- everybody has a brokeback -

The highly anticipated movie: Brokeback Mountain, has received notable accolades at the recent Venice International Film Festival. An interview excerpt from At the Movies:

JAKE GYLLENHAAL: We have this idea of what love is, and everyone says, "Love has no bounds." And we all subscribe to that idea. And you can read it in cards, you know, like, it's become such a cliché that we don't really believe that, because when it comes really down to "love has no bounds", we don't buy it. We all stay within a form, I'm speaking for myself. I stay within a form of, like, is that OK to do or is that OK to do?

And this movie was like, it has no bounds. Like, these aren't, in my belief, these aren't two, like gay guys. These are two people who fall in love. And, you know, from the environment that they're in, which is incredibly lonely, and, you know, they find each other.

It is very admirable that there're actors and directors constantly pushing the envelope these days, and coming from Hollywood, that's even more refreshing.

Brokeback Mountain is directed by Ang Lee and has been adapted from a novel by Annie Proulx.
