Wyoming, 1963. Two young cowboys are hired to take care of some sheep way off in the wilderness for a few months. They fall in love and then spend the next 20+ years living a lie. Both get married and have kids, but their hearts belong to each other and their entire existence revolves around the infrequent visits where they can be together.
Honestly, it was hard to simply write out that brief synopsis without crying. BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN is such a great movie. A masterpiece of human emotions, regret and lost love. When Heath Ledger says "Jack, I swear..." all I could think about was how we're only blessed with one trip around this racetrack and it's so easy to waste that time and get caught up in life and dumb shit and unintentionally neglect the ones you love or to simple lose them for other reasons that are completely out of your control. Relationships (and humans) are such a fragile thing sometimes. Treat every day like it is your last.
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN isn't just a masterpiece of emotions, but also a masterpiece of filmmaking. Perfect direction by Ang Lee, breathtaking cinematography, heartbreaking story, great pace, masterful acting and the music is a joy. Highly recommended.
