Brokeback Mountain Blu-ray
Universal Studios | 2005 | 134 mins | Rated R | Mar 10, 2009
Brokeback Mountain(2005)Drama | Romance | Western     Early one morning in Signal, Wyoming, Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist meet while lining up for employment with local rancher Joe Aguirre. 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 they 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, with whom he will have two daughters as he ekes out a living. Jack, in Texas, catches the eye of rodeo queen Lureen Newsome. 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. For more details about Brokeback Mountain on Blu-ray, see the Brokeback Mountain Blu-ray Review Brokeback Mountain Blu-ray, Video Quality  Filled to the brim with luscious photography and stunning western vistas, Brokeback Mountain is truly breathtaking on Blu-ray. The entire film is bathed in a patina of earthy colors that perfectly capture the story’s natural surroundings. The film’s cinematographer, Rodrigo Prieto, received an Academy Award nomination for his work on Brokeback Mountain; it’s a truly remarkable visual experience. Encoded via the VC-1 compression codec at full 1080p resolution, while maintaining the film’s original aspect ratio of 1.85:1, Brokeback Mountain has finally received a truly faithful home video treatment. Stylistically, Brokeback Mountain isn’t the most detailed presentation I’ve ever witnessed, though there is plenty of detail to be appreciated in the film. Film grain is apparent and appropriate, contrast is strong and the movie is presented in a film-like manner. This is a prime example of a Blu-ray encode mimicking the look of actual film and not a digitally processed representation. As such, viewers shouldn’t expect a flashy experience from Brokeback Mountain. Instead, film lovers will be thrilled by this disc’s elegant handling of the source material. Highly recommended. Brokeback Mountain Blu-ray, Audio Quality Thank goodness for lossless audio encoding. Heath Ledger’s performance as Ennis Del Mar, while brilliant, has always been slightly difficult to comprehend, due to the actor’s use of a particularly grumbly and deeply pitched voice. I’ve seen Brokeback Mountain on a number of occasions, both theatrically and on DVD; Mr. Ledger’s voice has always seemed difficult to discern and frustratingly unintelligible. Remarkably, with this Blu-ray’s use of 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio for the film’s audio, I was, for the first time, able to discern some of his most harshly grumbled lines. This improvement alone, makes lossless encoding worth the price of admission. While surround usage is light and viewers won’t find much in the way of an active surround experience, Brokeback Mountain features one of the most hauntingly beautiful musical scores in recent memory. This lossless audio track presents the Oscar-winning score in a fluid and dynamic manner that helps to accentuate the many emotions that are conveyed through this remarkably empathetic music. Fans of acoustic and Spanish guitar will be thrilled with just how amazing it all sounds. Highly recommended!
