SPOILER: Brokeback Mountain, don't read if you haven't seen it....
Okay, for all that saw the movie, in my opinion, it was SO over-rated. Heath Ledger mumbled his lines and wasn't convincing as a man struggling with his sexuality. No chemistry there between them and what Jack saw in Enis was impossible to grasp. He was a drunk and a loser, there wasn't a connection.

But here's the part I'm wondering about: Was it gay bashing that ended Jack Twist fate or was it just an imaginary deep seeded fear that Enis had when he heard that Jack died? That whole scene doesn't make any sense and I think discredits the film entirely. The whole Enis seeing what results in gay men negates real fears over imagined fears. The screen writers should have clarified that difference in my opinion. If the only thing people talk about is whether Jack was gay bashed or really died by a tire rim, the point of the film was lost. So, what do you all think really happened to Jack? Was he gay bashed or not?
