''Brokeback Mountain'' became the "buzz" that everyone was talking about in 2005 and people were admonished{{fact}} for not having seen it and not being "open-minded" to a "different" love story.  In that respect, the [[advertising]] concealed the theme of [[homosexuality]] from the public, merely referring to it as a modern day "love story" and concentrating on the appealing rugged cowboy element and picturesque landscapes.

Two young, lesser-known actors ([[Heath Ledger]] and [[Jake Gyllenhaal]]) took on the main roles, since sensible and respected actors would not touch a project like this. An interview with the San Francisco Bay Times noted, <blockquote>Though the director admits making Brokeback Mountain presents a certain professional risk for all involved, he does not find the act particularly “brave” of his stars. “They’re actors,” he notes. “Of course they want juicy parts.”  “I’m not their [Ledger and Gyllenhall's] manager. I don’t care if this movie dooms the rest of their careers,” he half-jokes. “All I cared about was that they performed for me.” }}
