I recently saw the new film "Brokeback Mountain," which is better known as 'The Gay Cowboy Movie.' The film stars Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal as, you guessed it, gay cowboys who share camping and fishing trips up on Brokeback mountain. It's hard enough for them to continue their monthly visits when, during this particular time period, homosexuality is shunned in American society, but to make matters worse both men are married. Ledger has a wife and two kids, while Gyllenhaal has a wife and a new born boy. The film captures the struggle the men must go through just to continue seeing each other, never mind avoid their desires to start a life together in public. The movie is fantastic and really plays with certain emotions and allows the audience to decide whether or not they believe their relationship is worth the trouble, or whether or not it is right for two men to have a lifestyle such as they do. I definitely think that the movie is worth seeing, but there are many people who will not like the movie because of their own personal views. Nontheless I highly recommend this film.
