teven Stowell's essay on Brokeback Mountain in The Oxonian Review includes the following:

On the surface, the film tells a tragic love story in the naturalistic, minimalist style for which Ang Lee is known. While working one summer on the mountain from which the film takes its title, two men, Jack and Ennis, fall in love during an era of brutal homophobia in rural 1960s America, but abandon their relationship in favour of traditional family lives. Several years later, their romance is reignited and the majority of the film explores how their relationships with each other and with their families suffer as a result of the inhibiting society in which they live -- as well as the internal homophobia from which both men suffer. Certainly, seen in this light, the film offers a bleak picture of the way things were and indeed still are for many homosexuals.
