On the TV program this week, find one of the masterpieces of American cinema, who moved everyone when he was released 20 years ago.
Some films permanently mark the spectators by their audacity, their sensitivity or the emotion they give off. So much so that years later, they remain timeless classics many times broadcast on television or on streaming platforms. This is the case of an American drama, which continues to upset the public, 20 years after its exit in the cinema.
The readers of Linternate are conquered by this dramatic film, since they gave it the note of 4.3/5 (out of 871 opinions). Thanks to the precise and intense games of the actors, but also thanks to his delicacy and his staging, he returned the spectators since his release, 20 years ago. “This film has changed my life,” reacts one of our users in the commentary section, when another says “not yet recovered”. A third describes it as “great love film”.
The secret of Brokeback Mountain is probably one of the most passionate and heartbreaking love stories of the seventh art indeed. Released in 2005, this feature film allowed the filmmaker Ang Lee (Pi, tiger and dragon odyssey…) to receive the Oscar for the best achievement. The film also obtained the Oscar for best music and the best script adapted in 2006. It also won the Golden Globe in the same year for the best dramatic film, but also the Golden Lion at the Venice Mostra a few months earlier.
From, The secret of Brokeback Mountain has become a must. This drama follows the secret romance of two cowboys that work together for a summer in the mountains of Wyoming, in 1963, when homosexual relations were still taboo and even prohibited in many states. Despite the passion, their paths separate and they each meant a family on their side. Four years later, they meet, and their feelings have not changed …
Served by sumptuous landscapes and magnificent music, The secret of Brokeback Mountain owes a lot to the intense and overwhelming interpretation of its two main actors, the late Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight) a jake Gyllenhaal (Donnie Darko, Zodiac…). Faced with them, we also find the actresses Anne Hathaway and Michelle Williams.
