Brokeback Mountain Brings the Drama to Blu-ray on March 3rd

You can bring home one of the most talked-about films of the 21st Century home on Blu-ray this March. Brokeback Mountain will be released on Blu-ray on March 2. We don't have any cover art, pricing details or special features listings at this time, but we'll surely update this story as soon as we get more information. The film stars Heath Ledger, Jake Gylenhaal and Michelle Williams.

Early one morning in Signal, Wyoming, Ennis del Mar (Heath Ledger) and Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) meet while lining up for employment with local rancher Joe Aguirre (Randy Quaid). The world which Ennis and Jack have been born into is at once changing rapidly and yet scarcely evolving. Both young men seem certain of their set places in the heartland - obtaining steady work, marrying and raising a family - and yet hunger for something beyond what they can articulate. When Aguirre dispatches them to work as sheepherders up on the majestic Brokeback Mountain, they gravitate towards camaraderie and then a deeper intimacy.

At summer's end, the two must come down from Brokeback and part ways. Remaining in Wyoming, Ennis weds his sweetheart Alma (Michelle Williams), with whom he will have two daughters as he ekes out a living. Jack, in Texas, catches the eye of a rodeo queen Lureen Newsome (Anne Hathaway). Their courtship and marriage result in a son, as well as jobs in her father's business.

Four years pass. One day, Alma brings Ennis a postcard from Jack, who is en route to visit Wyoming. Ennis waits expectantly for his friend, and when Jack at last arrives, in just one moment it is clear that the passage of time has only strengthened the men's attachment. In the years that follow, Ennis and Jack struggle to keep their secret bond alive. They meet up several times annually. Even when they are apart, they face the eternal questions of fidelity, commitment and trust. Ultimately, the one constant in their lives is a force of nature - love.

Brokeback Mountain was released December 9th, 2005 and stars Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Randy Quaid, Valerie Planche, Michelle Williams, Anne Hathaway, David Trimble, Linda Cardellini. The film is directed by Ang Lee.

    Dark Knight was by far Heath's best performance. This was not. Just because something is controversial or different doesn't make it Oscar-material or a great performance.

    I haven't seen the film, so I've really got nothing to say, I just wanted to point out to JR that the phrase is "With all DUE respect." Have a nice day ladies and gents.

    I made it through the entire film and it was a struggle. To me it was rather boring, too long and drawn out. Do not understand all the hype. I have nothing against the 'subject matter', I just did not think the film was great.

    Meh. This movie is ground breaking, but not as good as it's hyped up to be. It's gimmick is the only thing that caused a stir.

    The Dark Knight was Ledger's finest performance.

    Will be buying day one. This movie is phenomenal. It was robbed of its deserving Oscar from "Crash." Just read the Entertainment Weekly article on Ledger and found out that he did not want to win the nomination for best actor, and was relieved he didn't. Would have liked to see him accept his Golden Globe for "The Dark Knight" because he would not have wanted that either (or the eventual Oscar that he is going to win). Just a great guy, such a shame. This is definitely his finest performance.
