Review of Brokeback Mountain

If you'll watch "Brokeback Mountain" by Ang Lee and creating prejudices it's better not see it. Unlike much of what was said, Brokeback Mountain is more than a flag of the homosexual movement or a test for conservatives on duty and is definitely not a gay cowboys movie as grossly entitled by many. For starters, it's not a western movie, but one of the most beautiful stories I've ever seen. Ang Lee presents us two decades - between the 60s and 70s - which unfolds in the relationship between Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger) and Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal). From the moment they first met, working together on the mountain, known as Brokeback to watch the sheep of a great creator of the region, through the relationship of each of the two with their wives, until the outcome of a love story that can be considered different. The photography is impressive. The mountain is very unique and brings an air of peace and tranquility to the first part of the movie. At this time we took along with Jack and Ennis discovering the feeling between the two. Anyway, the peacefulness of the setting doesn't prevent the aggression of Ennis in not accepting the new situation in his life. From the moment that the two move apart, the film becomes dark and gray. The life of Ennis without Jack and vice versa is so “cold”. Jack and Ennis together promote a glow in the film, a different kind of light that is not repeated when we have Jack and Lauren (Anne Hathaway) and Ennis and Alma (Michelle Williams). The two flee to Brokeback always seeking that peace and light that exists when the two are together, rejecting all the gray and conservative reality that surrounds the mountain. The final decision puts it in check, the window of the trailer, which gives to this world of gray, and the postcard of the mountain, an enlightened place for lovers. The psychological content around their relationship is strong. Is totally wrong who thinks that the trigger for the involvement between the two is a night of drinking around the open fire, but the sure the needs of both. When I speak of needs not only understand by sexual desire, but the loneliness and lack of affection suffered by the two characters. Ennis lost his parents, was created by brother and sister and is not far from a talented cowboy, despite claiming to have ventured into some detours. On the other hand we have Jack Twist, a frustrated cowboy, editor of bulls, some hailed the circuit, moreover, their relationship with parents seems far too much. Upon meeting, Ennis and Jack are kind of a structure to another. Brokeback is a beautiful story because it is a love story. Here it doesn't matter if we're talking man to man, woman with woman, or man and woman, the characters are the acme of human. The bias is minimized before the purity and innocence in the existing relationship of Ennis and Jack. The two are so real, even in love, that are exactly like the father or the father-in-law of Jack Twist, are conservative, they are also sexist, are selfish as well. Despite their love, to feel an inexplicable attraction for each other, they don't see the sense of their wives, they don't care about the feelings of each other, they care about their own feelings. And then it is worth highlighting the performances. Heath Ledger is fantastic and the Oscar nomination was more than deserved, but then we forget about Jake Gyllenhaal is the same disdain of his work. He doesn't surpass Ledger, but in no way can be dismissed by solidifying the character Twist. But neither overcomes Michelle Williams, the demure wife off of Ennis Del Mar, which in her world fell off like a glove for the role. Brokeback Mountain is more than the story of an impossible love, I see it more as an essay on the acceptance of something that doesn't belong to our world by two people so far and so close. There is a story about something real, but about something ideal, which could either be between a man and a woman like any other couple.
