Another step forward in brainwashing the masses into believing that sex between men is normal by putting it onscreen in a mainstream movie. Congratulations.

In a word OVER-RATED. While the performances of the lead actors are great and the movie beautifully shot, the movie itself is just okay. Like "Philadelphia" years ago, which was simply an okay movie that drew accolades from fawning Hollywood due to its perceived ground-breaking subject matter, so too is this movie being lauded for breaking a taboo subject and once again, Hollywood is tripping over itself to congratulate itself.

Agreed that this movie starts out slow but it pulls you in and makes you forget where you are and that the two main characters are having a homosexual relationship. You see them as two people in love. Fabulous and haunting...it stays with you long after you leave the theatre.

Great movie. Regarding some of the comments made - Ennis knew he would marry Alma when his job at Brokeback Mountain is over. He was not about to meet other men for sex until he met up with Jack years later. It was not like he cheated on Alma for the whole time! When he left Brokeback Mountain, he would not know whether he will hear from Jack or not - if ever again. Even if he chose not to marry Alma and have the kids, he would probably remain as a loner for rest of his life. Ennis` love is for Jack alone - not just for just any men out there. On that point, I think it is better for some of you to get a copy of the novel and read it as it is

An extrodinary film! Definatly a movie that should be seen be all! Amazing acting by by both Ledger and Gyllenhaal. Anne Hathaway and Michelle Williams nail the roles of the wives who suspect that they might not be the love of there husbands lives! 5 star film!

I disagree with the comment below. Society does not want or expect homosexuals to marry women. That would be hurting innocent people. Not to mention children, if they come into the picture. Imagine someone marrying you, only to find out they used you to make themselves look a certain way. How selfish is that. Movie was mediocre, by the way. I found it boring and didn`t empathize with the two leads at all. Scenery was gorgeous, though.

A tragic love story of two lonely men that discover love for each other. Homosexual love scenes, and a slow story are sure to turn off many movie goers. The scenery cannot make up for such a slow story. Not even worth a rental.

This is a breakthrough movie! one of the best movies i`ve seen in recent times. I agree that the lead stars` performance should be recognized. It was brave for the 2 hunk-actors to accept roles like this, and they succeeded! If i were to give a score for this movie, on a scale of 1 to 10 (being the highest), i`ll give it 9 stars!
