Before I mentioned that Mark Hamill hasn’t had many major on-screen roles but he has had a very successful career as a voice actor and is mainly famous for voicing the Joker in Batman: The Animated Series and Batman: Arkham video game series. He has been voicing the Joker for 18 years in nearly every project, as fans get ‘grumpy’ when ‘somebody else is cast in his stead.’ (Forbes.com, 2015).

In the short story, Proulx develops the theme during the fight scene between Jack and Ennis at the trailhead parking lot.

The film’s all star cast is composed of Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman, Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Morgan Freeman.

Brokeback Mountain is a film that describes a tragedy surrounding forbidden love. The love is between two men, Ennis and Jack and the setting is Wyoming for twenty years from the 1960’s to the 1980’s.

What is the typical menu of villainous images placed before us when we dine out at a movie theater? A scientist has his face deep-cleaned in a bell jar of acid to the epidermal enthusiasm of his "beauticians" (Darkman); a psychopathic criminal mastermind reigns chaos to the citizens of Gotham (The Dark Knight) and another sequel, eight years on, despite his tarnished reputation after the events of The Dark Knight, in which he took the rap for Dent 's crimes, caped crusader feels compelled to intervene

The raison d’etre of the Western is arguably to celebrate masculinity, but Brokeback Mountain is a revisionary Western that challenges definitions of masculinity. Discuss this statement with reference to Jane Marie Gaines’s and Charlotte Cornelia Herzog’s comments on the homoeroticism of the Western.

Throughout his tenured career Batman has faced numerous villains, each of them reinforcing

The two men, Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist, meet each other on the mountain where they are hired to do sheep herding duties. Jack and Ennis enter the wilderness. The pairing of natural landscape and freedom brings Ennis and Jack emotionally and physically closer together. One night, fueled by whiskey, they begin a romantic relationship which can’t last long later on. Jack and Ennis’s relationship thrives in the wilderness

it… nothing was left but what he held in his hands”(pg.26, Brokeback Mountain). This is where Ennis finally realizes and understands what he has failed to face and accept, has ruined his life and cost him the life of the one he truly loved. Heath Ledger portrays Ennis’s character so well that he dominates the film and by the end of the movie the viewers are fully and completely connected with his character, especially in this scene where the only thing he is left with, is the shirts he holds in his
