Well, I'll jump in on this. I saw Brokeback Mountain and am really glad I did. For all the hype about it being a 'gay love story', it simply is a love story.

The movie didn't show anything that was a shocker as far as nudity or sex. It was done very discreetly.

The story focuses on how they met, had an affair then moves ahead many, many years in the future and they set a time to visit each other and find that the attraction is still there. However, they are both married with families.

I don't want to go on much more for those who haven't seen it but it is beautiful and you could have heard a pin drop throughout the theater during the entire movie. It is so beautifully written and acted that at the end I saw people leaving crying, along with myself, and many just standing not saying anything.

It is simply a beautiful, beautiful film and deserves the credit they are getting.

Hope that helps.
