::[[User:Jpatt|Jpatt]], I'm guessing you're the wrong gender to appreciate Ledger's, uh, talents.  I loved him in ''Ten Things''.  In my house, we enjoyed comparing it to Shakespeare's ''Taming of the Shrew'', which it was based on.  We also enjoyed ''Knight's Tale'', especially all of the wonderful jousting scenes.  I hated ''Lords of Dogtown'', but the documentary it was based on, ''Dogtown and Z-Boys'', was great.  Ledger, though, did a pretty good job in ''Lords'', given a horribly-written movie.  I'm not a big movie lover, but I was familiar with Ledger well before ''Brokeback'', as were many other movie fans.  While he wasn't on everyone's radar, he was far from a no-name actor. [[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]], the problem with writing a summary/analysis of ''Brokeback'' without seeing the movie is that you may get the basic facts right, but without seeing it you may not get the tone right, or understand the nuances that made it a quite good ''and complex'' movie, regardless of its controversial subject matter.  In this movie, tone and nuance is everything.  For the record, I have seen the movie.  --[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 15:00, 7 October 2008 (EDT)

I'll expand my comments here, rather than engage in an edit war.  As noted above, I have actually seen the movie. --[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 15:18, 7 October 2008 (EDT)

* ''Brokeback Mountain is a drama movie from 2005 by Ang Lee'' - "Drama movie" is weird phrasing.  I'm not sure how to fix it, though.  "Is a romantic drama" would work, but leaves out that it is a movie.  Anyone have a better idea?

* ''Afterwards, they come to their senses and marry beautiful, dedicated and loving women.''  I would not have used "come to their senses" - the movie is way more complex than that.
