Brokeback Mountain.Talking to The Sunday Times, Gyllenhaal said that people may have a different reaction to two straight men playing gay men today than when the film came out in 2005, reported Insider.“I don't know.
Maybe?” Gyllenhaal said. “Part of the medicine of storytelling is that we were two straight guys playing these parts. There was a stigma about playing a part like that, you know, why would you do that?
And I think it was very important to both of us to break that stigma.”He added: “But then again, I think that has led the way towards people saying, you know, people of all different experiences should be playing more roles, that it shouldn't be limited to a small group of people.
