The best LGBT movie I saw BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN 2005

 "Brokeback Mountain" is a 2005 film directed by Ang Lee. It is based on a 1997 short story of the same name by American writer Annie Proulx.

It is a Drama film, LGBT, set at the beginning of the same in 1963, which is about two young cowboys, Ennis del mar and Jack Twist who are hired to take care of a herd of sheep on a mountain. There they fall in love but can't bring themselves to be together. The years go by, each one makes his life in a conventional way, that is to say with a wife and children. However, neither of them forgot about the other, and so they get together from time to time in desolate places. This they do for twenty years.

Jack proposes to Ennis to move in together, but Ennis does not accept for fear that something bad could happen to both of them. Two men living together in the 1960s was not a good idea.

Even though years and years go by, their love for each other is still latent. I found the way they handled the subject very touching. You have to put yourself in the era, the world was different, it was normal for a man to like a woman, not another man. The price for being openly homosexual was in many cases too high. And that is why the protagonists act the way they act. Going so far as to ignore the feelings and dignity of others, as is the case with Ennis del mar's wife.

This movie is not horror or science fiction, in fact it is quite far from what I usually see, but I still did not want to pass up the opportunity to recommend it to you.

I understand that the story at the time caused a lot of impact in literary circles, and at the time it was read by actor Randy Quaid, who would later participate in the movie playing the boss of the two cowboys protagonists. He said, "I saw the magazine at the gym, and I got so hooked on the story that I stole it, took it home to finish reading."

There are some differences between the story and the film, one of these being the fact that in the film it was decided to go a little deeper into the characters, as in the story the theme was raised and then jumped to a jump 20 years later.

Another difference is about the appearance of the protagonists, in the story it is about two ugly men, lacking education and manners, poorly fed and one of them had bad teeth, they were outcasts. While in the movie they look more hegemonic and attractive.
