Brokeback Mountain Blog

I had only seen certain parts of Brokeback Mountain before so I was pretty excited to view the entire movie and compare it to the short story. The short story was told over a long period of time but the movie seemed to last a lot longer than I thoughted. The movie was overall a really good well written and directed movie. It was also very graphic. Some parts caught me off guard but there was a lot more to the movie and the two characters, Jack and Ennis, than just physical attraction. They actually had really strong feelings for each other but it seemed like they could just never get their timing right enough to be together. I felt really bad for Ennis' wife throughout the whole movie because she seemed like such a great wife and mom. On the other hand, I didn't really feel as back for Jack Twist's wife because she was very stand offish during their whole marriage and it seemed as thought she was more interested in running her father's business than in their relationship. Overall, the book was very consistent to the book and was a very interesting movie. It also broke the boundaries having a pair of homosexual cowboys as the main characters.
