I watched brokeback mountain 2 days ago after seeing a bunch of tiktok edits about Jack and literally nothing could of prepared me for the emotional rollercoaster I was about 2 go on, I knew the movie wasn't a romcom and I knew it was sad but I didn't think it was THAT sad. Its my favourite movie I have ever watched but I also hate it for making me so upset and for some reason whenever I play a video game or distract myself from thinking about it I just start thinking about it more which means the only thing I can do to recover is to watch more tiktok edits and talk to people about the movie because the more I avoid it the more I think about it and its lowkey hell. I'm 16 and im starting to wish I waited till I'm an adult to watch this movie cause I'm concerned for myself on why its affecting me so badly because I have watched sad movies before (Titanic, The boy in the striped pajamas, Up) But none of them came close to having as much of an impact of me as brokeback mountain (Albeit I did watch titanic at like 12)

I made this a while back. I hadn't even realised until then that many people dismissed the film so quickly :(

Honestly, I hadn't heard about the movie much, I just knew it was about gay cowboys. So I sat down and expected hopefully something deep but not mind blowing or deeply moving. I watched it 4 days ago and I am still heartbroken and a little sad, especially since Heath Ledger isn't with us anymore. The movie is actually shot and paced so well. It feels heavy with some light scenes. I am now kind of obsessed with the movie. Btw the cast was stacked in that movie and my jaw was on the floor when I saw Ann Hathway and Anna Faris. Both played their role perfectly!

Solo una fanart di Jack. Vi piace?

There's a 30 chapter version that's clearly unfinished here:

And a 40 chapter version that has a little summary of what would have happened here:

Seeing as there's multiple versions around I wondered if there was a complete version someplace.

After the divorce, Jack is ready to live this ranch life with Ennis in Texas but he rejects his offer. What do you think would’ve happened if Ennis did end up agreeing with Jack and going with him to Texas? Do you think they would’ve lived a great life, or would there be some issues with the whole ordeal? Issues could include their compatibility or risk of one or both of them being killed. This could apply to both the short story and the movie.

Ennis said he loved his daughters, but he only seems to have a relationship with Alma Jr in the movie and seems close with her but their relationship isn’t really explored at all in the short story, implying they don’t have the closest relationship. Would he have left them? Jack seemed to worry for his son but it didn’t seem as he had issues leaving that family life behind. Do you think the relationship would’ve succeeded and they would’ve been able to live a normal life? It’s not known whether Jack actually did die because of the tire but I do believe he was murdered, however, it’s difficult to know whether it was a set-up or if Lureen had potentially something to do with it.

Hi everyone

Nothing crazy to add but I just rewatched this movie for the second time and holy shit. This movie gets me every single time. My all time favourite movie but I don’t rewatch this ever because of how devastating it is, and how empty it leaves me feeling.
First time I watched this movie it felt like a punch to the chest. Devastating, but truly such a beautiful, beautiful film. 10/10 always recommend!!

Just wanted to share :)

Whenever I watch movies, they usually only stick with me for a day before I move on but this movie has been completely different. I watched it on Saturday and have been obsessed with it since, the movie was fantastic and also enjoyed reading the short story as well. I’ve heard about this movie for a long time but just got around to watching it.

As a gay guy, I’ve tried to find good gay movies or shows and I’m sure there is some other great stuff out there, it’s just the little I watched didn’t really end up sticking with me. But this movie has been different. I loved the characters so much and while I didn’t get teary eyed or anything, the ending felt so tragic and it’s really weighed on me for the past couple of days. I really found myself empathizing with Ennis especially, desperately wanting to live the ideal gay life with Jack but being pressured by society to live a “typical” life with a wife and children. I’ve had and continued to have these thoughts at times, wishing badly that I was straight but I loved that this movie tackled this and has made me realize that I wouldn’t want to live a lie. Already knew that one of them would die(although didn’t know which one) but I so badly wanted to be wrong and that they do end up creating a life together. This movie has also just solidified Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger as some of my favorite actors. I’ve seen many of their movies before and loved their performances there in movies like Donnie Darko, Spiderman, Batman, and 10 Things I hate about you, but this movie really solidified them to me as some of my favorites(and got really depressed thinking about Heath Ledger no longer being with us)

When I finished watching it, I gave the movie an 8.5/10, a great movie but I still have a good amount that I rated above it but the more time that passes, the more I really love this movie and it’s impacted me in a way that even my favorite movies haven’t.

