12 Movies Literally ONE Step From Perfection

10. Brokeback Mountain – Jack’s Violent Fate

Midsommar film
Focus Features

Coming from The Ice Storm helmer Ang Lee, 2005’s Brokeback Mountain more than earned a spot in cinema history with its touching and tragic depiction of two men’s forbidden love for one another and the brutal cost it had on both of their divergent lives.

That said, for an already sad story of the pair’s doomed love, Lee’s largely tasteful film didn’t need to twist the knife and depict Jack’s murder by a homophobic rabble in such indelicate, brutal terms.

We got the picture when Anne Hathaway claimed that some sort of bizarre incident involving an exploding a car tire killed him, thanks.
