This frustration was because of an evident idea in the film that I agree strongly with‚ ‘sexuality is not a choice.’ This idea made me realise how lucky I am to have been born in an era where society is much more accepting of individuality than in the past. And I felt frustrated because the two men believed the only way to be accepted in society was to be something they weren’t‚ which was heterosexual.

Rarely does the genre break away from this mould‚ however Ang Lee’s renowned film Brokeback Mountain defies the set expectations of the Western and its celebration of masculinity.
