I agree with the comment about the unintelligible dialogue. If writing is important, make it possible to understand what's written. Strong accents can be made intelligible by not allowing the actor to swallow his lines. Heads up, Kevin Costner, that means YOU, too.
I've only seen Brokeback Mountain once, last year. At the time I was annoyed that the women, especially Heath's wife, were portrayed as unattractive. I realize the point of view was the men's, but I didn't think the script was b ...

From the moment Brokeback Mountain opens, with a mournful score conveying bits of deep sadness, a sorrowful wind blowing through shots of western scenery, you are connected and drawn into this film. It is the movie of a lifetime.
The opening scenes cut to Signal Wyoming in 1963, where two cowboy-hatted men, Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist, end up waiting, exchanging furtive glances outside a trailer that seems a bit like the rest of town - worn and forgotten. Not a word is exchanged between the ...

Commonly referred to as 'the gay cowboy movie', this adaptation of Annie Proulx's 1997 short story could easily have drowned under the weight of its sensitive subject matter. A lesser director might have been tempted to either water down the rawness of the material (lest anyone be offended by the sight of two men displaying affection for each other) or strive to politicize the story and make it a 'message' movie about society's conflicting views towards homosexuality. Thankfully, Ang Lee (the ...

The first problem with Brokeback Mountain came within the first 20 minutes when I was not able to understand the dialogue. The accents may have been accurate, but in an attempt at gruff macho realism, all the actors were initially unintelligible. I began to think that I would have to view the movie again on DVD with the subtitles on. Fortunately, either my ear became attuned or changes occurred after viewing the rushes. Although matters improved, I realise my initial annoyance may have affec ...

Brokeback Mountain, though deemed the 'gay cowboy movie', is more than that. It is a tale between two young men (played by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal) who find love whilst herding sheep up on Brokeback Mountain.
Due to the time the piece is set in, it is unnatural for men to have relations with each other, and a person found to be pursuing homosexual relations could be killed.
Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the two men call the whole situation off and leave to get married ...

Brokeback Mountain deserves so much more than to be called "that gay cowboy movie" as it is becoming known. It is the deeply sad and moving movie of two men, Jack and Ennis, who meet while working as shepherds (or cowboys) in 1963 in Wyoming on Brokeback Mountain. They strike up first a deep friendship, being each other's only companionship through the summer, and then a love affair. After the summer finishes, Ennis marries his sweetheart and Jack begins a career riding in rodeo's before also ...
