The fact that all meaning this movie had was lost to the public and was just known as being about two gay cowboys who have sex on a mountain, some kind of indulgent female fantasy, drives home the point of the film even harder.
+This Is A Channel I think I read somewhere a few years ago that this was based on a book, and the author was absolutely appalled that female fans WERE using it as an indulgent female fantasy instead of seeing the message. Check out any fandom, dude, gay characters in canon or not - it's disgusting.
Blahidontcare11 though I'm a girl and love to watch gay dudes go at it, that's not how I view this film at all. It's a tragic, bitter story that makes me cry every time!
I thought the movie intentionally left Jack's death ambiguous. It was hard to tell whether Ennis was imagining Jack being beaten to death, or whether Jack really died that way. After all, Ennis' own father murdered a gay man, which traumatized Ennis and he was thus always scared. So I thought Ennis was THINKING Jack died that way.
@@bojandolinar1535 yeah, the one thing he did that Ennis mentioned is that he brought Ennis and his brother to an open field where a gay man just got beaten to death iirc. you know what, what's the difference then. granted, i forgot if his father did that out of concern for his sons' safety or not.
@@bojandolinar1535 As I recall, he did talk about a couple of tough old farmers who were gay being murdered, (or at least one of them was) but he only suspected that his father was in. on it.
same here dude. i am straight but the pain from the film is still in me weeks after i watched brokeback mountain. hope jack didnt die and i wish ennis just lived in with jack so all is well
i've literally just finished watching this film. omg i cried so much, brokeback mountain is without a doubt one of the most beautiful and tragic love stories ever put to film
Agreed, when I watched it, I was sad for weeks, and crying, secretly in my room for days. I just thought it was the most depressing movie I'd ever watched. It just had such a painful ending.
I’m 8 years late but this is exactly how I felt. I didn’t have any knowledge of the movie beforehand except “Gay cowboys” so i gave it a watch and when I tell you I had never cried so much during a movie. I literally in full honesty, cried more than when my grandmother died to when Jack twist died. I felt so emotionally connected to this movie, I will cherish it forever.
To me it's both: Ennis' horror and immense sorrow over losing Jack, including feelings of shame he was murdered for who he was and that it might not have happened had he (Ennis) made different choices.....choices that Jack had always longed for. And secondly, that it's an accurate account - if not an explicitly factual one - of Jack's tragic demise. It's one of the many scenes of layered poignancy in this cinematic masterpiece.
this was surprisingly awesome. i'm so used to gay narratives being mocked or devalued in media. so, it was really.. nice to see it treated as legitimate and for the humour to be found elsewhere. i hope more people follow you're example.
It was mocked their were gay jokes at the Oscars, speculation about the actors sexual orientation, there was plenty of controversy around the project at the time, but the film is important, what it did was push positive depictions and lgbt stories into mainstream media, the ironic thing is if brokeback mountain were made today the controversy would be around two straight actors playing gay or bisexual characters, which is funny because the opportunities lgbt actors have now, is due to the success of this movie
I think it really wasn't clear (at least to me) that Jack was actually a victim of a gay bashing. As Anne Hathaways character was telling Ennis, we see the flash of a violent assault. This could very well have only been in Ennis' mind how it actually occurred. We get no indication that Anne's character was fabricating a story...especially when there was some indication that she somehow had a hunch about Jacks double life.
vimmandude it was actually pretty clear. Jack told ennis he was talking to this woman’s husband from the party and he has a cabin they can go too. Jack’s parents also tell ennis that jack wanted to take that same husband and live with him in a cabin. Jack even told ennis he almost nearly got caught multiple-times with the husband. I believe two things 1) jack was murdered cause he got caught with the husband and they planned it. That’s why his wife formed that story and sounded so fake 2) jack might have got into a situation where the guys found out he was gay and murdered him. But I truly believed he was murdered cause he got caught with the wife’s husband from the party.
@@CrusaderDom3 No, in fact, sex was created by nature, gender by humans. You will never see a female lion wearing a dress in nature. Sex refers to the biological differences between male and female (p3n1s-v4g1n4, br34sts-pecs, testosterone-estrogen, X and Y chromosomes). Gender refers to the social characteristics added to each sex, like men work and women clean the house, a man can't be gay, a man doesn't cry, women can't do industrial jobs...
@@CrusaderDom3 biological sex was created by nature. The etymology of the word gender itself comes from another languages word for "genre" (I think it was Latin, but anyway).

