The story of a forbidden Love.Where its all begin at a place called Brokeback Mountain....

Plot:
Set against the sweeping vistas of Wyoming and Texas, the film tells the story of two young men - a ranch-hand and a rodeo cowboy - who meet in the summer of 1963, and unexpectedly forge a lifelong connection, one whose complications, joys and tragedies provide a testament to the endurance and power of love. Early one morning in Signal, Wyoming, Ennis del Mar (Heath Ledger) and Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) meet while lining up for employment with local rancher Joe Aguirre (Randy Quaid). The world which Ennis and Jack have been born into is at once changing rapidly and yet scarcely evolving. Both young men seem certain of their set places in the heartland - obtaining steady work, marrying and raising a family - and yet hunger for something beyond what they can articulate. When Aguirre dispatches them to work as sheepherders up on the majestic Brokeback Mountain, they gravitate towards camaraderie and then a deeper intimacy. At summer's end, the two must come down from Brokeback and part ways. Remaining in Wyoming, Ennis weds his sweetheart Alma (Michelle Williams), with whom he will have two daughters as he ekes out a living. Jack, in Texas, catches the eye of a rodeo queen Lureen Newsome (Anne Hathaway). Their courtship and marriage result in a son, as well as jobs in her father's business. Four years pass. One day, Alma brings Ennis a postcard from Jack, who is en route to visit Wyoming. Ennis waits expectantly for his friend, and when Jack at last arrives, in just one moment it is clear that the passage of time has only strengthened the men's attachment. In the years that follow, Ennis and Jack struggle to keep their secret bond alive. They meet up several times annually. Even when they are apart, they face the eternal questions of fidelity, commitment and trust. Ultimately, the one constant in their lives is a force of nature - love.
======================================
I watched that yesterday.Heard a lot of hype bout da movie.Nominated and won 4 Golden Globes.Brokeback Mountain is in the running for the Oscars.
Its a love story that will touch ones heart if u haf a heart lah coz some ppl juz tink its gross.heh.Watchin the movie,i cant help but to feel sorry for Ennis Del Mar and Jack twist.I noe its pretty disgusting for the same gender to fall in love let alone them having sex.Ewwww.But that's beside the point.heh.
I would probably cry if its happened to a straight couple.You noe like A walk to remember,The notebook,Titanic but for this,i feel sad and sorry for them.No.I didnt cry.
Love noes no boundary.Love is blind.Love is a force of nature.In this case,the love between the same gender.
Im a sucker for love story.It touches me when someone has to sacrifice the love for the happiness of others.Oh ya..i may look tough on the outside but im juz a softie on the inside.heh.
Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger put up a great performance.Michelle William and Anne Hathaway do too.Both played as the wives of Ennis and Jack.While one found out by accident of her husband infidelity,the other was kept in the dark for a long time.
Hopefully Brokeback Mountain will bring home few awards from the Oscars!
And Jake Gyllenhaal?He looks gay but cute.heh
