about they but they have wondering eye and you just can't believe they will change for anyone. That scene is powerful!!!
Above all else, this was a love story. And we all have felt that emotional attachment that we just cannot release ourselves from even when we know the best thing to do is to “quit” and leave. Ang Lee, the director of “Brokeback Mountain”, deserved that Academy Award. His direction got the best out of Ledger and Gyllenhaal. This was a brilliant movie!
Sadly we all haven’t had love in our lives. I certainly haven’t and at the age I am, I can’t see it coming. Love in a repressive environment certainly seems more poignant. Finding a love then as compared to now, when it’s swipe left or right and on to the next, had real meaning, or that’s how it feels,
I had an unhealthy friendship for nearly 30 years with a straight guy ( I am a gay man and as such my love for him was unrequited ) and on numerous occasions I said to myself ‘ I wish I knew how to quit x ‘. Well in the end I did quit him . That was over 2 years ago and is still painful but I am glad I did it
If you have ever been closeted and in a relationship like this, you truly know the pain of both of these men. Can't ever watch this movie again. Was too difficult to watch the first time. Superb acting.
True, but to me this movie is a hymn to our lives as gay men too. The respect, the poetic resolve, the claustrophobic feeling of not having a real choice different from leaving, the sadness, and the glorious beauty of all this, is all there. I love this movie even it is so painful to watch. I no longer feel ashame to shed tears.

Growing up I always heard that this was the “gay cowboy” movie so I wrote it off as probably being something corny and not for me. I gave it a watch recently, and was floored at how much this movie resonated with me. I felt that Ennis was me; a man who never truly knew himself or how to express himself to others, except one lover he could never be with. A beautifully heart wrenching movie. I will never forget it.
In the fan artist community, there had been many redraws of the "ennis wife saw him kissing jack from inside the house" as the gay cowboy meme. Same as you, I thought this movie is just corny and packed with comedy, what I got was slow paced, full of longing and regret and grief. Ennis is such a relatable representation of that fear and misery. As years progress, the public may be more accepting but not everyone comes from a very accepting family. I don't wanna end up like Ennis and I keep that close to my heart
I mean, it will always be the 'gay cowboy movie', but that's like saying Dune is that 'sandy sci-fi movie'. Doesn't make it wrong and doesn't make it bad.
Heath and Jake were just superb in this film and for them to have such great on-screen romantic and sexual chemistry given their true sexual orientations is testimonial as to how good they are/were as actors.
Imagine loving someone so deeply, you didn't plan it but you feel home with them , and it hurts other people in your life to live your truth in front of them. I can't understand why some people don't just accept that people can love each other even if they are the same gender, if you don't like it , it's ok , if it's hard to comprehend, it's ok , its not your life , look the other way and let them be
Believe it or not it happened to straight ppl all the time where friends family other ppl just don't want you to be with the person your heart desires and your absolutely right it's nobody's business everyone should be able to choose and be with the one they love
@@Freverprincesshow are both situations comparable?

Nobody has to accept anyone’s choices. they can choose to not want to be around it or associated with it. People should stop trying to forced acceptance on others. As long as they aren’t disrespecting you/them, where’s the problem.
I know exactly how this feels. At 60 years old now, I look back and remember and wish I could change things. Now, it's done and gone, and I ain't young no more.
You're never too old for love. Just be open for the possibility and get out there and meet people. A good friend of mine just met someone they say they love more than any previous boyfriend. He just turned 60, so there truly is no cut off age for love...

60 is NOT old! There are people older than you going back to school, a good friends grandfather went to Law school in his mid 70s, it was his lifetime dream, graduated most beloved in his class. There are people older than you, well into their 80s falling in love, I hear these stories all the time, you just have to be open to it. Please don’t let numbers stop you from what could be! Sending hugs and a nudge telling you to get out there!