The part about Jack's family keeping his room the way it was really made me cry. I went to my parents' house, and they'd redecorated my room, and it was like a curated reflection of who I am, or who it's socially acceptable for me to be. One decoration was the bible my mom gave me. The one in which I'd highlighted all the hypocritical laws of leviticus in. My dad once got into an argument with me, and I asked him where specifically it said that I would go to hell for being gay, so he took my bible, and couldn't himself quite remember where it was, so it took him a minute before he found leviticus, and triumphantly declared that I'd highlighted the passage myself. Then I told him that I'd highlighted all of the idiotic passages in that book, and asked him if he abstained from shellfish. That did not make him very happy. I hate looking at that damn book. It's just a reminder that something someone wrote thousands of years ago can supercede a parent's love for his child.
God is a foolish figment of primitive people's imaginations. Dumb people that didn't know much about anything a long time ago decided to make up an imaginary friend, to make them feel less hopeless. That delusion spawned a lot of evil. That evil and delusion both are still around today unfortunately. But to me, there is no God. No great omni-present being out there letting the modern world rot while it just twiddles it's godly thumbs. The concept of God and religions are too childish and simplistic to be real and valid especially now. I abandoned the idea of God and embraced bisexuality. It's depressing that modern humans still cling to primitive redundant mentalities like believing in God. On a greater level, humanity could benefit and truly reach it's collective potential by abandoning the ideas of God and religion and spirituality. None of that stuff is useful or tangible. Long ago, humans should have just accepted that we know very little and still decided to do a lot of good despite not having some super being to be mentally enslaved to. But humans just love making up things to circumvent reality. Reality is there is no God, no heaven and hell, no angels guarding only some and letting others fall to ruin. There is just us and this planet that we really don't deserve to be on given how much we have squandered the privilege of life itself. I say all this to say, homosexuality is a perfectly normal lifestyle. There's nothing impure about being Bi or Gay or a Lesbian or Asexual or Transgender. If God creates something and decides instead of accepting your creation for who they are you hate them and want them to burn, then God is a idiot who doesn't deserve worship or obedience. He deserves to burn for being such a imperfect moron that makes people then complains about how he made them. But all & all there is no god. Just humans, that need to hurry up and figure this shit out already. Or else it will be 2095 and gay people will still be getting lynched because Allah or Yahweh or Jehovah or Jesus told the delusional evil bigots to murder.
@@yuhuh2420 The thing is...they both have kids and were implied to have had fiances before doing the ol sideways mambo on the mountain. So most likely they're either bi or really fucking good at pretending they like coochie.
They are GAY. What they did is what gay dudes did in the past and even now. You live a life within straight social standards, even when you know there is something wrong in it, until you realize make the click. It is simple.
Now, Ennis was possibly bisexual. He dated more women than he did men and the only man he stuck with was Jack. He loved Jack more than anything, but he loved Alma before, too. Jack, on the other hand, is gay. There was a scene where he met a couple along with Lureen, named Randall and Lashawn, and a scene where Randall and him were out smoking. Randall told him he had a private cabin they could use together, and an affair is implied. Another instance is him taking it to Mexico and having sex with male prostitutes.
In 0:43 I paused for a moment and paid attention for the postcard the first time. Look how beautiful the script is, like Jack tried his very best, using every inch of his writing skills he ever attained. But then look at the spelling mistakes, the lack of vocab, how short the message is. Jack's literacy is so limited that he struggles to express himself even on a short postcard. And for me, this perfectly reflects the tragedy of their lovestory: both men love each other, but they lack the vocab and techniques to express their feelings, reflect on their hopes and wishes and free themselves of their narrow lives. Their illiteracy is both "emotional" and in the real meaning of the word: Both left school early, never learned how to use language as a tool to express their inner lives and to make a change. At the same time they do not know how to express love because they were not loved themselves, they can't reflect on their ideas of masculinity because they were never given an alternative model. They cannot even ask for help or seek for a new direction in their lives because they do not know how.
+Kale Vang When I first saw that scene several years ago, I could not stop laughing. He punched a horse and knocked him out! What did the horse do to him? I wonder if they got a stunt horse to play the scene? How did they train a horse to get knocked out? You couldn't film blazing saddles anymore, PETA would be all over that film. Schwarzenegger punches a horse too and a camel. Also funny.
+Grindstone oh heeeeeellllll no lol,but then again its because of movies like that that threw up a reflection of the the ridiculousness of bigotry in society's face that we have a more understanding world today
This was the first movie I ever cried over. And I cried, and cried, and cried, for the last half hour of the movie and the half hour after it finished. I watched it when I was 14 and had just realized I was in love with my best friend who was also a girl. I had never felt so connected to a story in my life, despite not being a cowboy, or gay in the 60s in a rural area, but it was the first gay love story I had ever seen. This movie is often made into a joke but at its core it's insanely beautiful, and I think this video did a good job of respecting that and still being hilarious.
you still gay..? 🤔🤪 if so i respect that, but being 14 when realizing it, i’d assume you’ve never ridden a pickle 🤭🙈 now i think it would be a shame for such an experience to be lost due to your perception to sexuality.. you do realise you can be a lesbian/bisexual, but should still be comfortable and able to ask a male friend to stuff you, maybe even your girlfriend,like a turkey right? i’m sure nobody, especially a true friend would turn down that request.. if anything they’ll be more than happy to make your wish a reality, as they will also get a good nut out of it, and your friendship/bond will be much stronger. you might even make it a regular thing!. hope you take this to heart and enjoy yourself. i had a female friend who was gay but wanted just that and it was one of the coolest experiences of my life, just to have a female friend you’d never expect to sleep with asking you to pleasure her, and offering her orifices to you to achieve a euphoric state… wish she didnt have to get with a girl that isn’t comfortable with us helping each other climax. that girl is a cock block if i’ve ever known one..
My favorite thing about Earthling Cinema is Garax (Garyx) Wormuloid's commitment to the overall aesthetic by doing the whole show in a dead Earth language.
I’ll be honest, when i first watched it I didn’t expect it to have the impact that it had on me. We were joking during the initial few minutes of the film and were quick to realise that this wasn’t going to be the kind of film you make light or make crude jokes about. I watched it again recently and it still hits me like a train. Beautiful film through and through.

Fuck no. We don't need another celebrity president. I'm fine with gay, non-white, non-Christian, or female presidents. Just no more celebrities. They already have enough influence and they're gonna fuck it up even more
I saw a big theme in the film as how repressive society hurts everyone involved. Because jack and Ennis couldn’t be theirselves, they had awful lives and became awful angry lonely people which made awful lives for their wives and families.
I love the juxtaposition between Ennis and Jack, Ennis being the one to always try to prove his masculinity and Jack being softer and more feminine. I also noticed Anne Hathaway’s character was depicted as more masculine than Jack and called the shots in their marriage and was even the one to pursue him, which is traditionally the role of the man. It’s interesting how we still continue to attach femininity and masculinity to gender and allow these characteristics to control our lives and keep us boxed in. Anyway, the film is so much deeper watching it as an adult versus watching it as a kid. So many hidden gems and so much to analyze!
as shown in the scene where Jack draws limits to his Father-in-Law, he is not softer or more feminine, and he can and did took a strong stand for himself. he is more accepting of himself that was all.
@@jadattia6723 no I think Jack is inherently softer and that’s why his father in law was so comfortable disrespecting him in his own home. The father in law saw the dynamics of the marriage and did not respect it, especially because Anne Hathaway’s character is the breadwinner in the film. Jack had finally reached his limit and snapped on the father in law, but I don’t think this takes away from his character’s softness. When analyzing the film in its entirety, Jack is definitely depicted in a more feminine light and I think this is crucial to understanding the dynamics of the characters and of society in the film

