I'm absolutely heartbroken by this. But at the same time, I see the good in the world. I am a regular on the IMDB board for Brokeback Mountain and to see how this talented young man has changed so many lives so critically, so drastically, I have to say I am proud of him. I would rather he live 28 years and do Brokeback Mountain, than to pass it up and live to be a hundred. I've never known of any other film to change and affect so many people on such a personal level, and to actually know many of them, it's just remarkable.
