**** StarsIt is now impossible to look at these two fine actors the same ever again. For Heath Ledger, we are now looking at one the most talented young men in Hollywood. But lets not leave out Jake Gyllenhaal, who turns in yet another heartfelt and Oscar worthy performance. Brokeback Mountain sets a new landmark for the film industry. It is powerful, brilliantly acted, and for Ang Lee, this may be his turn to take Oscar glory.
Brokeback Mountain takes place on the vistas of Wyoming and Texas surrounding a love story between to men. is an epic love story set against the sweeping vistas of Wyoming and Texas. Two young men, a ranch-hand Ennis Del Mar (Ledger) and a rodeo cowboy Jack Twist (Gyllenhaal) meet on Brokeback Mountain in the summer of 1963 and begin a life long relationship hidden from the outside world.
Once the summer ends, they part ways, only to be reconnected years later. They marry, have kids, and try to live their lives without one another, when really for them, it is impossible. Michelle Williams is Ledgers wife, Ann Hathaway is Gyllenhaal's and both give powerful supporting performances as two women who will never know who their men truly are. Ang Lee's vision is captivating. The cinematography alone will sweep you away from your home and will place you on top of the most peaceful yet most painful place on earth...Brokeback Mountain.
Speaking a straight man, this is one of the best films of the year.
