This is great. Much sooner than I expected since it had been released on HD.
Sorry it's a simple dup of the HD release, it'd been nice if they added some stuff, but maybe some day.
i am completely... (t)
the austrian TV is showing our film on sunday 22th (call it coincidence.. ??? ) at 8 pm.. i can't believe it..
BUT.... there's a big but there.. it says in the program duration 120 min, while we know it's 130 min... so.. :s) i wonder if they dare cut it like they did in italy - airing it at sunday prime family time? :s)
i have my weapons armed in case they do... ^^)
i can understand how angry you are... :ghug:
no, here at least programs all show it, with pictures and good texts, not rubbish as i feared... :-\\
and then i saw the first TV trailer last night.. and they showed the reunion kiss... so i am hopeful they won't cut anything....
(needless to say that even at that short trailer i started to sob :\'( it was just the emotion to actually see it on state TV... what brought my son to the exclamation "what? after having it seen for 27 times now you start to cry at the TRAILER?" ;D
wow!!!! (t)
ok, AUSTRIAN TV has not cut anything.... and apart of being in german :i we enjoyed a perfect vision of the entire film... <^(
now let's see if there are reactions...
Since it was the same TV channel in Germany, the same goes for Germany. No cuts. I'm proud of them. ^f^
It was the first time I saw it in German. It was really odd and I have to say I like it in English a lot better.
Thanks, Thomas, for the links. I read al three reviews and they brought tears to my eyes. It's hard to believe over 3 years have passed, but then again our forum has been going strong that long too.
...Over a decade later in 2005, Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger not only got Oscar consideration for their roles in “Brokeback Mountain,” both got significant career boosts as a result of the movie, which included not just kissing but highly explicit sex scenes...

No worries lorren yes it was posted here first but your nice post is worth a (very) little work for me, I moved the posts from notice for all and merged them here. :)
As we all know, at the 2006 Academy Awards Brokeback Mountain joined the ranks of masterpieces that have been snubbed at the awards but have endured as classics, while the films to which they lost have been all but forgotten. I personally think that the loss of the best picture Oscar was a blessing in disguise for the film: 1) it added poignancy to the story by highlighting the homophobia that exists even to this day, in liberal California and within an industry that prides itself on its supposedly liberal attitudes, and 2) the publicity generated by the resulting backlash likely drew a larger audience to the flim.
I believe that the Academy was stung by the outrage that greeted the loss of the Best Picture Award, and partly in an effort to redeem itself and show its evolving attitudes, it awarded the Best Actor award to Sean Penn for Milk last year. Milk had some of the more explicit gay love scenes we’ve seen yet in a mainstream movie, and I think we can recognize BBM as a trailblazer that allowed this award to happen.

and isn't that the truth? <^(
[...]While I've been counting down the Top 31 TV Shows of the Decade, my movie-centric colleagues Gregory Ellwood and Drew McWeeny handled the big screen, with Greg offering his Top 25 of The Aughts and Drew doing an exhaustive Top 50....
Someday, people will just be able to appreciate the sincere feelings behind this doomed love story, made additionally tragic after Ledger's passing. This was truly his best performance, even if Oscar came posthumously and for more flamboyant work. And Gyllenhaal is his equal. Beautiful score and cinematography as well, plus an understatedly lovely turn from Michelle Williams.
