  Every single time Jake talks about Brokeback Mountain makes me tear up, his eyes really show how much he misses Heath and that destroys me

  Brokeback Mountain definitely one of Jake Gyllenhaal top five performances. He deserved that supporting actor Academy nomination. Heath Ledger was such an amazing young actor. Very proud of Heath stood up to homophobic jokes of media and fans. Straight male comedians Very homophobic when Brokeback Mountain came out.

  The fact that you can go through this guy's career and not even have time to mention Prisoners, Nocturnal Animals and Enemy is testament to how good his career has been. And he's still only young too. Cant wait to see what else he does. Proper good lad is our Jake.

  God bless Jake for making "Brokeback Mountain."  I still can't even see a poster for it without freezing, followed by crying.  I probably saw it 30 times. I measure my time by "Before Brokeback" and "After Brokeback" because that is the impact on all of our lives.

  Loved absolutely everything he had to say about Brokeback Mountain. Especially what he said about Heath cuz I remember watching several press interviews for the movie and some of the questions and reactions that were given to them were so ridiculous and Heath never wavered in his seriousness and admiration about his role and about the film. He shut down ANY homophobia that was sent his way and never indulged in ANY jokes about the story. Love Jake for bringing that up and man...  I miss Heath. Such a kind soul who is dearly missed.

  He talks so passionately about acting. You can see is not about ego for him, it's about telling real, deeply human stories. The part about "Brokeback Mountain" really shows that.

  I was crying at the whole Brokeback Mountain section. This is one of the greatest movies ever made. It should have been buried in awards.

  I noticed that both Heath and Jake were always humble about their participation in the making of Brokeback Mountain. The directing was of course award-winning. But I still feel the movie would not have had the impact it did without those two performances. Every bit as thrilling as Raging Bull or Sophie's Choice.

  Jake is one of the most underrated actors in his field. He's up there with DiCaprio among the best of his generation. I'm still not over how he was snubbed at the Oscars for Nightcrawler.