Brett Wayland You can't choose your sexuality either. You cannot become gay, or straight or bi at a given time. You just can't. You can't choose your gender either. Male teenagers who have a vagina and develop breasts go through rough times. Can you imagine looking at the mirror and seeing a woman there? That would be awful!
Sexual orientation is more nurture than nature, according to recent studies, and gender dysphoria is caused by a various multitude of things. However, biologists say it is primarily nature. Also, if by "who you are", you mean your personality, then you are wrong on many levels. If you mean as a way to categorize a person, yes.
FireofGia You said that "sexual orientation is more nurture than nature *according to recent studies* ". Which studies are you talking about? I don't know of any that comes to this conclusion.
I watched this film yesterday at 2 AM and the performance by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal just caught me. I cried so much, I can't describe how much I loved this film...A highly underrated gem ❤️
This film is both profoundly beautiful and deeply tragic. The scene that resonated with me the most was when they met for the last time and end up fighting, where the camera flashes back to the early days of their relationship.As time passes and things gradually deteriorate, you begin to reflect on how good thing was at the start, even though, at the time, it didn't seem so special at all. This sentiment echoes the nature of many relationships.
You guys should do Memento next. Probably one of my favourite movies ever. ~A petty mortal long since dead begging the beautiful god like alien life form, or eye brows as they are known to other low born mortals, and the filthy meat sack they they live on, to request his dying wish
god ill never forget this movie. it was incredible to experience as a young southern gay and i cry every time im crying typing this. so many of us could have been that, so many of us are that. i was terrified of it growing up, having to marry a girl to be normal, even to my family. ill also say this is one of two vids ive found that review the film in any seriousness so thank you. it means more than you realize. this film was so needed and ill always love it sm. people reactions to it only make it age better too.
I think it's sort of neglectful to not mention the possibility of their bisexuality, like there's a very strong case to be made that they're attracted to both men and women, perhaps not to the same degree, but certainly not just within binary gay/straight.
Why do we have to tag them? There are people who can equally be (romantically and sexually) with both guys and girls because for them it´s not about the actually gender but what person makes them feel and they don´t have to be tagged as bi, they just let their feelings take charge.
Isis Pérez That´s the problem, we keep on tagging people which I don´t like. Humanity should stop putting names on everything, sometimes it isn´t necessary.
+Juay DeRito I kind of feel like this could totally be a thing what with Reagan being a movie star when he was young and fucking Trump ( not in that order ;) )
No, please do Brokeback Mountain the Series, where we find out that the death of Jack was actually just Ennis's nightmare and Jack is a-OK and still waiting for him, but when Ennis changes his mind and goes to live with Jack he has an accident on the way and comes out of hospital looking like Chris Hemsworth (or Jason Statham -- I'm cool with either), and then they live together happily ever after as an example of Faithful Love to the rest of humanity... Ahhhh!
I LOVE THIS FILM. And it now has an even more tragic undertone, given that it is a reminder of Heath Ledger's talent, and the fact that we will never see a new release of his.
Two films pop into my head that I would recommend. 1 - Rush (2013) a film about the rivalry between Formula One drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda. 2 - What We Do in the Shadows (2014) a film about centuries old vampires living together in modern day New Zealand who must deal with living together. Hopefully Garyx you can convince the producers of Earthling Cinema to choose either film for analysis. Thank you for your time and for providing insightful entertainment.
The moment when you finished watching the movie and search for Ennis (Heath), realising he was passed away. The depressing level increases, I can’t. I’m So empty.
i just saw this movie and i was so heartbroken over the ending. Like, i was obviously not expecting a happy ending, i did not expect them to end up together frolicking in the garden, i expected a tragedy because it is a story about 2 gay men in the 60's released in 2005. What i did not expect was the end message of it to be that oh yeah we will just reconfirm Ennis' fear of coming out by having the love of his life meet the same end that he always feared, and ultimately have him stay exactly the way he was- closeted and afraid of his queerness, whilst saying that the person who did come out and choose to live his life the way he wanted to will meet a tragic death. What? Where is the growth?
They actually did give him character growth; after his refusal to quit his job for Jack indirectly caused jacks murder, he quit his job to attend his daughters wedding. He at least realized that family comes before your job. But if he came out of the closet, it would have changed the message of the original short story.
+rdecredico high granularity individualistic interpretation and nihilism equal in their profound findings of new wisdom regarding this subject: both achieve a zero amount of meaningful insights into art.
I worked in Yellowstone Park at the North Entrance and thus had contact with people from small towns. I worked there during my college summers. When I saw this movie it immediately hit me that this was not a "gay" movie or story but one about the disfunctional people I had encountered in Montana, Wyoming, Utah, et al. You have to live in a place to grasp what the culture and people are all about. In that area are generations of people trying to escape as they didn't fit in back East one way or another.
I worked, and played, in Yellowstone Park summers during college. When I saw this movie my first thought was, "I know these people." The homosexuality is only a symtom of the culture up there. Many more exist: child beatings, wife beatenings, alcholism, school drop outs and other disfuctional and very, very sad lives. It is a place of uncomparable beauty but also a place to hide when noone will or did love you. Her story and the movie are hit on the mark.
I've watched this channel since inception, mostly as filler between Thug Notes. BUT, this was easily the best Earthing Cinema that I can recall and the first time I've been moved to post. Well done !
I just realized why he keeps the jacket ''in the closet''

Don't you mean the Jack-et in the closet?
So if he took it off the hook and put it on the floor in the closet, would it mean the Jack-off in the closet?

