Short description

In 1960s Wyoming, two men develop a strong emotional and sexual relationship that endures as a lifelong connection complicating their lives as they get married and start families of their own.

What's left behind the scenes

  • During the filming of the July 4th (Independence Day) celebration scene in Fort Macleod, extras were instructed to behave as if their hometown hockey team, the Calgary Flames, had just won the Stanley Cup.
  • As Ennis's wife is about to leave the supermarket with her children, their youngest daughter knocks over cans from a shelf. The manager says he will clean it up. And in the next shot, the cans are intact, as if nothing happened.
  • Sienna Miller could have played Larin.
  • Joel Schumacher and Gus Van Sant were considered as candidates for the director's chair.
  • The film is based on Annie Proulx's short story "Brokeback Mountain," which was first published on October 13, 1997, in the periodical “The New Yorker.”
  • When the foreman appears in the pasture with bad news about Uncle Jack, Jack is chopping wood and places a log on a stump at that moment. As the foreman is leaving, we see that the log is gone.
  • Matt Damon was offered one of the leading roles in the film, but he declined, believing that participation in this project could damage his career.
  • The first draft of the script was prepared by Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana in the late 1990s, but it never received financial support.

  • The first draft of the script was prepared by Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana back in the late 1990s, but it never found financial backing.
  • Alma Jr. (Ennis's daughter) has blue eyes at a very young age. Several years later, the grown-up girl has brown eyes.
  • In an interview, Gyllenhaal said that during the filming of the kiss, they kissed so passionately that he thought Heath Ledger would break his nose.
  • During the filming of one scene, Heath Ledger had to jump into a lake naked. The director later decided to remove all "nudity" shots from the final version of the film. However, ubiquitous paparazzi managed to obtain several photographs of Heath from the set. Soon these scandalous pictures appeared on the internet and in the "yellow press."
