Riepilogo
Reviewers say 'Brokeback Mountain' evokes profound emotions, exploring love, loneliness, and societal repression. The film is praised for powerful storytelling, exceptional acting, and beautiful cinematography. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal's performances are highlighted for depth and authenticity. However, some find the pacing slow and the plot lacking. The portrayal of a same-sex relationship in a conservative setting is both celebrated for its boldness and critiqued for lacking emotional depth. Overall, 'Brokeback Mountain' is seen as significant and impactful, though opinions on its execution vary.

I have viewed Brokeback Mountain a total of three times on a 50 inch plasma. I spaced my views almost six months apart so I could grasp more completely and without prejudice, how I would rate this flick.
It is beyond a doubt an American classic and looking back I regret so profoundly the death of Heath, who played Enis. The amount of acting skill and diversity it took to do such a touching and completely honest job, makes this young man, Heath Ledger, a legend.
The scenes in the Brokeback were beautiful and allowed me to imagine somehow I was transformed back in time watch these young men.
The truth is neither one of the characters was entirely gay, rather bisexual, but they did find each other as their own natural soul mates.
Unfortunately cultural prejudice and homophobia prevented them from doing what Jack Twist had dreamed, ranching together on his father's spread.
The final scenes are absolutely acted with such depth of character, the viewer is taken to tears. The Brokeback will not have Jack's ashes, since even in death, the culture denies him his final request, his ashes spread upon the Brokeback.
Many of the bigots who have posted here on this fine cinema should be ashamed as they bray their ignorance for all to read.
A fine film and probably one of the top love stories of all time in film.

I am only 15, and i just recently saw this movie. I couldn't believe how good it was! After i saw it once, i had to see it again and again, and finally buy it on DVD. The characters in this movie are amazing. Brokeback Mountain isn't a made-up place, it is a state of mind that we all have in us. You just have to find it. It's not just a gay place in a gay movie,as some may want to think. It's a place of love that is not forbidden, and peace, all is equal, and happiness overflows. For those who haven't yet seen this movie, I highly recommend it. For those who have seen it, and loved it as much as i do, i recommend that we keep the story alive, and get others to do the same. I will always keep this movie close to my heart and it has changed me in such a way that i can not describe it. My mind is Brokeback Mountain, and I wish everyone could find that place in their mind, heart, and soul!
This movie exceeded my already high expectations. It's exceptionally realised - the direction is superb and the acting is excellent. I was entranced by the story from the very outset. I empathised with the characters to the point of actual heartbreak. This is a film of such honesty; tackling a topic that is still a taboo in today's "liberal" society. How many movies have you seen that portray gay love in a sensitive, non-judgmental fashion? There are several moments when, even if you find it difficult to deal with the physical depiction of homosexual love (even though it's not at all graphic), viewers who value love won't be able to prevent themselves from empathising with the characters - Ennis' reaction when he has to leave Jack for the first time and when, during their argument at their last meeting, Ennis says something that is heartbreaking in its poignancy.
These lovers - the open-hearted Jack and the silent, suffering Ennis - shared one perfect summer and much of the rest of their lives is a cruel compromise - simply because the world won't allow their love.
Like all truly good movies, Brokeback Mountain stays with you long after the last image fades from the screen. It makes you question your preconceptions and hopefully makes you want to make the world a place where all people are free to love whom they want as they please.

I didn't believe for a moment that the film could live up to the hype, or to some of the comments posted here, some of them read like love letters to the film, to the director and the actors. Well, now, after seeing the film, I feel like writing a love letter myself. The film took over my senses and transported me. The tragedy that envelopes the lives of Ennis and Jack is caused by an ancestral ignorance that is part of our DNA and if you don't believe me read some of the hateful comments posted here alongside the love letters. That's the heart of the matter. After the summer in Brokeback Mountain, Ennis and Jack go their separate ways and Ennis hits a wall with his fists crying, trying to destroy his longing, self loathing, guilt, horror. Imagine in a world without ignorance and therefore without hatred, Ennis and Jack could have celebrated their love and attempt an honest life together. Imagine also if things were the other way and heterosexuals were the dark minority, imagine falling in love with a girl and having to keep it secret, never been able to tell or to show publicly your love for her. Men like Ennis, and there are many, have to curve their own emotions and conform, entering and developing unhappy marriages and why? Read some of the comments here and you'll understand why. There is one that condemns the movie and what the movie may do for his kid and his vision of cowboys without actually having seen the movie! That's the heart of the matter. I will go and see the film again tomorrow, if I can get tickets, I'm taking with me a group of people that hate the movie already without having seen it. I won a bet so they will have to. I'm taking them to diner later to talk. I intend to report the results if you let me. But for the time being let me tell you, "Brokeback Mountain" is an extraordinary film. Jake Gyllenhaal, Ann Hathaway and the magnificent Michelle Williams give superb performances but it's Heath Ledger's film. He gives us something that nobody could possibly have expected because what he gives us is not only, honest and moving and powerful but totally and utterly new.
For all of those who are holding back from watching this movie because it is "gay" or has love scenes between two men...oh! This movie has nothing to do with sex...and to be honest, I don't feel that it has much to do with homosexuality. This is the most beautiful and profoundly sad love story I have ever come across, and the fact that it is a love between two men is beside the point. It's about a love between two people who cannot be together, but if human beings were better at being human, and if the world was a better place, they would have lived out their lives side by side. I was so, so moved. AMAZING!!!! A must see.