I just can’t imagine 2 men trying to be together, to love each other, to yearn for each other the way these 2 did. My husband and I cried when we saw this film in a theater. The story reminded me somewhat of the first man I fell in love with. It’s strange, but one time when we spent a long weekend together and he had to fly back to where he was living, when I returned back home after dropping him off at the airport, that night when I undressed and opened my closet door, hanging on a hanger was the jacket he wore the weekend I admired. There was a note in its pocket. I cried a lot that night. I know this sounds made up, but when I saw the film my mouth was hanging open. I couldn’t believe it. The man I fell in love with so long ago passed away unexpectedly. Leukemia took him. I didn’t think I’d ever make it out of the grief I felt. Until a few years later when just by chance, a handsome guy tapped my shoulder. He introduced himself, then after some chit chat asked if he could buy me a drink. That was 34 years ago. Back then I thought I’d never find the guy I was meant to be with. I know how lucky I was.
I had a similar situation happen in 87. I met a man and fell madly in love with him, it was my first adult romance. I got pregnant quickly. After 6 months he had orders to transfer away, 2 months after our son would be born. He was in intelligence in the military. We were only 20. He was with me my whole pregnancy, during and after. The next 6 weeks flew by and the night before he left, we stayed up all night. Making love, then holding our son, until we said goodbye and that we really would try to do long distance. We tried. They kept sending him overseas and there was no cell phones in 1988. We agreed thru tears, that it wasn't working. He encouraged me to find love, but my love was him and my son. I was devastated and cried so much. After 8 months I met a friend of a friend, a guy who came over and was unassuming. After my birthday party he stayed and helped clean up, held my son and suddenly I felt sparks. We kissed that night then from that next day on, we were inseparable. It was not as passionate as my son's dad, but a deep love and chemistry it was, just different. He adored my son. My ex approved and said "He sounds like a helluva guy". We got married 2 years later, had a boy, and life was good. My son's biological dad died in 2011. I was so sad, and I was supported by my husband. My son grieved too, we lived states apart but they were always face timing before he died. In 2021 I lost my son at age 33, and his stepdad died 10 days later. Broken heart syndrome they said 😢. I deeply grieve all 3 of them. I'll never love like I did those men. Brokeback Mountain is a love story that is all too real, the emotions are raw, doesn't matter if they're gay or not. It hit the audience right and I cried so hard at the end, I swear I couldn't watch it now, I have my son's clothes with his scent on it. Grief just means you loved hard 💔 😢
The length of this movie is what I’ve heard people complain about, but that’s its beauty. It mirrors the long suffering desire that is never fulfilled. I cried both times I watched it.
Ahhhh I need to rewatch this one…memories of going to see it alone to a movie theater 20 miles from my house so I wouldn’t run into anybody I knew… seeing it in a packed movie theater was unforgettable…
tell please how everyone reacted to the tent scene, the hard kiss scene, and if you can point out some that audience reacted to feel free, it would be interesting to know
This role had sooooooooo much more importance than his role as joker. It makes me wonder if this one was more the reason why his life was cut so short. We will never know if there was a cover up.
2:32 The way Ennis gives Jack that warning, seemingly angry but with an underlying sense of dread and fear for something happening to Jack… little subtle details of an amazing performance… 🥺
The reason why this is such a tragic movie and so heartbreaking is that this story happened all over the world, right up to quite recently, and especially in the 1960’s when it was set. And this is still happening now in many parts of the world. Forbidden love so deep that they can’t quit each other, even though the death penalty hangs over them. This really is the most heartbreaking movie I’ve ever seen.
True to so many forms, of sexual orientation, and segregation, it's just so sad that people ever think it's okay to stop love that isn't hurting anyone.
As a gay man.. I never thought that I could see to handsome straight guys play two gay lovers and for it to be believable. This is one of her best movies made… I have had a relationship like this before and it is hard… this makes me cry every time I watch it.
@@Haggiedc2 it’s also quite sad that Hollywood and the media in general can’t caste ‘normal looking’ guys in gay roles. Why are homosexual men always handsome types, and not short fat bald guys or whatever. We all aren’t models ! Is society incapable of believing two plain men could ever fall in love with each other ?
