    The Finest Hour for Two Young Actors
    I have viewed Brokeback Mountain a total of three times on a 50 inch plasma. I spaced my views almost six months apart so I could grasp more completely and without prejudice, how I would rate this flick.

    It is beyond a doubt an American classic and looking back I regret so profoundly the death of Heath, who played Enis. The amount of acting skill and diversity it took to do such a touching and completely honest job, makes this young man, Heath Ledger, a legend.

    The scenes in the Brokeback were beautiful and allowed me to imagine somehow I was transformed back in time watch these young men.

    The truth is neither one of the characters was entirely gay, rather bisexual, but they did find each other as their own natural soul mates.

    Unfortunately cultural prejudice and homophobia prevented them from doing what Jack Twist had dreamed, ranching together on his father's spread.

    The final scenes are absolutely acted with such depth of character, the viewer is taken to tears. The Brokeback will not have Jack's ashes, since even in death, the culture denies him his final request, his ashes spread upon the Brokeback.

    Many of the bigots who have posted here on this fine cinema should be ashamed as they bray their ignorance for all to read.

    A fine film and probably one of the top love stories of all time in film.
