Finally I could manage to go to the cinema here in Italy, and I am so glad of the good choice, Brokeback Mountain.
Although right now I am missing a lot of cinema actuality, I had heard so much about Brokeback Mountain which has been very awarded and holds a long list of nominations to the Oscar awards. Let’s see…
The nominations are in the main categories, that are: best film, director, actors, actress, photography, adapted script and original soundtrack.

The music and photography are really good, even thought I do not like westerns, I found a great atmosphere. Ang Lee, director born in Taiwan, is very well know for films such as Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, that got recognition in an Oscar edition some years ago.

What can I say about the cast! The two main actors are amazing in their different characters. They are Heath Ledger (in the role of Ennis del Mar) and Jake Gyllenhaal (in the role of Jack Twist), and besides their beauty, through their magnificence performance you can feel the emotions they show without needing words.

Basically, Lee is carefully telling a love story, that is a gay love story, what in the deep America of 60’s and 70’s means certainly a hidden love. Further, is a true love, long-lasting love, but impossible love. Two men living their stereotyped lives while loving each other in Brokeback Mountain.

A lot has been said about this film, even has been censured in some countries. Hopefully things are changing, might not all around the world, but at least in Spain homosexuality is currently treated better and better.

If you want to know more about, there is even a blog (in Spanish), either you can visit the official web page of Brokeback Mountain.