@@nichotto Well… I do believe that attractiveness is based on a person’s preferences… however, I do see your point. I think this particular movie was cast perfectly with the whole “cowboy” thing… I think the real issues is not diversity of those on the screen, I think it is lack of diversity of the stories being told. I have worked in entertainment, done swimsuit modeling, competed etc… so I worked hard my “looks”… so my question to you… what stories can be told about 2 short, fat, bald, guy??? If it is a quality story with quality actors I would watch it….. next question… name the two actors… and I am there for it…LOLOL… I see your point
it's quite hypocritical since i hear " straight acting" is the hot thing in gay communities . i wonder : those two actors did not play gay they just played being in love and made me believe it ,but isn't a "straight acting" gay man actually a liar ???
I saw this movie in NYC with my then boyfriend at the theater. It hit me different after 20 years of heartache and the ups and down of being a gay man in this world.
I saw this movie whenit first came out and vowed I'd never be able to watch it again. It brought up cellar deep emotions about unfullfilled love... and I use love to mean that comes from the soul out to the universe....that is a part of my life and memory.
The director Ang Lee is so good at telling tragic love stories. Between this and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, you can see his artistic eye for that unyielding yearning in romance that we've all experienced.
Omg i remember watching this movie as a teen secretly in my room in 2008, I cant believe its been that long. Btw he was right, they could have had a good life together somehow, and face all the challenges together, but again those were dangerous times, heck like I said even I had to watch this movie secretly and it was already our times
This film's a masterpiece on so many levels. Among the top reasons is Heath Ledger. As stellar as the rest of the cast was, the way Ledger communicated Ennis' pain takes my breath away.
This movie broke my heart. I could never, ever watch it again after the first time. In the last scene, when Ennis cried into the blue shirt Jack had worn ... my heart burst with the pain of it all for so many who don't get to live the life they deserve. And sweet Heath, gone so young. Made this movie unbearable.
One of my favorite movies ❤. Even as a straight woman, it relates to me on so many levels. The pain of relationships and the wanting of something you cannot have. I still cry everytime I watch this movie.
_Remember this was 1963. (You'd think it would have been Ennis Del Sol's character that would have gotten him into trouble, but in the end, it was Jack Twist). Honestly, from a cinematic casting point, the movie has so many greats from Anne Hathaway to Michelle Williams, and of course Jake Gyllenhaal, and Heath Ledger. Still one of my most favorite films ever._
I'm a straight man who is a horror movie addict, I always thought this movie was just a gay cowboy movie and wasn't interested in watching it. I tell yeah, it broke my fucking heart. Fantastic film.
The way Ennis just desperately clings to Jack absolutely breaks my heart. He does love him. He does genuinely want to be with him. But that love is not stronger than the irrational but understandable fear and trauma that his father placed upon him. And it's just beyond painful to think about what these two could have had in terms of a life together if Ennis' love had been stronger than his fear. And of course, if circumstances had been different in terms of gay people being able to be together.
Ennis is such a tragic character. Jack wishes the world would accept him for who he is.. Ennis wishes he wasn't the way he is. There's something extra sad and lonely about the denial his character lives in
my favorite scene. you can seen heath's kindness shining through his eyes, and they really embody a couple that's truly meant to be together. in this scene especially you can feel how they're one another's person.
For some reason I didn't see BBM when it first came out, although I had read the short story a few years earlier and loved it. But I happened upon it a month or 2 ago on HBO. It just about ripped my guts out. Being a movie buff, I guess I've seen just about every "great" movie out there - dramas, comedies, musicals, tragedies - at some point, but no movie affected me as much as this one. Over the next month and a half, 2 months I've watched it 9 times. With each viewing, I find something new - a subtle mannerism, the look in someone's eyes. I've gotten to the point where I can anticipate the 4 or 5 scenes that make me cry like a little baby and the tears begin to well up. There isn't a less-than-excellent performance by any actor, but Heath Ledger's made the movie. (What might have been...) How he lost the Oscar to Hoffmann's "impressions" of Truman Capote I just don't get. And how the movie lost to the hackneyed Crash baffles me just as much. (Actually I do know - Hollywood just loooves Capote's phony schtick and Crash's ending was all "neatly resolved," along with its studio spending millions on PR.) And, oh, that original score by Santaolalla. BBM was one of the greatest movies of all times - and let's not conflate great with the "spectacle" of a Cleopatra - one of the worst movies of all times. And Ledger's performance was as well.
