ya i guess they do. with golden globe nominations and then the oscar nominations and then the actual award shows, i'm sure the hype will be built.

Wow it was REALLY good

I'm just scared, that the movie might suffer if it goes to a wide-release.

Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain," the belle of the ball so far this awards season, took home four honors at the 10th annual Satellite Awards, an event organized by critics formerly affiliated with the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn.

The movie won trophies Saturday for best motion picture drama, director, editing and song.

It is well deserving of the awards it is getting and the hype... I really enjoyed it from a straight point of view

Oh my God, this movie is WAY out of my expectation. I knew that I fall in love with the idea of the movie from the beginning. But when I got to the theatre, I was afraid that I might expect too much from this movie. Most of the time when I expect thing too much, it goes opposite.

Anyway, I went to see this movie with one of my best girl-friend. I have not told her how Crazy I am about this movie, reason because I want to see her feedback at the end of the movie. After we saw the movie, we have a discussion about it. And I told her what part that I love most about this movie is, at the end. When Ennis (Heath) open his closet/cabinet, where he hang Jack (Jake) clothes on the side of the door, which remind him that He always saw Jack first, with a picture of the Brokeback mountain on the side. Then he BUTTON JACK’S shirt. That bring tear to my eyes. But Guess what??? My friend ask me. “Is that all you see???” She told me that I should go back a bit earlier, when Ennis goes into Jack closet and discover the shirts, also see the arrangement of the shirts. Jack shirt was covered Ennis, which to her said that “Jack Loves Ennis”. But at the End of the movie, that “Ennis shirt cover Jack’s”. I can’t believe I missed that DETAIL. Just can’t believe it.

More likely I will go back to the theatre and see it again. I have to.

I can’t Rate this movie. This Is way way out of my expectation. First, I want to give lots and lots of credit for Ang Lee, who not only bring the movie to justice, but also implement some of his own culture/ custom in this project. Second, I want to give lots and lots of LOVE for the person who wrote this story. To me personally, this is the Number 1 Love Story I have ever seen on BIG SCREEN.

Additional news: http://www.ndtv.com/ent/newstory.asp...office&id=4241

it already passed the 15 million mark which is great because no one can say it's a flop now since they spent 14 million to make the movie.

I'm sad. I dont' think I'll be able to see this movie in the big screen. *cries*

So umm, to those who have seen the movie and read the short story, which is better?

****ing Ohions are homophobes so I doubt it'll be playing here. ^+^

^^^ One of my friend live near by Dayton. He said it will showing sometime next week at some selected Theatre.

It's starting out it's international release and it's doing pretty good. Hopefully word of mouth is good overseas as it is in the u.s.

Did you guys hear about how 1 theater in Utah backed out in the last minute to be playing the movie? it's pretty stupid:

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=1979&p=.htm

but hey it's making controversy which in turn helps the movie since it seems like it's not bad controversy.

Yup, also some place in Washington also do the same thing. Those Utah mormon needs to lighting up. Most of them are Gay anyway, the denial ones. Everyone knows that right???

I got back from this movie and it really really really really sucked

Cant Wait! ^^

I saw the movie and i hated it. The script is absolutely terrible. Everyone was amazing in it, acting wise...but the script sucked. You couldn't even understand a word heath ledger said. Besides the sex scenes and a couple other ones, no one scenes are important to the movie. It has absolutely no character development or any direction. I was really disappointed with the film, i was really excited to see it

I saw it this weekend and I don't get what the hype was all about. :-/ I'm not disappointed or anything, but... 7 nominations for what? lol

OMG IM GONNA SEE IT TOMORROW! Yay. ^_^

OMG I FINALLY SAW IT! This movie will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you realize that love is a beautiful thing. If you look pass the controversy and negativity, you will see two people that are in love no matter what obstacles may arise. Brokeback Mountain is definitely one of the best movies I've seen in awhile. Ang Lee did an AMAZING job as a director, and the movie was just overall beautiful. Jake and Heath were outstanding, and so were the supporting actors. They were perfect for their roles. I was hauntingly sucked in the movie, and was left speechless. It's been a long time since a movie has left me feeling so engaged. I definitely recommend that you see it and open up your eyes, whether you are gay or straight. It sent me chills up the entire time. Brokeback Mountain hit so close to home, and I cried like a baby. This movie has proven that love truly has no boundaries. Hauntingly beautiful! It is such a powerful movie. You can not leave this movie at the theater it follows you home and that is truly something. Go see it for yourself.

i didnt find anything about this movie funny... i think it was so sad

Aww DB, a couple of parts made me laugh... well, everyone laugh... there were little corny jokes hehe.

I will DEFINITELY be seeing this movie again and/or more. It's one of those movies that you can't leave behind in the threatre. It will keep you thinking for days. It's so damn good.
