| "I Wish I Knew Hot To Quit You" Jake Gyllenhaal & Heat Ledger |
It's the last Hump Day & Chill of Pride Month Minions and we are gonna send it off with the iconic Brokeback Mountain starring the late Heath Ledger & Jake Gyllenhaal as gay cowboys, naturally.
Brokeback Mountain is regarded as a turning point for queer cinema and was critically acclaimed and was a huge box office success grossing $178 million worldwide on a $14 million dollar budget.
It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture and lost to the far inferior and undeserving Crash.
The story goes like this:
"In 1963, rodeo cowboy Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) and ranch hand Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger) are hired by rancher Joe Aguirre (Randy Quaid) as sheep herders in Wyoming. One night on Brokeback Mountain, Jack makes a drunken pass at Ennis that is eventually reciprocated. Though Ennis marries his longtime sweetheart, Alma (Michelle Williams), and Jack marries a fellow rodeo rider (Anne Hathaway), the two men keep up their tortured and sporadic affair over the course of 20 years."
So let's let out a big Hump Day & Chill ride em' cowboy for Brokeback Mountain shall we? Of course we shall!!!
