| BrokebackMountain has been both shocking, and pleasing critics since its release, and with good reason. This cinematographic expression of frustrated, repressed love is so much more than a “gay cowboy movie”.
In fact, the movie’s exploration of homosexuality is a less influential issue than the love story. Although it would have caused less of a stir if it were the love story of a man and a woman – the huge, aching heart in the center of the film would be beating just as strong.
This movie follows the lives of two rural workers – a ranch hand, Ennis Del Mar, played by Heath Ledger and a rodeo cowboy, Jack Twist, played by Jake Gyllenhal. The two spend a summer together and fall in love, while herding sheep on a mountain in Wyoming.
