positive · AI labelView post →The gayest part of Brokeback Mountain for me was not the actual film, but 18 year old me, frozen in my seat, gasping, completely shocked by a topless Anne Hathaway

neutral · AI labelView post →We had around 40-50 people show up for the Monday afternoon screening of BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, which is excellent for an old film on a weekday in Newfoundland. Our audience was totally engaged and I didn't notice a flash of anyone checking their phone which is a rarity these days. I miss Heath Ledger
positive · AI labelView post →You know what was a good movie, was Brokeback Mountain.
positive · AI labelView post →A mediocre film that provided a handy excuse for old homophobes in the movie industry to deprive Brokeback Mountain of the Best Picture award it deserved.
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched 225 movies in 2025. Here's my rating and two* sentences on each with my thoughts (Part 2: A-P). I watch a lot of movies, I don’t necessarily have a yearly goal however I like keeping a record, so here is what I watched with some thoughts [Link to Part 1 (2025 movies)](https://lemmy.world/post/41059248) - My rating scale is .5-5, and my review philosophy is “how well does the movie succeed at what it is trying to do?” - Thus Pacific Rim would be rated highly, whereas Transformers…
neutral · AI labelView post →Today's #movie recommendation is "Brokeback Mountain". Robbed of a Best Picture win, this movie is a brilliant meditation on love, oppression, self-loathing, desire, & loss. Deliberately paced, this low-budget art-house movie features a stunning performance by Heath Ledger, & epic cinematography.
positive · AI labelView post →Sometimes I still think about all the jokes and memes that were made about Brokeback Mountain. About a movie that was quiet and touching, serious and heartbreaking. But all there was was jokes. ITs FuNnY bEcAuSe ItS gAy! The early 2000s were vile!
positive · AI labelView post →My daughter and her friend just bought tickets to whatever animated movie is in theaters right now so they could sneak into a Brokeback Mountain anniversary screening and I think that’s beautiful.
positive · AI labelView post →Without saying Brokeback Mountain, fav Jake Gyllenhaal film?
neutral · AI labelView post →This is so fantastic! @thegrandcinema.bsky.social is the theater I mention in the opening of my @metroweekly.bsky.social cover story about first seeing Brokeback Mountain two decades ago. I’m so happy to see an independent cinema like the Grand flourishing. There’s no better place to see a movie.
positive · AI labelView post →This is definitely his best role with Brokeback Mountain coming a close second; I cried watching that movie and the bravery it took to take that role in the atmosphere of that time was incredible.
positive · AI labelView post →Went to the 20th Anniversary screening of Brokeback Mountain tonight. Still such a heartbreaking and beautiful film. I still cry so much 🥹
positive · AI labelView post →so many feelings about the whole Hudson Williams Connor Storrie phenomenon. I genuinely almost can't process it. I remember Brokeback Mountain and the public reaction. I remember Heath Ledger refusing to present at the Oscars when the film was nominated because their script was homophobic. Man.
neutral · AI labelView post →Yall, I just learned my (now departed) uncle was a f*ggot! He said to my aunt: “Have you ever seen the movie Brokeback Mountain? Well, in high school, me and Paul S**** were kind of like that.” I am screaming.

A critical and commercial success, Brokeback helped queer films reach more mainstream audiences and it often features on Best Film lists.
neutral · AI labelView post →Morning all. Watched Brokeback Mountain last night. What a movie, it completely made sense of my life as a gay man. I still struggle with love and it’s meaning but this opened my eyes. Have a good day and it’s beans on toast for dinner 😂😘❤️😍🌈
positive · AI labelView post →Brokeback Mountain celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. I remember seeing it in the theater. I didn't want to go and see yet another sad, AIDS, gays dying, beaten or drugged up film. My ex convinced me it was a love story and it was, just not the one I thought I was finally going to get. 😢

neutral · AI labelView post →Today's movie recommendation is "Gods Own Country". Released in 2017, this quiet, contemplative movie is a more graphic, more modern, more British version of "Brokeback Mountain" with a happier ending. Loneliness, longing... and a love found in a rural Yorkshire village against all odds. #Movies

positive · AI labelView post →Second film watched - “The History Of Sound” A beautiful and affecting film. Dare I compare it to Brokeback Mountain - but it has the same tone - a great love that develops whilst hiking around rural Maine while recording authentic folk songs on wax cylinders. A film about music as well as love.

positive · AI labelView post →Good. Too bad foreign films rarely can. Japan has been kicking Disney's asses for years in the world of animation, but are rarely regarded. Furthermore, animated films must compete in the animation category, which is typically Disney's participation trophy. Furthermore, the Academy doesn't sit around and watch movies. Nominations are bought, not earned. They're not even bought, they're bid upon. So there are only so many slots, and the top donors are picked. The academy (which includes a lot…
