"To simply call Brokeback Mountain a gay western is to deny the core of the movie’s message.  Sure Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger) and Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) are men.  But the struggle they face is not one exclusive to homosexual relationships.  Rather, their struggle is a human condition.  It is a struggle of strength and faith in who you are and your ability, your courage, to live up to your potential.  Though the fact that this ranch hand and rodeo cowboy also happen to love each other deeply is as central to the story as their affair is, it is not anywhere near the whole story.  It underscores their pain and the loss they’ve had throughout their entire lives."