Same here and I"m about to turn 70. There is never an age for love. You can meet your love early on in your 20s or in your 80s. The only time you cannot is when you are dead. So look up and be optimistic, and know that your time is perhaps still to come.
Herzlichen Dank fürs Hochladen. Es kommt alles wieder zurück. Der Schmerz. Die Verzweiflung. Der Herzriss. 💔 Dennoch bleibt ein tiefer Frieden, den nur diese Geschichte, bzw. dieser Film überträgt. 😢💌
Love is love. I'm glad people do not have to hide or be ashamed to be with someone. Nobody should have to. If it works, then you hang onto it. Because our biggest enemy is time.
I have a friend in high school that I was infatuated with but didn't tell him because I didn't want to ruin our friendship. Even today we're friends. I had a feeling he knew how I felt about him and after years he said he considered me as his brother. From then on I kinda lost interest because he considered me a "brother" instead of a "friend". I didn't feel much closer as I once did.
This is a very emotional and tragic love story between 2 men in early America. Its an Ang Lee masterpiece and I have to prepare to be emotionally drained whenever I decide to watch this movie from beginning to end....
This movie was used by bullies to make homophobic jokes when I was in middle school. Since then I never bothered watching it. After discovering myself as a gay person, I finally watched it. Now I wish I had watched sooner. Because it would've make accepting myself much easier later on.
I worked at Blockbuster when this was released on dvd. A middle-aged woman came in and asked me, "What's the best romantic movie you have right now?" I took her over to where we had Brokeback Mountain on display. She gave me a disgusted look and said, "eww, no thank you." I can't remember what she ended up renting instead, but it was definitely NOT the best romantic movie at the time.
Probably the most beautiful movie ever made. It told the story that many like jack and ennis had to live. all the way through history and even still today
Der Film ist doch jetzt sage und schreibe fast 20 Jahre alt. Dennoch kommt es mir vor, wie wenn es gestern gewesen wäre. Diese Geschichte hat nichts von ihrer ursprünglichen Ausstrahlungskraft verloren. ImGegenteil, sie wird mit jedem Tag besser. 😊
This one of those movies that I felt was objectively a great movie. Well acted, true to life dialogue, and characters having relatable human struggles. But as great as I thought it was, I could never bring myself to watch a second time. It was so well acted that Jack Twists death was like seeing my brother get killed.
oh no! 😢 i guess if i ever watch this, i’ll weep like i did for tristan’s demise in LotF. i’ve never been able to bring myself to watch this one, though curiosity might get the better of me because i really love anything jake gyllenhaal. 😍
Any “guy”, that watches this and think it’s just a “gay cowboy film” missed the whole point. This was a very well acted film with a good storyline. It wasn’t really bout 2 gay men. It was bout 2 great actors portraying 2 characters with a great script, that just happened to be bout 2 cowboys who were gay.
I feel bad for them, but I also felt worse for their wives. Imagine being married to someone who’s not sexually attracted to you, doesn’t love you, and wants to be with someone else. My unpopular opinion
It is sad. It hurts being the person who isn’t attracted to them. I was that person once. I was so deep in denial, I couldn’t understand why I didn’t want my ex boyfriend. I kept thinking I could fix it somehow. then I met a girl. I felt things I had never felt before and I slowly began to realize I could never fix it. it was just the way I was. My ex knew I wasn’t attracted to him. we would argue about it. I never meant to hurt him, I was just so terrified to accept who I was. Expecting gay people to repress themselves hurts so many people, not just us. people have to be free to be who they are.
