''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.

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.”
