This film is about a gay love story, no, I would not say that, rather, I would say that it's a love story that happened to two men Ennis and Jack, as what Ennis and Jack said, "I'm not queer" "Me neither". I admit that it's a long way for conventional society to accept homosexuality, even if Canada officially recognizes and legalizes same-sex marriage and hosts gay pride parade yearly, I have to say homosexuality is not widely naturally recognized. Perhaps it's because homosexuality is mostly related to eroticism but not feeling. I would not focus on homosexuality's being recognized, rather, I would like to talk about this film, this love story, this feeling.
The story happened at Brokeback Mountain, somewhere in the middle of Wyoming and Texas where Ennis and Jack were living with their wife and children. Ennis' words truly expressed the oppression from the society: "Two guys living together? No way." Therefore, they have to stand living in this way, hiding their feeling, "once in a while" the isolated Brokeback Mountain became their only "dating" site. They are suffered; their marriage is suffered; what if they live together not getting married with their wife? The story ends with Jack's death. It's not that without his death the film can't end; it's that his death indicated the true situation for homosexuality.
It's a coincidence or arrangement that the film was taken in Canada where homosexuality is at least more recognized than most other countries? If homosexual love story is as beautiful as this mountain, it should be appreciated:
