Lmao "I haven't seen the film but I hate it" is so on brand for homophobes😂

I going to a conservative Christian school when I saw this movie and the only think I knew about gay people, was what I was told. Which wasn’t very nice things. I watched this movie at 13 and felt the love and romance and realized that gay people deserve the same treatment and rights as straight people. 💕 Edit: decided to realized

I remember having to explain to a straight friend that the reason Enis threw up as soon as he left Jack the first time was that he was so physically heartbroken but unable to articulate or process why. He didn't know what "being gay" was or what he was feeling or that he even COULD feel things like that, so his body just shut down. He became physically sick.

I watched Brokeback Mountain when I was too young to be watching it lol (15/16?) I remember my family members were complaining about the movie cause they remembered joker (Heath Ledger) starred in it. N I loved him as Joker, so I said I'll watch it in secret. I remember having my headset on, facing away from the door n even keeping the volume low still lol (I come from a black conservative/religious family, yes I know ironic,) so I had to be careful. I remember pressing play and being absorbed into the cinematography, the feelings, the suspense. I remember sobbing afterwards, I remember thinking "If I ever have kids and they are queer, I will protect with my life, I would love them with my everything." I remember feeling so horrible about hating my cousin who was gay and disconnected from the family. All because of something he couldn't control. I remember feeling so horrible because I realized what the queer community felt when ppl hated them, bashed them, scorned them for being just a bit different. Teenage me couldn't believe that queer people were being killed for who they loved or who they were. The line that always resonated with me is "I wish I knew how to quit you, ". It always makes me think, "Gosh, if it really were easy to not be gay, not be queer, why would he say that, why would millions of people just not be gay, not be trans, not be queer?" This movie broke me, it made me realise how wrong we were for hating people different from us. It made me dive into what the LGBTQ+ stood for. It made me reach out to my cousin and tell him I was sorry, it made me hug my other cousin when she came out as a lesbian. It made me realise just how human they were and not the Monsters that society had fooled us into believing. Because of this Movie, I am a different person, I've deconstructed and worked everyday to learn more and respect anyone different from me. Cause as the end of the day, we're all just human beings in a floating rock out in the universe. Brokeback Mountain made me an Ally. So for that alone, I would say it is Queer Art. (I'm crying writing this sorry for any mistakes).

I think the conversations around Brokeback mountain is a good example of bi erasure as well. I think the main characters were implied to be bi (at least one of them explicitly says that he likes women too), which adds another layer to the story. If they are both bi, they could've lived out their lives in straight passing relationships, but made the choice not to.

this made me want to go watch the movie again

I think Brokeback Mountain was the first movie I watched which explicitly portrayed a queer relationship. I'd seen many movies hint at queerness, but none which were centered around it like this. And this was at a time in my life where I knew I fell somewhere under the lgbtq+ umbrella, but wasn't sure how/where yet. And I remember feeling a bit alienated at all the jokes made about it. And I don't mean comedy, I mean people around me. A lot of these jokes were not aimed at the movie, they were aimed at queerness. The movie simultaneously made me want to come out, but also stay in the closet for how people talked about it. Which is a great reflection of what the story is about in the end. Great video, thanks for making me reflect on these things! 😄👍

This movie is timeless. One of Heath Ledger’s finest performances

I love how Heath defended it.

In 1963 it was not just "unthinkable" to be gay, it was illegal punishable by time in jail.

I'm SO excited to see more PRIDE content from you! Thank you, Gui!

When the film opened in the small, largely Republican farming/forestry community where I lived, seating in a 400-seat theater was reservations onl, and sold out four days. After the showing, a packed theater emptied out into the parking lot in total silence. There wasn't anyone who saw the film that wasn't affected by it, some were stunned, some were quietly sobbing, while others were devastated. On the drive home, my date and I had nothing to say. I haven't seen the film since its opening, but I suspect it would still have the same impact on me.

My first reaction was to think that the film is not queer art but that feels like gatekeeping. Another extremely good film exploring toxic masculinity, internalized homophobia, and social isolation is the film The Lighthouse which, just like Brokeback Mountain, was not (to my knowledge) made by LGBT+ people. To say that this film is not queer would be like if someone who is politically open made a film that had socialist themes, or that argued strong points of socialism (like the class warfare depicted in Seven Samurai). The film itself can be anything we see it as and BM is easily a film that, especially when it came out, was positively a queer film. sorry for the paragraph I tried to keep it short

your editing is so good!! it's a crime you have so little subscribers! another great video!

I've only seen clips of the movie and never knew it was based on a short story. Now I want to read the story and watch the movie after. Thanks for another great video! Also your editing is really good.

Great video. I was looking for an analysis of the movie on youtube and yours is very well made and researched 👏

I just found this movie on DVD a few months ago at our Goodwill and bought it. I remembered liking it and it came out when I was at Evergreen State College where I was the token straight, cis guy. It was a big deal along with the movie Boys Don’t Cry. I watched it after I bought it and….it’s really, really good. Beautifully filmed and acted by all. My only hangup was I knew it wasn’t going to end well (Oscar bait movie dealing with gay cowboys in the 60s.)

Fantastic work, Gui. As always. :)

Art is art. No matter who is the author and what it represents. Trying to sexualize it it's just silly. Very well-done video. Great analysis of the movie. Had watched the film but didn't know it was based on a novel and all the implications the film had in the American society.

I recently discovered this channel, liked and subscribed. Great content! Happy Pride Month to all.

Great job on breaking everything down from the short story to the movie 🎥

Keep it up Gui, your content is fantastic.

well done this came out my junior year in a Texas high school and I remember feeling so guilty watching it and it was one of my first experiences of anything that erratic I rented the DVD and watched with headphones on a portable dvd player 😂

this is what heaven looks like, thank you for making this

yes queer art it kickstarted the mainstreaming of lgbtq+ community

Hey!! Awesome video, I have a question. I'm currently writing an essay about Brokeback Mountain for college and I was wondering where you found the video of the interview you played at 22:29 - I have to cite it LOL. Thank you!!

This is one of the best movies ive seen. Well acted and directed. I bought a DVD and watch it whenever

I got a bible reading app ad before this

Ive not seen it, this is a very strong case for it, though I don't watch a tonne of movies so dunno, either way, really appreciate the exploration, it is wild to think it's been out so long.

This was a great video. I’m back as promised. You show a lot of potential. I’ll be sticking around❤

Another great video, Gui! I really appreciate your systematic and thorough approach and look forward to more LGBTQ+ content in the future. 😊❤️

I think the movie wasn’t intended to queer audience only, but also straight. Just as you said this movie shows up all the struggles queer couples usually go through (even nowadays), so I interpreted it in two ways, firstly is not to let fear hold us back from living as we want to or from the ones we want to to be with, and secondly to see how ignorance and intolerance harms others, as it cast them into something they don’t want to be in order to blend in. Brokeback Mountains is a beautiful movie i'd watch endlessly, that voices out that love has plenty of shapes and colors but it’s also something we all share overall, and it shouldn’t be denied away from others, because, what is wrong with being in love?

dude I fucking hate you for making me cry. I forgot how awful this movie was and now wanna see it for a second time!

For me, this movie is about masculinity. What is a man? Someone like Ennis who shuts down his feelings? Or Jack, a man who accepts and knows what he wants?

Just what I was looking for ty !

I watched this movie on the weekend and ended up rewatching it the next day and the day after that... Just to add, I'm a woman, and I could really feel the pain and heartbreak of both characters.

I was a closeted 17 year old growing up in a homophobic evangelical Christian culture when this film came out. I was not aware of the short story it was based on- this was when I was a kid, so I was unable to openly ask for things like that. After being forced into Christian torture conversion therapy the year prior, this film honestly saved my life. I was able to see the possibility of living a life where I was openly gay one day. It walked me off the ledge. Pun intended.

Beautiful video I only cried 10 times 🥲

27:20 if you email the authors most are happy to send you a copy! They don’t get paid if you buy it legally, plus there are other ways to get academic papers online for free *wink* *wink*

Whats funny is thats not even ang lees best gay movie, thats the wedding banquet. Seriously the wedding banquet is personally better and more interesting. To be clear not dissing brokeback mountain, just its weird how thats his second celebrated gay movie. And still a "scandal"?!

Haven’t seen the film but I love it

Great video.

I love this movie, I've seen it at least 100 times, and I have the book too. I don't believe in gay or lesbian or just straight, I believe in love. This story shows once again that love is not always easy. And I think Heath is absolutely right in the press conference, it is a beautiful love story.

The movie is beautiful, it’s just a love story, people should get over it.

A good individual!

You ate again 🥰

Amazing movie ❤

❤❤❤

Gosh, it's my first time hearing Heath with his Aussie accent and he sounds so sexy. Rest in Paradise, Heath! ❤️ See over my younger brother too tho 😢

Ram ranch

...real men follow their heart...no matter where it leads...VIVE LA LIBERTE!!!...

It is a good movie. I am cis. The scenery is beautiful too. I bought it a while back.

This is how I am when it comes to Gay Men... As long as you don't hit on me or as soon as you know I'm not Gay or I'm not interested, you'll walk away and as long as Gay men don't French Kiss each other in front of me or in public,... You/they can do anything they want with each other in the privacy of their Homes. There are certain gay guys out there that are super stubborn and super immature. They don't have a stop button or relax button. Not every gay male is mature & respectful. Just like straight people, there's different ranges when it comes to the LGBTQ. Ultimately if you are not interested in gay movies, stories, TV shows, music and etc then don't watch, listen & attend them. I did watch brokeback mountain only because I'm a fan of both Ledger & Gyllenhaal and I was curious about it and all it's hoopla. Very well acted movie. Both actors should of gotten the Oscar for it. Great story. Very Sad. It takes a real man to play a gay man. My hat off to both of them. Great Video btw.

there are two movies that changed your thinking. and this world. Schindler's List and Brokeback Mountain...

ill watch the movie and then watch this vid

"Of course I didn't watch the film. I read the screenplay and the shortstory, and I know what it's about because... of the media buzz around it." He literally just said you read the WHOLE story at least twice. I would think he knows what it's about because you basically experienced it twice as much as the average movie-goer -- more if he re-read them for personal interest. XD Either that or he's lying about having read the screenplay and shortstory, in which case he's not qualified to talk about them OR the movie. So either he super-consumed the story or he's irrelevant and doesn't know shit. He basically came up with a worse excuse for himself than just watching the damn film.

I have to disagree that some brokeback mountain jokes were made without intent, regardless of if they were "funny at the time." The clip example of the horses was from a family guy episode at least 10 years old and the joke is obviously homophobic disgust 😤😤😤

Nobody cowboys better than Jake and Heath

Thanks for the video. Homophobia is still a thing sadly.

When this film came out, I was in middle school and I was too young to see it in theaters. I remember everyone talking incessantly about the "gay cowboy movie" and it became the butt of so many preteen jokes in school. So much so that I got the impression the movie was goofy and farcical. I lived in a liberal state (Massachusetts), and I was young enough to think that because gay marriage was legal in my state, because shows like Will & Grace were on tv, homophobia wasn't really a problem anymore. When I finally was able to see the movie, I realized how wrong I was. I realized how disregarded and trivialized the queer experience still was. Because how could anyone see Brokeback Mountain and think of it as a joke? How could anyone watch that movie and feel anything but empathy for these characters? I realized that many people HADN'T seen it, and like me, had just listened to the jokers. This movie not only made me think more seriously about the queer experience, but it is the first movie I remember seeing that made me consider the art of filmmaking in general. Beforehand, movies were just entertainment to me, all about the happy ending, the feel good experience. This movie made me start to consider what made films good, what made stories compelling.

19:35 yeah that shits weird asf. look at how young those children are, they don’t even know what sexuality _is_ . why expose them to something like that at such a young age? shouldn’t we be trying to preserve our children’s innocence for as long as we can?

People don't understand that the jump from novel to screenplay to movie requires a lot of tweaking and is an art form. The trick is to capture the essence of the original while making it interesting, and more importantly, entertaining. A movie has to make money. Annie Proulx's clarification of what her short story is actually about would not make a good movie. The original story is very short and what Diana Ossana and Larry McMurtry did is amazing. Of course, Ang Lee's cinematography brings Big Sky Country to life. Thanks for your excellent analysis of this groundbreaking film. I can't believe it's been almost 20 years since it came out.

This made me empty.. just watched it

this movie broke me as a 13 year old
