In my opinion the saddest part of this movie is the fact that Ennis cant even mourn Jack like a lover, he has to hide even after ending up alone which just breaks my heart. I love this movie its so beautifully shot and the casting is top notch!
The last scenes hit hard. His daughter trying a last time to include him, he almost pushed the last person who loves him away, solidifying his broken heart. The shirts on the nail and the picture of a better time now way gone for the rest of days.
It's a shame that neither actor won an Oscar for their portrayal. Heath, well, he was in a league by himself. And, once again, Ang Lee gave us a masterpiece.
I still remember going to the theater to see this, and how controversial it was at the time. It was seen as a huge gamble for both Heath and Jake’s careers. If it came out today, I don’t think the reception would be met with such pessimism. BUT, it was still critically acclaimed. And it proves when the writing is good, directing is good and acting, it works out.
Ennis spent his entire life repressing his feelings and lost the one person that meant the most to him. Not many people talk about the scene just after they leave the mountain the first time and Ennis has a breakdown. To me, that scene hits hard because the reason behind it, and the fight they got into on the mountain just before they left, is because Ennis didn't want to leave. He made the excuse because he was losing a months pay, but what that really was that he was losing Jack. Its why he was literally acting like an antsy teenage girl waiting for her date to pick her up when Jack comes to see him four years later.
I haven’t watched this since I saw it in the theater. When it came to the scene where Anne Hathaway is explaining how Jack died, I believe the visual is what actually happened which was why she confirmed on understanding why he wanted his ashes at Brokeback Mountain
😢
Agreed, I think her story is what she and her family came up with to tell other people. It's part of why her delivery there is so robotic.
@@practicaldreamyrIn the book, the conversation is described through text and very descriptive. The movie uses visuals to carry the same situation. Jack was killed. When Lureen tells Ennis about what happened, her voice turns cold and distant. As if she is rattling off a prepared statement for the 100th time. When she uses certain terms in her story, Ennis realises she used the same terminology as when Jack once told him how "they take care of people", in Texas. It is vaguely implied that Lureens' father might have been involved.
Trivia Note: the intertwined shirts went up for auction in 2006 by Focus Films, with the proceeds going to a charity for underprivileged children in California.
The winning bid was $101,100.51
Jacks mother knew, but his father knew too.
The description of how he died was fabricated. The images of how he died were real. That was the whole point. The wife had a whole speech ready for anyone that called about Jack Twist 😭
When Jack says, "sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it", my goodness I felt that in my soul.
This actually felt very cathartic to watch along side you both. I'm 3 months into losing the only person I have ever fallen in love with through a break up. It's been the worst pain but this helped me work through the motions again.
Love your channel and glad I saved this reaction until now. 💖💖
We're so glad you enjoyed, and we're so sorry for your loss. ❤️
@@Flix2Us Thank you. I'm getting there. 💝
This movie always breaks my heart. You guys were incredible and Jen called it something I never thought of but now can’t stop thinking: bittersweet. Absolutely true. And I did love when Jen said “A mother always knows”, cause that’s what my mom would tell me. 😢
Roberta Maxwell as Jack's mother hits all of the notes exactly right.
"What great acting." The scene on the river won Jake G. the British Academy Award, BAFTA. He works a lot in the UK now.
That was a well-deserved BAFTA. Jake is one of the finest actors, who always transforms into the character completely. And he's so versatile.
Thank you for reacting to this. As a gay man, it is always nice to see characters I can more easily relate to. Thank you for your openness; I am grateful for you two.
❤
I watched this when I was 23 in theatres and hated it. I thought it was slow and boring and stereotypical. Now, looking back, it’s amazing. I wasn’t mature enough to enjoy it back then.
I watched i'm the theaters too and i was 19 and loved it
I'm so glad I discovered your channel!! Seeing a young man and his mom, having such a great bond, it does my heart good...I just love you two!! 🥰
❤
Great reaction!!! I first saw the actress, Roberta Maxwell, who played Jack Twist’s mother, in Mourning Becomes Electra (1978) on television. She is a fantastic actress and her work in this film, even though it was really short, perfectly conveyed the knowledge about her son and absolute fear of her husband all in her face.
Good reaction. You’re both very compassionate.
Hope you guys are safe from the fires and smoke.
Thanks again from the West coast 🇨🇦
2023, it's time to recognize this is a good movie and a good story, and Very well played by the guys!
One of the very few movie adaptations that follows the book really well. The female characters are more developed in the film. Good analysis by you two. Heartbreaking but beautiful.
When he hugs his shirt, my heart cracks open.
It was a very moving movie. The story, likewise, was rich with imagery and sentiments. Unlike a lot of movies that get adapted from books, items weren't cut to fit in the time frame. The original story was short and had to be expanded upon. A single sentence or two in the story was expanded into whole scenes, and characters that were just mentioned casually in the story were fleshed out fully in the film. One great thing about the movie is that Ang Lee had faith in the story and let it tell itself without melodramatic tricks.
