Jake Gyllenhaal Shares Memories Of Filming Brokeback Mountain | PEN | People

Brokeback Mountain is the saddest movie I have ever seen. Everyone lost, there were no winners. I left the theatre feeling very sad and it lasted for a long time.

[@jackgreen5627]

Brokeback Mountain is the greatest love story of all time.

[@linajurgensen4698]

You can see the sadness in his eyes.

[@fatimagic1365]

"he's the seducer" i hate when people say this. obviously jack was more comfortable with his sexuality because he'd had more experience then ennis did. but i hate that most straight audiences take away from this film is that jack somehow "turned ennis queer", or was more "proud" of his sexuality than ennis. it's so ignorant of clear history and what it was like to be queer during the time in which the film is set. yes, ennis initiates the relationship but it's not like he was a predator or something. he and ennis were clearly getting vibes off of each other for a while, and ennis was too scared to act on them because of what he'd seen happen to openly gay people. a lot people tend to forget that sadly, ennis was right. jack and ennis couldn't just drop everything and start a life together. especially since for the better part of their almost 20 year relationship they both had children to think about.

Can’t believe Jake didn’t get an Oscar for this I mean come on. Incredible film and acting and everything right down to the beat. These two men poured their souls into their characters.

[@Aannan]

Gyllenhaal played that role so beautifully. It's all in the eyes. Once Jack realises that Ennis is never gonna make it, all hope is drained from his face.

[@kembalibersatuchannel3249]

The sadness part is when ennis found blood shirt .. i can imagine how much he loved ennis 😞.. now, i still cant move from brakeback mountain film.. seriously 😞

Jake has certainly changed a lot after heath's death. His interviews were comic and fun with heath but without him he tries to collect the pieces of his broken heart.

[@VKspanish]

I'm just going to the corner and cry a little, ok? I miss Heath and I didn't know him.

[@ani2756]

Heath also spoke about being extremely sad after shooting Brokeback. He even said he needed professional help to get over it😔

[@hansmex2116]

Brokeback Mountain left me devastated, it’s been 2 weeks since I watched it and lord I still cry when I rewatch a few scenes, no other film made me feel like this

[@witdajuice6763]

Definitely one of the best, if not the best movie I've ever seen. And incredibly sad; I think I felt sad for weeks after watching it for the first time.

[@LauXstamp]

The beginning question was such a good question! As a journalist it's refreshing to hear different questions about this movie.

[@williamdillard5060]

I had just turned 60 and set in my ways when at a yard sale I ran across this movie "Brokeback Mountain". The lady selling the movie asked me had I seen it and I said "That's a gay movie I don't watch that kinda stuff". She said it was a sad love story with beautiful, mountainous scenery, of which I like. She then said if I didn't like it she'd give me my 3 bucks back. Great movie.

[@DiogoLeonardoXavier]

I watched the film a week ago, I can not stop thinking about the beautiful and tragic love story that the film unfolds, this sincere love that so strongly comes to hurt, suffocates and that lasts for a lifetime, suffocated by fear, I identify myself too much as many people out there who also go through the same situation as Enis and Jack

[@cayleyshoemaker3048]

I love him so much, such an amazing person inside and out, I want to meet him one day and give him the biggest hug❤️

[@shahjmir]

Wow the question about Heath's death really took Jake by surprise! He looks so sad... Love Jake! RIP Heath <3

[@Amanda-md2yy]

Just watched this movie for the first time a few days ago. First time actually watching one of Heath Ledger’s movies. I was always aware of who he was but never took the time to look into his work. Not sure why. He was truly phenomenal at everything he did. Been mourning his passing and it’s been weighing on me heavily. Hard to do daily activities. I’ve watched so many interviews with him and the documentary on him. I feel terrible for Jake….truly hope he is okay. Time does help ease pain, but it doesn’t fully go away. Heath really isn’t someone easy to simply put out of your mind. A passing that has a real lingering effect.

[@barefootlovers]

I’ve seen brokeback once. I never want to see it again. Too heart breaking. Beautiful.

[@tessabingus]

when will u guys realize that maybe jake doesn’t want to talk about heaths death 😐 like u do realize they were very close right and it probably still hurts him??