For years people have called this the gay cowboy movie. I have long maintained it is the bisexual sheepherder movie.
And you are completely right.
not sure its very good to interpret them as bi when they both go cheat on their wives the whole time
@@yuhuh2420
The thing is...they both have kids and were implied to have had fiances before doing the ol sideways mambo on the mountain. So most likely they're either bi or really fucking good at pretending they like coochie.
They are GAY. What they did is what gay dudes did in the past and even now. You live a life within straight social standards, even when you know there is something wrong in it, until you realize make the click. It is simple.
Now, Ennis was possibly bisexual. He dated more women than he did men and the only man he stuck with was Jack. He loved Jack more than anything, but he loved Alma before, too. Jack, on the other hand, is gay. There was a scene where he met a couple along with Lureen, named Randall and Lashawn, and a scene where Randall and him were out smoking. Randall told him he had a private cabin they could use together, and an affair is implied. Another instance is him taking it to Mexico and having sex with male prostitutes.
I love the way Anne Hathaway is so beloved that no matter what character she's playing, people only acknowledge her as Anne
In 0:43 I paused for a moment and paid attention for the postcard the first time. Look how beautiful the script is, like Jack tried his very best, using every inch of his writing skills he ever attained. But then look at the spelling mistakes, the lack of vocab, how short the message is. Jack's literacy is so limited that he struggles to express himself even on a short postcard. And for me, this perfectly reflects the tragedy of their lovestory: both men love each other, but they lack the vocab and techniques to express their feelings, reflect on their hopes and wishes and free themselves of their narrow lives. Their illiteracy is both "emotional" and in the real meaning of the word: Both left school early, never learned how to use language as a tool to express their inner lives and to make a change. At the same time they do not know how to express love because they were not loved themselves, they can't reflect on their ideas of masculinity because they were never given an alternative model. They cannot even ask for help or seek for a new direction in their lives because they do not know how.
You articulated this so well.

Did anyone else laugh when that cowboy punched the horse?
Mongo FTW
+Kale Vang When I first saw that scene several years ago, I could not stop laughing. He punched a horse and knocked him out! What did the horse do to him? I wonder if they got a stunt horse to play the scene? How did they train a horse to get knocked out? You couldn't film blazing saddles anymore, PETA would be all over that film. Schwarzenegger punches a horse too and a camel. Also funny.

+Grindstone oh heeeeeellllll no lol,but then again its because of movies like that that threw up a reflection of the the ridiculousness of bigotry in society's face that we have a more understanding world today
"After she leaves, Ennis realizes he forgot to go to the laundromat, and starts crying."
Relatable.
Who goes to the laundromat nowadays??!!
This was the first movie I ever cried over. And I cried, and cried, and cried, for the last half hour of the movie and the half hour after it finished. I watched it when I was 14 and had just realized I was in love with my best friend who was also a girl. I had never felt so connected to a story in my life, despite not being a cowboy, or gay in the 60s in a rural area, but it was the first gay love story I had ever seen. This movie is often made into a joke but at its core it's insanely beautiful, and I think this video did a good job of respecting that and still being hilarious.
you still gay..? 🤔🤪 if so i respect that, but being 14 when realizing it, i’d assume you’ve never ridden a pickle 🤭🙈 now i think it would be a shame for such an experience to be lost due to your perception to sexuality.. you do realise you can be a lesbian/bisexual, but should still be comfortable and able to ask a male friend to stuff you, maybe even your girlfriend,like a turkey right? i’m sure nobody, especially a true friend would turn down that request.. if anything they’ll be more than happy to make your wish a reality, as they will also get a good nut out of it, and your friendship/bond will be much stronger. you might even make it a regular thing!. hope you take this to heart and enjoy yourself. i had a female friend who was gay but wanted just that and it was one of the coolest experiences of my life, just to have a female friend you’d never expect to sleep with asking you to pleasure her, and offering her orifices to you to achieve a euphoric state… wish she didnt have to get with a girl that isn’t comfortable with us helping each other climax. that girl is a cock block if i’ve ever known one..
My favorite thing about Earthling Cinema is Garax (Garyx) Wormuloid's commitment to the overall aesthetic by doing the whole show in a dead Earth language.