I never watched it back in the days i seen it recently and i was flabbergasted by this Beautiful movie tragic story and total masterpiece. I couldn't get it out of my head for days and days. it's one of the best movies ive ever seen omg

The next 6 weeks flew by and the night before he left, we stayed up all night. Making love, then holding our son, until we said goodbye and that we really would try to do long distance. We tried. They kept sending him overseas and there was no cell phones in 1988. We agreed thru tears, that it wasn't working. He encouraged me to find love, but my love was him and my son. I was devastated and cried so much. After 8 months I met a friend of a friend, a guy who came over and was unassuming. After my birthday party he stayed and helped clean up, held my son and suddenly I felt sparks. We kissed that night then from that next day on, we were inseparable. It was not as passionate as my son's dad, but a deep love and chemistry it was, just different. He adored my son. My ex approved and said "He sounds like a helluva guy". We got married 2 years later, had a boy, and life was good. My son's biological dad died in 2011. I was so sad, and I was supported by my husband. My son grieved too, we lived states apart but they were always face timing before he died. In 2021 I lost my son at age 33, and his stepdad died 10 days later. Broken heart syndrome they said 😢. I deeply grieve all 3 of them. I'll never love like I did those men. Brokeback Mountain is a love story that is all too real, the emotions are raw, doesn't matter if they're gay or not. It hit the audience right and I cried so hard at the end, I swear I couldn't watch it now, I have my son's clothes with his scent on it. Grief just means you loved hard 💔 😢
@@mstea3232oh my gosh im so sorry for all your losses. you are so strong.
@@mstea3232I weep reading your story. Thank you for sharing it. You must miss them so much. ❤
The length of this movie is what I’ve heard people complain about, but that’s its beauty. It mirrors the long suffering desire that is never fulfilled. I cried both times I watched it.
Ahhhh I need to rewatch this one…memories of going to see it alone to a movie theater 20 miles from my house so I wouldn’t run into anybody I knew… seeing it in a packed movie theater was unforgettable…
😂
Oh wow must of been crazy
😅
tell please how everyone reacted to the tent scene, the hard kiss scene, and if you can point out some that audience reacted to feel free, it would be interesting to know
Well damn😂
I always love this line. "Its because of you I'm like this. I'm nothing, I'm nowhere"
pain.
Rest in peace Heath Ledger!
He was a great and talented actor. R.I.P. ❤️💐
😞
This role had sooooooooo much more importance than his role as joker. It makes me wonder if this one was more the reason why his life was cut so short. We will never know if there was a cover up.
his performance in this STILL blows my mind...
Its such a shame that we didn't get to see more of his work.
2:32 The way Ennis gives Jack that warning, seemingly angry but with an underlying sense of dread and fear for something happening to Jack… little subtle details of an amazing performance… 🥺
“I wish I knew how to Quit You”
Just Epic 😢
Yep. I feel like we can all relate to that in some way!
The reason why this is such a tragic movie and so heartbreaking is that this story happened all over the world, right up to quite recently, and especially in the 1960’s when it was set. And this is still happening now in many parts of the world. Forbidden love so deep that they can’t quit each other, even though the death penalty hangs over them.
This really is the most heartbreaking movie I’ve ever seen.
True to so many forms, of sexual orientation, and segregation, it's just so sad that people ever think it's okay to stop love that isn't hurting anyone.
This movie was ahead of its time
Maybe way behind it’s time.
More like started its time
"I wish I knew how to quit you" really resonates with me. Except it's how I feel about McDonald's and ice cream.
О да 😢
4 me it's daall purie and duck curry lol
Yeah, but i leave McDonald's after i read what happened in Gaza.
Hahahaha i see u
😂😂
It's one of those movies you watch once and then again and then again and each time it's as fresh as the first time. That's the sign of a great movie.
И такой же разбивающий сердце, как в первый раз.
the acting here is just next level good
As a gay man.. I never thought that I could see to handsome straight guys play two gay lovers and for it to be believable. This is one of her best movies made… I have had a relationship like this before and it is hard… this makes me cry every time I watch it.
@@Haggiedc2 it’s also quite sad that Hollywood and the media in general can’t caste ‘normal looking’ guys in gay roles. Why are homosexual men always handsome types, and not short fat bald guys or whatever. We all aren’t models ! Is society incapable of believing two plain men could ever fall in love with each other ?
