Wow has it really been 20 years? I feel old.
I remember when it first came out and everyone acted like it was a dirty movie. But it's still one of the best romance movies I've ever seen.
That phone call screen between Anne Hathaway and Heath Ledger was so good.
Also RIP Heath Ledger.
As a kid of around 10 when the movie came out, observing the circus around this movie passively from Europe was the first encounter with homophobia that I was ever somewhat aware of. I had grown up being told by adults that people are free to love whoever they want, and I never really saw any reason to doubt that premise. Watching the entire adultsphere have a complete meltdown over two cowboys kissing or something was deeply confusing.

Similarly to The Crying Game which Brokeback Mountain is closer to than it is to today.
I was a preteen when the crying game came out and I kept thinking the character was a man dressed as a woman. I think it’s because I was more concentrated on primary sexual characteristics to identify people’s gender at the time because of my age. Obviously, I saw the movie way too young but it’s an interesting perspective that the twist didn’t exist for me.
After July 24, 2025, the release of Brokeback Mountain will have been closer to the Chernobyl disaster
