I think that Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger probably enjoyed doing both movies at the same time. Jake was filming Brokeback and Jarhead at the same time and Health was filming Brokeback and Casanova at the same time. These movies are very different and I believe that the actors enjoyed the difference. Actors are trained and schooled to play different parts. Jake and Health are both very good actors and I think that they would have enjoyed putting the pressure on them to fulfill both parts.
In Jake’s case, I am sure it was hard playing a gay cowboy and an army man. I think that is very ironic because gays and the military are two things that are very controversial with each other. I do not blame Jake for saying many times that he was not gay. When filming a movie that you are playing a gay man in then many people think that that actor probably is gay. It is sad that Americans would think that today. I do not think that Jake had to tell our nation the things he did but that’s just the way it is.
Health had an affair with a co-star. I do not think this is good but I cannot make anyone do anything. Being married and having an affair with another person is very wrong. I think that Health was wrong in this.
The two must have definitely been comfortable playing the gay roles in this movie. If they were not I do not think they would have dealt with it. I do not think they are gay but they definitely did not have a problem playing gay characters.
