Beyond all the hype and late-night jokes lays a sad story about a forbidden love. Set in 1963 Wyoming, Ennis Del Mar (Ledger) and Jack Twist (Gyllenhall) are cowboys assigned to tend sheep on isolated Brokeback Mountain and, in the process, fall in love. Unselfishly conforming to societal norms, they each marry and raise a family, all while keeping their 20-plus-year affair a secret. Stellar performances, a haunting soundtrack, and beautiful cinematography make for an unforgettable story. Based on the short story by Annie Proulx. (Jack Kelley)
