Brokeback Mountain (2005)

The Queer Gaze

Conrad and Joe relaunch The Queer Gaze as a podcast with our first theme: Internalized Rural Homophobia.

For our "Popular" pick, we're revisiting Ang Lee's 2005 adaptation of Brokeback Mountain, starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Up for discussion: aggressive make-outs, casting straight actors in gay roles, that iconic score, and the legacy of the film within queer cinema circles.
