Even if you haven't seen "Brokeback Mountain," you've definitely heard about this Oscar-winning drama. Based on a short story by Annie Proulx, the movie traces the intense and complicated relationship between Ennis and Jack, two cowboys who meet and fall in love on a job in 1960s Wyoming. Their passionate love affair is stymied by their own internal struggles and by the expectations of society at the time, making it pretty much impossible for them to be together. Although they both get married, start families, and even go years without speaking to each other, the connection between them never completely fades away.
