This film has beautiful sweeping western landscape cinematography - absolutely gorgeous. The acting is more than impressive, the directing is top-notch and the writing really makes one think. If you watched "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer as a child and caught the making fun of misfits was wrong and maybe I should be more tolerant, too, then you will surely feel that way about this film. Bi orGay men are often put down for being unmanly, unnatural and just plain outright icky, but this film makes one really think... what would I have done had I been in his or her place? If you have heard there is lots of graphic adult-action in this film, you were misinformed... this is by far one of the most tame R-rated films of an adult nature I have viewed. This film will powefully move all to see it to tears, or very close to it. "Brokeback Mountain" is a fictional setting in rural Wyoming and was inspired by a short story from author Annie Proulx. Surpsisingly, this film touches on a widespread, but very taboo subject Bi orGay married men cheating on their wives. However, the film is far more than a casual-fling type of story... it evolves into true love between two... men, masculine and good looking - something most big budget Hollywood films have rarely grazed over before. "Brokeback" will open your eyes, your mind and quite possibly even your heart - and just maybe there will more understanding and far less hatred towards those who are different from ourselves... or are they?

This movie is more that what the public has labled it to be. I found a profound friendship throughout this movie with a level of commitment and friendship that was astonishing. It really makes one think of how short life really is and what passes you by when you don't take advantage of change. I watch this over and over and always find a new view on certain aspects in life that I have never noticed before both in the movie and in my personal life.