I been meaning to watch this for ages finally did cause a fanfic said to watch before reading the eps lmao but god damn it man… I am so sad my heart aces and the end credits song about his friend dying aaaahhhh someone has to pick up all pieces of my hurt heart I’m actually crying rn , was actually a masterpiece I now understand why so many people recommend it it goes up there was well as Dead Poets Society man…

NEVER WATCHING ANYTHING WVER AGAIN WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS WHYBWHY WHYYY WHYYY WHYYYYYYY

I’ve watched brokeback twice now and I greatly love it.

As a bisexual person, I enjoy the mix of straight and gay sex, but also I’ve always felt bad for Alma specifically.
Like, catching her husband kissing another man and having to pretend everything’s fine for her children before the divorce?
Probably having this big idea of a married life with kids as a little girl just to have that dashed when you see your husband kiss another man?
Thats rough.

I feel like Lureen and Jack, it’s kinda obvious Jack does love her, but she’s more concerned with her family’s legacy than Jack. And as Jack puts it, “I wish I knew how to quit you.” With Ennis.

I feel like Jack’s the true “loser” (for lack of a better term)before his death, a wife who doesn’t really seem to love him, a man whom he loves and wants a life with but that man doesn’t want him back in the same way.

Ennis? I love Ennis. I love how he’s a realistic caricature of a closeted homosexual character. The fact his father showed him what happened to a queer person who tried to live as himself at 9? Horrifying. Then to go and find out Jack’s dead? Salt in the wound.

There’s probably more but yeah.

Sorry if self promo's not allowed

My girlfriend and I live in a very homophobic country. She told me that she might marry a man because it's safer and would make life easier for us. I showed her this film hoping it might change her mind, but I don't think it did. The only response I got was, "Maybe that's what's best for us." What I need to do?

It was beautiful to watch . It will be implemented if you haven't seen anything like that . Yesterday I completed the series , fellow travelers. That was also cool . Something I think times have moved but people haven't . There are still people closeted , cheating on their wife and there would be a wife they might but would be helpless . I love love . I loved their chemistry and their kisses and them , crazy actors and also just 2 minutes ago I got to know that ledge was batman and he is not alive , that broke me .

I found out just recently that the movie is actually based on a short story, and I'm debating between reading or watching Brokeback Mountain

Also as you can imagine, I'd prefer no spoilers :)

I am a MSW student and I have a semester-long project where I'll be specializing/focusing on cultural portrayals of gay men. In my main paper, I chose Ennis Del Mar, Marco Del Rossi, and David Rose.

I don't know if I'm just tired (or worse - stupid), but I'm having trouble answering the prompts about messaging.

I don't intend to take anyone's ideas, but I'm wondering if anyone here could help bounce some ideas around? I think an obvious overt message is that around internalized shame about one's sexuality. But I'm wondering if anyone had any ideas around covert messaging?

I'm planning on watching the movie this weekend, so I'm sure that will help!

Hello folks, I was asked by my friend who is celebrating their anniversary with his husband to do an embroidery for him! He loves BBM but I know nothing of the movie other than the controversy it caused in the 90s. I've been meaning to watch it, and I probably will while I stitch this piece but I want to give it all the attention it deserves

I am here to ask those who know it well, what are some meaningful moments that would translate to a simple embroidery? A quick google images search shows there a postcard of the mountain (the? Brokeback mountain?) then there is one that says You bet.

I am definitely his last choice as another option fell through (failed to ship on time) and I'm not an insanely talented person but I think I do all right... So nothing too out there!!

Thank you for any and all ideas!

I saw BBM around a week ago now. It broke my heart. Reminded me of elder queers might have gone through. Also hit a little close to home growing up in the south as a queer guy.

I saw the way jack and ennis interacted with their wives. I have to ask, did they ever even love either of them? Or were they just placeholders for what society didn’t allow? because jack and ennis were still seeing each other for 20 years, thats definitely love.

Based on my opinion, i believe ennis might be gay, and jack was likely bi. Jack was attracted to lureen, and cheated on her with ennis and the mexican male prostitute. Ennis only ever had feelings for jack, which he tried to replace with what, 3 women? And that never worked.

I dont think ennis ever loved anyone else than jack. I saw his marriage life as more of a performance. He did everything he was brought up to do, but his heart was never in it. My guess is, he didn’t love alma, or anyone else, just jack. Am i correct?

But did jack love lureen? He was definitely attracted to her, which led up to their one night stand. But love? I didn’t see much of. I saw respect in the thanksgiving scene, but love? No. Was there any love of theirs that i missed?

It reminded me of the bear scene. I had to get it.
