Broke Back Mountain10 years already!

"No one's gonna love you like me"
Already ten  years and no talk of a sequal. Not sure if it's in respect to Heath Ledgers' memory. Then againt in retrospect how could a sequal do justice to this incredible story? Take up where they left off? Twist the ending into a dream state or misunderstanding.

Reading the reviews it has gotten, it's strange that they have not considered it. If I read correctly it hit the $100,000,000. mark and is still rising.

Hollywood has cast Gays and Lesbians in films before with a sometimes comical or mocking tone(what the public expects of whom and what they think we are). Alot of the time we are in the background of the story; but as far as I know never as the central charachters to a Gay male Love story. (I might be misinformed.)

A truly heart wrenching story! Had been putting off seeing it till it came out on video and lucky I did! I watched it alone at home and went through an entire box of facial tissues. The finaly when Heath called Anne and learnt of Jakes fate, I let out a wail of Nooooo! Till this day my eyes well up with tears just thinking about it. I really cannot deal with violence and I guess I had my heart set on a happy ending, not this tragidy so close to possible reality.(Actually a simularly tragic murder happened to a Gay teenage boy years ago in Alberta I believe)

I will have to look up the authors name and see if she has written any other Gay oriented material. Being so satutrated with daily Hetero stories it is very refreshing to see my own world in print or DVD.

Hats off to the original story's writter and the producer for doing such an excellent job. The 3 prime actors Jake(My sweetheart), Heath(R.I.P.) and Anne were incredibly true in their portrayal of their charachters.

A must see for most. I am plannning to see it again and would love to have my own copy. A keepsake timeless love story.