@@nichotto Well… I do believe that attractiveness is based on a person’s preferences… however, I do see your point. I think this particular movie was cast perfectly with the whole “cowboy” thing… I think the real issues is not diversity of those on the screen, I think it is lack of diversity of the stories being told. I have worked in entertainment, done swimsuit modeling, competed etc… so I worked hard my “looks”… so my question to you… what stories can be told about 2 short, fat, bald, guy??? If it is a quality story with quality actors I would watch it….. next question… name the two actors… and I am there for it…LOLOL… I see your point
I’m so sorry for the pain ❤
@@Haggiedc2interesting ❤❤
it's quite hypocritical since i hear " straight acting" is the hot thing in gay communities . i wonder : those two actors did not play gay they just played being in love and made me believe it ,but isn't a "straight acting" gay man actually a liar ???
Still one of the best goddamn movies in existence.
Deserved an oscar
Crazy it didnt win the oscar
Still holds up after all these years. Superb acting, dialogue and directing.
It's a huge gift from God if you have a loved one to get old with, many many people don't have them including me.
I always wanna rewatch this movie but I cried so badly the first time. I’ll just watch these clips in the meantime
Dope movie tho 😅
Me too! Brought up so many emotions from my past ! Brings me to tears!
I saw this movie in NYC with my then boyfriend at the theater. It hit me different after 20 years of heartache and the ups and down of being a gay man in this world.
You just made me tear
I saw this movie whenit first came out and vowed I'd never be able to watch it again. It brought up cellar deep emotions about unfullfilled love... and I use love to mean that comes from the soul out to the universe....that is a part of my life and memory.
Heath Andrew Ledger (4 April 1979 - 22 January 2008). May his memory be a blessing.
The director Ang Lee is so good at telling tragic love stories. Between this and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, you can see his artistic eye for that unyielding yearning in romance that we've all experienced.
Omg i remember watching this movie as a teen secretly in my room in 2008, I cant believe its been that long.
Btw he was right, they could have had a good life together somehow, and face all the challenges together, but again those were dangerous times, heck like I said even I had to watch this movie secretly and it was already our times
I’ve always loved that flashback scene with Jack “sleeping on his feet like a horse”.. 😭😭
I will never forget the cinematography in this movie. Even on this clip. It was stunning.
This film's a masterpiece on so many levels. Among the top reasons is Heath Ledger. As stellar as the rest of the cast was, the way Ledger communicated Ennis' pain takes my breath away.
One of my favorite films of all time. Simplistic, the stunning rich wilderness, the love story…easy to watch easy to absorb…
This movie broke my heart. I could never, ever watch it again after the first time. In the last scene, when Ennis cried into the blue shirt Jack had worn ... my heart burst with the pain of it all for so many who don't get to live the life they deserve.
And sweet Heath, gone so young. Made this movie unbearable.
One of my favorite movies ❤. Even as a straight woman, it relates to me on so many levels. The pain of relationships and the wanting of something you cannot have. I still cry everytime I watch this movie.
What fearless fucking actors. Absolutely one of the best films I have ever seen.
Love is Love and this movie makes a human cry rivers.. it's an universal love story. one of the best ❤
Lol
you are stunning bianca 😍
@@rogdawg123from eastender
_Remember this was 1963. (You'd think it would have been Ennis Del Sol's character that would have gotten him into trouble, but in the end, it was Jack Twist). Honestly, from a cinematic casting point, the movie has so many greats from Anne Hathaway to Michelle Williams, and of course Jake Gyllenhaal, and Heath Ledger. Still one of my most favorite films ever._
By here it was the 80’s
I'm a straight man who is a horror movie addict, I always thought this movie was just a gay cowboy movie and wasn't interested in watching it. I tell yeah, it broke my fucking heart. Fantastic film.
I love this movie...Jake and Heath were just incredible. I felt their pain.
The way Ennis just desperately clings to Jack absolutely breaks my heart. He does love him. He does genuinely want to be with him.
But that love is not stronger than the irrational but understandable fear and trauma that his father placed upon him. And it's just beyond painful to think about what these two could have had in terms of a life together if Ennis' love had been stronger than his fear. And of course, if circumstances had been different in terms of gay people being able to be together.
"There's just never enough time never" when you can't be with the one you love but try so hard to be 😮💨😭💔
Gay, bisexual, straight whatever this is a great movie.
