"Brokeback Mountain," the story of two homosexual cowboys starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, topped 19 competitors, including George Clooney's "Good Night, and Good Luck" to win the Venice Film Festival's top award yesterday.
The film has been called "groundbreaking" by homosexual activists for the amount of "gay" sex that is shown on screen.
Mel Gibson fans will remember Heath Ledger as the eldest son in "The Patriot" determined to fight for independence against the British, the innocent but brave fair-haired boy-man who struggles for justice even among his fellow southern colonialists.
Gyllenhaal is best known for his role as Dennis Quaid's son in "The Day After Tomorrow," last year's science-fiction film that portrayed how climate could flood New York City and put the Northern Hemisphere into a new Ice Age.
Gyllenhaal told Gay.com that filming the homosexual scenes were difficult, but for physical rather than emotional reasons, almost leading to a fractured nose.
"[Ledger] grabs me and he slams me up against the wall and kisses me, and then I grab him and I slam him up against the wall and I kiss him," he said recently, adding the love scenes were the most violent he'd ever done.
"We were doing take after take after take. I got the sh-- beat out of me. ... We had other scenes where we fought each other and I wasn't hurting as badly as I did after that one."
While Ledger admitted his nervousness about portraying a homosexual, Gyllenhaal said understood the universal aspects of the relationship, despite reaction from his friends.
"They're all like, 'Dude, you're gonna kiss a guy.' But it's not about that for me. It's about how impossible love can be sometimes, and I can relate to that."
"As well as that, every man goes through a period of thinking they're attracted to another guy," Gyllenhaal added.
While "Brokeback Mountain" received the Golden Lion award in Venice, George Clooney did not go home empty-handed.
"Good Night, and Good Luck" won best screenplay, and its star, David Strathairn, garned best actor for his portrayal of journalist Edward R. Murrow.
Murrow used television in the 1950s to highlight alleged bullying tactics of Sen. Joseph McCarthy in his anti-Communist crusade.
"This film is a tribute to the reporters who are in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in Africa, in our poor city of New Orleans, to bring us the truth," Clooney said.

"It's still porn. Hardly groundbreaking."
I don't think you understand the AMOUNT of porn in it. That makes it truly creative and groundbreaking. ::rolls eyes:: I really hate leftists.
I'm pretty sure he did.
I think fags are confusing having a "hero" with sexual attraction. Every man looks up to some other man. Me I look up to my grandpa and my dad. These fags never had a male figure of athority who they look up to and crave it. they just mistake those natural feelings for lust.
I have a few friends who have come out of the closet recently and they are really crazy. They have no clue what love is either. My friend has a girlfriend that she said she trully loved and in 1 split second they went from lovers to the most bitter enemys I have ever seen.
I believe Foxx did his own piano-playing as well.
Well, I'm stumped. I just can't figure out why Hollywood is having a financial slump.
That's what it needs - more gay cowboy movies where they beat each other up having sex.
Not only will that save Hollywood, but it will go a long way towards convincing traditionalists how normal gays and gay sex are. Mmm-hmm.

My cat just came out of the closet too--left hair everywhere.
I looked on IMDB and Foxx did play the piano and sang a few of the songs. However, all of the songs he gets a performance credit for Ray Charles also gets credit for performing. And by far the majority of songs are listed as Ray Charles performing them.
Remake of Rawhide 1990's version. "Me and Rowdy are headin up that there draw to round up some of them there stray gerbils be back in a couple or two days". "Uhh don't wait fer us."
LOL....YOU ARE RIGHT ON!!!!
Now if it were a cowgirl movie with Jessica Alba and Scarlet Johanson, then it might be artistic. ;)
Speaking of Sin City they are already getting ready to do the sequel. Robert Rodriguez has said he wants to eventually film every book in the series. And all I can say is I want to see more Miho.
Is this what is known as " rough trade?"
The really sad thing about this is that my Patriot and Knights Tale DVDs are now useless, and I WAS planning to buy the Brothers Grimm when it comes out too.
I'll never be able to overcome the mental pictures created by reading this thread and enjoy anything with Heath(er) Ledger again.
Yep.... Heather Ledger....
And now they can do a gay remake of Knights Tale and call it Knights Tail
"That's not the horn on my saddle you're holdin', pardner....."
All I can figure is, some investors use these stinkers as a place to hide money to keep it away from the taxman. I mean, they don't really THINK these movies will earn ten cents in flyover country, or a cineplex in Charleston WV, or Ashland Kentucky....do they?
WHO PAYS TO SEE THIS CRAP? nobody much, as far as I can figure.
Personally, the only movie I've seen this year is Batman and Transporter II. I don't see anything in the fall or Christmas movies that seem even remotely interesting enough to lure me to the cinema.
I'm not alone either. I used to go all the time, at least every other weekend. Now, you'll get me out for spiderman or a James Bond movie. That's about it.
A disgusting movie with a disgusting premise made by disgusting people.
I don't know how to post pictures to prove this..... but Jake Gyllenhaal is really K. D. Lang! Has to be !!
I take great care to avoid looking anything like "homo-chic".
But I know so little about fashion that I fear putting on my old clothes some day and being that kind of fashionable by accident.
Just when you think not shaving sends a clear signal you're not metro (or worse), people start thinking you're doing some kind of trendy stubble look.
I know what you mean. I used to think being pregnant all the time made a clear statement that I'm a radical right-wing repro-bat, but then psycho-feminist celebrities started having babies, too.
