Some people I know don't really get what's good about this movie, but I'm telling you that Brokeback Mountain is one beautiful love story, especially if you can get past the notion that it's about two cowboys who has "done" it on the mountain. With no prejudice and regardless of gender, these two people found love in each other and they just had that connection. Ennis won't even be gay (and I don't think he is) without Jack. The society's imposition that stops them from pursuing real happiness - when you know as an audience that they are meant to be together - is heart breaking. And that final scene means everything. This movie tells us that you can never abandon your true love. You can put it behind your back, lock your heart in a case and throw away the key, but it will always find its way to remind you about what's real and true. This is definitely my second favorite film from Ang Lee.