Ennis is such a tragic character. Jack wishes the world would accept him for who he is.. Ennis wishes he wasn't the way he is. There's something extra sad and lonely about the denial his character lives in
The way Ang Lee weaves this movies was just so beyond me
Why does this still bring me to tears...
Probably because it is sad ...
my favorite scene. you can seen heath's kindness shining through his eyes, and they really embody a couple that's truly meant to be together. in this scene especially you can feel how they're one another's person.
Love can be so painful. One of my favourite films.
For some reason I didn't see BBM when it first came out, although I had read the short story a few years earlier and loved it. But I happened upon it a month or 2 ago on HBO. It just about ripped my guts out. Being a movie buff, I guess I've seen just about every "great" movie out there - dramas, comedies, musicals, tragedies - at some point, but no movie affected me as much as this one. Over the next month and a half, 2 months I've watched it 9 times. With each viewing, I find something new - a subtle mannerism, the look in someone's eyes. I've gotten to the point where I can anticipate the 4 or 5 scenes that make me cry like a little baby and the tears begin to well up. There isn't a less-than-excellent performance by any actor, but Heath Ledger's made the movie. (What might have been...) How he lost the Oscar to Hoffmann's "impressions" of Truman Capote I just don't get. And how the movie lost to the hackneyed Crash baffles me just as much. (Actually I do know - Hollywood just loooves Capote's phony schtick and Crash's ending was all "neatly resolved," along with its studio spending millions on PR.) And, oh, that original score by Santaolalla. BBM was one of the greatest movies of all times - and let's not conflate great with the "spectacle" of a Cleopatra - one of the worst movies of all times. And Ledger's performance was as well.
This movie did a number in me. I wish everyone would watch this masterpiece.
Makes me cry because I have no one.
Same
Same here pushing 60
Same here and I"m about to turn 70. There is never an age for love. You can meet your love early on in your 20s or in your 80s. The only time you cannot is when you are dead. So look up and be optimistic, and know that your time is perhaps still to come.
Well this is depressing
Herzlichen Dank fürs Hochladen. Es kommt alles wieder zurück. Der Schmerz. Die Verzweiflung. Der Herzriss. 💔 Dennoch bleibt ein tiefer Frieden, den nur diese Geschichte, bzw. dieser Film überträgt. 😢💌
Love is love. I'm glad people do not have to hide or be ashamed to be with someone. Nobody should have to. If it works, then you hang onto it. Because our biggest enemy is time.
I saw this movie at least 7 times in the theater, some times I'd be the only one there! What a joyful and tragic movie!
I have a friend in high school that I was infatuated with but didn't tell him because I didn't want to ruin our friendship. Even today we're friends. I had a feeling he knew how I felt about him and after years he said he considered me as his brother. From then on I kinda lost interest because he considered me a "brother" instead of a "friend". I didn't feel much closer as I once did.
This is a very emotional and tragic love story between 2 men in early America. Its an Ang Lee masterpiece and I have to prepare to be emotionally drained whenever I decide to watch this movie from beginning to end....
Love is Love is Love!!!
This movie was used by bullies to make homophobic jokes when I was in middle school. Since then I never bothered watching it. After discovering myself as a gay person, I finally watched it. Now I wish I had watched sooner. Because it would've make accepting myself much easier later on.
I loved this movie, heartbreaking. You don’t even think of the gay-straight thing, just the love thing.
When you're in love with an avoidant or borderline personality type... :(
Aww, a full time victim
@@badeugenecops4741 I was...not around him anymore. He still stays on my mind, though, so I haven't been able to get away from him completely.
But didn’t he marry a woman.. how is a avoidant type?
Thats all bull , everything got a label now . People hurt different 🙂↕️
@@hanhanlon4441it’s hard when what you’re fighting with a feeling
I worked at Blockbuster when this was released on dvd. A middle-aged woman came in and asked me, "What's the best romantic movie you have right now?" I took her over to where we had Brokeback Mountain on display. She gave me a disgusted look and said, "eww, no thank you." I can't remember what she ended up renting instead, but it was definitely NOT the best romantic movie at the time.
Im crying my eyes out
2024 and it still makes me cry.......60 year old man.