I’ll be honest, when i first watched it I didn’t expect it to have the impact that it had on me. We were joking during the initial few minutes of the film and were quick to realise that this wasn’t going to be the kind of film you make light or make crude jokes about. I watched it again recently and it still hits me like a train. Beautiful film through and through.
Holy crap! Neil Patrick Harris as President? He's got my vote!

Fuck no. We don't need another celebrity president. I'm fine with gay, non-white, non-Christian, or female presidents. Just no more celebrities. They already have enough influence and they're gonna fuck it up even more
I saw a big theme in the film as how repressive society hurts everyone involved. Because jack and Ennis couldn’t be theirselves, they had awful lives and became awful angry lonely people which made awful lives for their wives and families.
if this country is still around in 12 years, I will totally vote for Neil Patrick Harris.

@@boricuaislander yep, this is why politics has been turning into a tv drama.

Losing Heath was a tragedy. Such a great man and actor
I love the juxtaposition between Ennis and Jack, Ennis being the one to always try to prove his masculinity and Jack being softer and more feminine. I also noticed Anne Hathaway’s character was depicted as more masculine than Jack and called the shots in their marriage and was even the one to pursue him, which is traditionally the role of the man. It’s interesting how we still continue to attach femininity and masculinity to gender and allow these characteristics to control our lives and keep us boxed in. Anyway, the film is so much deeper watching it as an adult versus watching it as a kid. So many hidden gems and so much to analyze!
as shown in the scene where Jack draws limits to his Father-in-Law, he is not softer or more feminine, and he can and did took a strong stand for himself. he is more accepting of himself that was all.
@@jadattia6723 no I think Jack is inherently softer and that’s why his father in law was so comfortable disrespecting him in his own home. The father in law saw the dynamics of the marriage and did not respect it, especially because Anne Hathaway’s character is the breadwinner in the film. Jack had finally reached his limit and snapped on the father in law, but I don’t think this takes away from his character’s softness. When analyzing the film in its entirety, Jack is definitely depicted in a more feminine light and I think this is crucial to understanding the dynamics of the characters and of society in the film
I literally was thinking the same thing with jack and his wife dynamic
I swear to god if a gay man is voted in 2028 I'm gonna show everyone this video

Gender and sexual orientation are two completely separate things. First is about who you are, and the latter is about who you find attractive.
You can't choose you're gender but you can choose your sexuality. Simple.
Brett Wayland You can't choose your sexuality either. You cannot become gay, or straight or bi at a given time. You just can't.
You can't choose your gender either. Male teenagers who have a vagina and develop breasts go through rough times. Can you imagine looking at the mirror and seeing a woman there? That would be awful!
Sexual orientation is more nurture than nature, according to recent studies, and gender dysphoria is caused by a various multitude of things. However, biologists say it is primarily nature. Also, if by "who you are", you mean your personality, then you are wrong on many levels. If you mean as a way to categorize a person, yes.
FireofGia You said that "sexual orientation is more nurture than nature *according to recent studies* ". Which studies are you talking about? I don't know of any that comes to this conclusion.

This film is both profoundly beautiful and deeply tragic. The scene that resonated with me the most was when they met for the last time and end up fighting, where the camera flashes back to the early days of their relationship.As time passes and things gradually deteriorate, you begin to reflect on how good thing was at the start, even though, at the time, it didn't seem so special at all. This sentiment echoes the nature of many relationships.

