Brokeback Mountain, released in 2005, is celebrated as a landmark queer film. In a recent Vanity Fair interview for its 20th anniversary, Jake Gyllenhaal reminisced about a touching moment at a screening when a fan expressed gratitude after seeing the film eleven times in just ten days. Gyllenhaal highlighted the profound impact the film continues to have on audiences. Directed by Ang Lee, the movie follows the complex romance between cowboys Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar, featuring the late Heath Ledger and earning several prestigious accolades.
"And sat down, and the lights came up, and a man stood up, and the movie had been out for a week and a half, and he said, 'I just want to say, this is my eleventh time seeing this movie.'"
"I thought, 'Eleven times, in ten days?' And I remember that washing over us. The profound realisation of the profundity of this thing."
