BBM General Discussion 2

[gnash]

I found another reaction about a year old.

It's about 50 minutes long, and the channel is named Popcorn Roulette.  There are a few different reactors, and Jonathan is reacting to Brokeback Mountain.

Off topic, he's a hottie, but I don't know anything about him.

That was cool. Thanks for posting.

I’d love to see more first time reactions
to BBM now that’s it’s been 20 years.

^ I listened to his reactions as I could hear the film segment in the background while driving and knew what he was viewing at all times.  (As I'm sure anyone reading UBF can do!)  This reviewer's reactions seem genuine though I'd like more of them to have been in the YT version vs Patreon. He got most things right and his comments were usually dead-on. He did miss the reversed shirts in the end or maybe it was not in the YT rendering. Some of the comments are touching.   

It's really nice to see some "fresh" perspectives... this guy looks like he might been an infant or just a thought when the film was released.  Same comment for the two guys "reactions" you posted above this...  Nice to hear that generations take.  There is some hope remaining in the world.

Chuck, you are right! Quite so!        V.

Brokeback Mountain (2005) with Ang Lee at MSPIFF 44: Putting the camera in the center of your heart

Erik Larson, Life Reporter - April 15, 2025


“Tell you what, we coulda had a good life together, fuckin’ real good life! Had us a place of our own. But you didn’t want it, Ennis! So what we got now is Brokeback Mountain! Everything’s built on that, that’s all we got boy, fuckin’ all. So I hope you know that, if you don’t never know the rest! You count the damn few times we have been together in nearly twenty years and you measure the short fucking leash you keep me on, and then you ask me about México and tell me you’ll kill me for needing somethin’ I don’t hardly never get.”

This is the final film to be a part of the Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival’s (MSPIFF) tribute to the two time Academy Award winning director Ang Lee (who also made 2012’s “Life of Pi” and the 2000 film “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”) where Lee was able to introduce a screening of his legendary 2005 masterpiece “Brokeback Mountain.”

The plot starts in 1963 and follows two cowboys in rural Wyoming named Ennis Del Mar (played by the late Heath Ledger, who won an Oscar for 2008’s “The Dark Knight”) and Jack Twist (played by Jake Gyllenhaal, star of 2007’s “Zodiac”) who begin working as sheep herders on Brokeback Mountain throughout the summer. Jack and Ennis begin spending time with each other to pass the time, and soon fall in love. But because homosexuality was criminalized at the time, they went their separate ways after the season ended.
