"Brokeback Mountain" (2005)

Published: July 1, 2024, noon

Saddle up cowboys. We're taking a camping trip waaaaayyy back to 2005 with Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal to witness the MTV Movie Awards (2006) Best Kiss Award. This epic drama by master filmmaker Ang Lee provides rich and complex performances by an All-Star cast, which also includes Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway. This film has so many layers; providing commentaries on masculinity, hiding secret identities, love, fear, suppression, 1960's American culture, and even the question... What makes a Western Film a "Western?" Cowboys?... CHECK. Horses?... DOUBLE CHECK? Taking long camping trips with a buddy just to desperately avoid spending time with your wife and kids?... TRIPLE CHECK!!

Enjoy!!!