the best in the movie is the last scene when ennis says " I swear". that was more moving than anything. Legend.
when The Joker and Nightcrawler guy love each other . . .
+Croz Raven Imagine the butt babies!
he will forever be Donny Darko to me
god ill never forget this movie. it was incredible to experience as a young southern gay and i cry every time im crying typing this. so many of us could have been that, so many of us are that. i was terrified of it growing up, having to marry a girl to be normal, even to my family. ill also say this is one of two vids ive found that review the film in any seriousness so thank you. it means more than you realize. this film was so needed and ill always love it sm. people reactions to it only make it age better too.
As much as I despise you for making fun of my favorite tragic love story movie, I must say that I find this presentation to be not unpalatable.
I think it's sort of neglectful to not mention the possibility of their bisexuality, like there's a very strong case to be made that they're attracted to both men and women, perhaps not to the same degree, but certainly not just within binary gay/straight.
They're not bi, having sex/kids with doesn't make you bi or straight. They both wanted to be with another man at the end of the day. Therefore gay.
Why do we have to tag them? There are people who can equally be (romantically and sexually) with both guys and girls because for them it´s not about the actually gender but what person makes them feel and they don´t have to be tagged as bi, they just let their feelings take charge.
Lodbrok Those people are called pansexuals
Isis Pérez That´s the problem, we keep on tagging people which I don´t like. Humanity should stop putting names on everything, sometimes it isn´t necessary.
Lodbrok Actually I'm with you, I think it's unnecessary tagging people because we are all humans and equals after all

pls do it
!! yes

No, please do Brokeback Mountain the Series, where we find out that the death of Jack was actually just Ennis's nightmare and Jack is a-OK and still waiting for him, but when Ennis changes his mind and goes to live with Jack he has an accident on the way and comes out of hospital looking like Chris Hemsworth (or Jason Statham -- I'm cool with either), and then they live together happily ever after as an example of Faithful Love to the rest of humanity... Ahhhh!
I wish Neil Patrick Harris was actually president. That would be legendary. I guess we'll just have to wait for it.
This movie left me really bad, I cried a lot and I still haven't been able to get over it
I LOVE THIS FILM. And it now has an even more tragic undertone, given that it is a reminder of Heath Ledger's talent, and the fact that we will never see a new release of his.

He would probably prefer to be president of our bumps and grinds.
This has always been my favorite movie and I cry every single time I see it. I think this is a great Earthling Cinema video ♡
Two films pop into my head that I would recommend.
1 - Rush (2013) a film about the rivalry between Formula One drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda.
2 - What We Do in the Shadows (2014) a film about centuries old vampires living together in modern day New Zealand who must deal with living together.
Hopefully Garyx you can convince the producers of Earthling Cinema to choose either film for analysis. Thank you for your time and for providing insightful entertainment.
Apart from Heath's acting, I loved his country accent too.

These videos are amazing btw, learned and laughed alot
i just saw this movie and i was so heartbroken over the ending. Like, i was obviously not expecting a happy ending, i did not expect them to end up together frolicking in the garden, i expected a tragedy because it is a story about 2 gay men in the 60's released in 2005. What i did not expect was the end message of it to be that oh yeah we will just reconfirm Ennis' fear of coming out by having the love of his life meet the same end that he always feared, and ultimately have him stay exactly the way he was- closeted and afraid of his queerness, whilst saying that the person who did come out and choose to live his life the way he wanted to will meet a tragic death. What? Where is the growth?
They actually did give him character growth; after his refusal to quit his job for Jack indirectly caused jacks murder, he quit his job to attend his daughters wedding. He at least realized that family comes before your job. But if he came out of the closet, it would have changed the message of the original short story.
"As progressive as Flo" took me all the way out.
I love Earthling Cinema because not only is it an analysis and sentimental, but it also has well timed humor
Best film ever.. Brilliant, fantastic and so heartbreaking.. I will never be able to watch it calmly without tears and melancholy and pain
This is literally my favorite movie of all time and it is so sad but I'm laughing so sad.

I've watched the movie 4 days ago and I'm still so sad and depressed
I worked in Yellowstone Park at the North Entrance and thus had contact with people from small towns. I worked there during my college summers. When I saw this movie it immediately hit me that this was not a "gay" movie or story but one about the disfunctional people I had encountered in Montana, Wyoming, Utah, et al. You have to live in a place to grasp what the culture and people are all about. In that area are generations of people trying to escape as they didn't fit in back East one way or another.

+iamimago ideas...that's the similar thread.
I worked, and played, in Yellowstone Park summers during college. When I saw this movie my first thought was, "I know these people." The homosexuality is only a symtom of the culture up there. Many more exist: child beatings, wife beatenings, alcholism, school drop outs and other disfuctional and very, very sad lives. It is a place of uncomparable beauty but also a place to hide when noone will or did love you. Her story and the movie are hit on the mark.