I only saw this movie once in the movie theatres and I never forgot it. It was so tragic but really good.
Nominated for 8 Oscars including Best Picture but won for:
Best Director
Best Original Score
Best Adapted Screenplay.
Most people thought it was robbed of Best Picture win. "The movie “Crash” prevailed over “Brokeback Mountain” in one of the most controversial best picture wins in Oscars history". -Variety Magazine
Excellent film! Glad you did this one. Good timing too, Pride month. I'm always impressed with how both of you can easily identify actors and film industry people. 👍
Great movie for Pride Month! So tragic and heartbreaking. It's sad that people had to hide who they were and some still do. I can't imagine that. Love your empathetic reactions and hope you're safe from the fires. ❤
❤
Beautiful watching this with you both. Thanks for this one.
Fascinating having such a high number of actor connections to The Dark Knight trilogy... Heath of course, Hathaway, Gyllenhaal's sister, lol...
Ang Lee doesn't get as much credit as he should; he make things look effortless.
Agreed! His version of Hulk is the first super hero movie I ever saw, and it's severely underrated.
Just to think of all the trouble we had to go to to see this at the theatre as it was in limited release in Dec of 2005. Drove 50 miles from my house to see it(me and my friend Jason) then after all the oscar nominations it went into wide release and we went and saw it two more times 😁
Just stumbled across this review of one of my fave movies. You guys did such an awesome job. I love how you point out a lot of the social aspects of what the characters were going through because of the time period. I feel like a lot of people miss that aspect of this movie when watching. And without understanding that context, I feel like you lose a lot of what makes this movie so poignant and impactful as a watcher. Great job, you def gained a new fan w this one 🩵🩵🩵
I love your reactions. I love that you know so many actors too. Your mother seems very sweet too!
It would be great if you guys could react to some of the oldies like the birds or the poseidon adventure or earthquake. There are really some really good ones out there the birds are really good one
its a fav, hard to watch, gay film but not LOUD or overly fluffy, like most expect it is, touching love story done in exquisite taste, superbly written/acted/produced great film.
So funny to see Hopper from Stranger Things, lol
Hard to believe that this lost Best Picture to Crash.
I hated that at the time but Crash is pretty good;)
The music composer of this movie is Gustavo Santaolalla. The same genius who did the music of The Last of Us games and the Tv Show! Amazing music as always...
Great movie to watch during Pride Month. Happy Pride to all my fellow queers and ally’s.🏳️🌈
Will that ending ever stop getting me 😢 my heart
❤️❤️
Amazing film..enjoyed the reaction xo
Great reaction
Yes, Alberta stood in for Wyoming. Are you two from Alberta?
Great movie. Feels like lite beer next to The Last of Us now though. Just sayin'

Fun Fact: Heath Ledger made Jake Gyllenhaal the godfather of his daughter
😢😢😢❤❤❤
Too bad Hollywood couldn't award this movie Best Picture Oscar instead gave the Oscar to Crash which was a horrible movie.
The sequel would take place in the 80s in the AIDS era but with no Heath the movie wasn't made.
You need to see CALL ME BY YOUR NAME...an excellent movie too.
The acting in this film is top notch. I know it was nominated for numerous awards and made strides for the LGBTQ+ community, but that ending was such a downer. For once, I'd like to see a gay-themed filmed where the characters end up happy.
Totally agree with you. In case you haven't seen it yet, may I suggest the movie 'Gods own country' (2017) I think you'll love that one 😄
@@harold-thedutchguy ... Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out.
The Way He Looks (2014), Shelter (2007), Handsome Devil (2016).
@@akinpaws Thank you for the recommendations. :)
I've watched Brokeback Mountain more than 10 time, and bawled like a baby every time, As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, it breaks my heart every time. But I did feel so sorry for Alma, she didn't deserve that, now Lureen was another story . I didn't like her. I loved the score, ( I think I read that the whole score consists of just 6 chords ), loved the beautiful Wyoming scenery ( which was almost entirely the Canadian Rockies in Southern Alberta. Ang Lee won best director, the four leads were all nominated for the Academy Award, all lost, as did the picture, it lost to that piece of crap movie Crash. Just so you know just watching your reaction, had me bawling again. I think the Score won the Academy Award.
Um bom filme gay
Definility a good gay movie
I admit, I had no interest in watching this film when it came out due to its subject matter. Though I don't consider myself homophobic, I did, sadly, have a homophobic reaction to it, something I'm not proud of. That said, when it aired on television one evening, I bit the bullet and watched it, and wouldn't you know, I enjoyed the film. The acting from the two main actors were amazing.
This lost Best Picture to Crash, also known as Trash. One of the worst Best Picture winners of all time.
This is a movie I really enjoy. However, I am disappointed that the casting director ignored the vast array of gay actors available and instead hired two straight men to portray characters of a sexual minority. This was very tone-deaf in that respect.
