2005: “Brokeback Mountain” (dir. Ang Lee)

From the start, Ang Lee’s $13 million gay romance wowed festivalgoers and reviewers; there had never been a gay cowboy movie, and while the indies had supplied gay romances to the art house circuit for years, and gay series like “Queer as Folk” and “Will & Grace” were pulling big numbers on TV, there hadn’t been a mainstream gay love story since 1982 bomb “Making Love.” When “Brokeback Mountain” opened in theaters, movie audiences had never been confronted with a gay western. New York indie producers James Schamus and David Linde, accustomed to setbacks in making challenging material, had been trying to make “Brokeback” for years and brought Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana’s adaptation from Annie Proulx’s 1997 short story with them when they took over Universal specialty division Focus Features in 2002. “Brokeback” got made because of the emotional power of the material.

A tragic romance set in the ’60s and ’70s, “Brokeback” is about two lovers who can’t overcome the obstacles to achieving a permanent union. The two rough-hewn ranch hands (Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal) can express themselves physically, in secret, but they have no words for their feelings. They both suffer. And they ruin their lives. The movie scored $177 million worldwide and eight Oscar nominations and three wins, for Director, Adapted Screenplay, and Score. But the Academy wasn’t ready to give the movie Best Picture. That honor went to “Crash.” —AT