Such amazing movie with two great actors. But when Jake gets murdered. It's truly kills me. R.I.P Ledger 🙏🏼🕊️🙏🏼🕊️🙏🏼
Probably the most beautiful movie ever made. It told the story that many like jack and ennis had to live. all the way through history and even still today
Der Film ist doch jetzt sage und schreibe fast 20 Jahre alt. Dennoch kommt es mir vor, wie wenn es gestern gewesen wäre. Diese Geschichte hat nichts von ihrer ursprünglichen Ausstrahlungskraft verloren. ImGegenteil, sie wird mit jedem Tag besser. 😊
this scene should be put into a textbook for acting
This is such a great scene.,the last time they will ever see each they ..so profound...the essence of the movie
It's a crime that Heath didn't win an Oscar for this role
The saddest part when was Jack died, when I was watching that moment I was really crying 😭😭
Heath Ledger was a great actor, RIP.
When heath cried that was heart breaking too. He's so tough you know? Tough to watch and then Jake watching him take off😢
I'm glad us people are becoming more open-minded enough to actually appreciate this movie
This is the best scene they both have acted in.
Such a beautiful and saddening story, no matter how many times I see it I cry like the first time.
Je suis retourné trois fois voir ce film, chaque jour et j’ai beaucoup pleuré. Merveilleux acteurs et grande sensibilité.
The pain on Jake's face at 4:22. What a brilliant actor.
This scene is so intense that it makes me feel like I'm actually there.
Omg, I miss
Heath Ledger and his acting ❤
This one of those movies that I felt was objectively a great movie. Well acted, true to life dialogue, and characters having relatable human struggles. But as great as I thought it was, I could never bring myself to watch a second time. It was so well acted that Jack Twists death was like seeing my brother get killed.
oh no! 😢 i guess if i ever watch this, i’ll weep like i did for tristan’s demise in LotF. i’ve never been able to bring myself to watch this one, though curiosity might get the better of me because i really love anything jake gyllenhaal. 😍
Any “guy”, that watches this and think it’s just a “gay cowboy film” missed the whole point. This was a very well acted film with a good storyline. It wasn’t really bout 2 gay men. It was bout 2 great actors portraying 2 characters with a great script, that just happened to be bout 2 cowboys who were gay.
This movie made me cry dude.
sad.
All the trash talk towards this film. The acting, writing, direction and story is phenomenal. Very talented. Great story, sad. Rip Heath.
A crazy good movie that I can't bring myself to rewatch. The pain is very palpable.
Some good acting. I love this movie.
I feel bad for them, but I also felt worse for their wives. Imagine being married to someone who’s not sexually attracted to you, doesn’t love you, and wants to be with someone else. My unpopular opinion
Totally agree
It is sad. It hurts being the person who isn’t attracted to them. I was that person once. I was so deep in denial, I couldn’t understand why I didn’t want my ex boyfriend. I kept thinking I could fix it somehow. then I met a girl. I felt things I had never felt before and I slowly began to realize I could never fix it. it was just the way I was. My ex knew I wasn’t attracted to him. we would argue about it. I never meant to hurt him, I was just so terrified to accept who I was. Expecting gay people to repress themselves hurts so many people, not just us. people have to be free to be who they are.
Why am I being suggested this in the first place???….. also me : clicks & watches 😭
This film and Aimee and Jaguar make me cry to this day.
RIP to the beautiful Heath Ledger 😢
One of the best film there is.... Only if people would be more compassionate and quit judging people....
Loving someone you can’t be with is hell.
amazing movie
I always tell folks they should watch this.
I never watched it back in the days i seen it recently and i was flabbergasted by this Beautiful movie tragic story and total masterpiece. I couldn't get it out of my head for days and days. it's one of the best movies ive ever seen omg
So sad cant help who you love, glad times have changed
Not if the current Republican Party in the US gets the opportunity to do something about it.
has it?
They haven't changed everywhere. There are countries where people are jailed or even executed for being gay.
Great film in all respects.
Excellent movie.
Tears everytime I see this. Beautiful ❤️
Wow one of the best movies of all time
