"ng Lee has made a career of deciphering the hidden codes and strictures of various societies, so it isn't surprising that this Taiwan-born director revolutionized the big Hollywood weeper with his beautifully observed gay love story Brokeback Mountain.''

"C" is cathartic

ringing up Ennis's "fishing trips" at Thanksgiving dinner after years of suffering in silence, was a cathartic outburst for Alma.

"E" is eclipses

rokeback Mountain has been described as "one of the most humane films ever, one that eclipses gender issues and tells a beautifully understated tale with a poet's eye and a tragic undertone of yearning."

One of the greatest, saddest, most heartbreaking films ever made
