- TanalienJanuary 9, 2025Brokeback Mountain’s emotional thrust is derived from depicting characters as they exist – with no interpretive strings from the film attached. As Harper Lee's beloved character, Atticus Finch, says in her novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view … until you climb in his skin and walk around in it." Brokeback Mountain transports mainstream audiences into a familiar world with familiar faces, but through an unfamiliar perspective that enables them to experience life from another point of view. In the process, the performances of an ensemble cast, a tragic story, and subtle directorial vision culminate to produce a film with the ability to shift attitudes on how gay people are thought about and treated, simply because the audience wills it so. The powerful question that naturally arises from the film is “Isn’t their expression of love equal to mine?”
