Brokeback Mountain (2005)
The collection of short stories Close Range by Annie Proux is a great book. All the short stories lead up to the last one, which is by far the best, Brokeback Mountain, about two range hands who slowly realize their undlying love for each other. It's a gay cowboy love story, I know what your thinking, but anyone who's read it agrees, it's a great story.
Well now the unthinkable has happened. It's been made into a full length feature movie, by the guy who made Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Ang Lee. It stars two very popular actors. (Hit the title to see the imdb listing).
The film of course will get A LOT of attention when released. It will be buit up into an amazing filme when advance word is it's a good one. It was filmed in Calgary. I wonder if Shel will like it. Cowboys kissing just sends a really mixed up message!

I had no idea that a movie was in the works. You know how much I love that collection. And I am glad to see Jake G. as one of the leads. For sure it's hard to get your cowboy hat around rangehands in love but in the end it's about just that. Love. And there are lots of kinds of love.
Rodger Ebert started his review of this film with "This film has OScar nomination all over it!" The hype has begun
