Brokeback Mountain in the Heart

It's been a long time since I watched this film, but I always think of something Li Ang said: "Everyone has a Brokeback Mountain in their heart."
For some reason, the term "broken back" has been equated with homosexuality since this movie. So some people think that Ang Lee's words mean that everyone has a bit of homosexuality in their hearts.
But when watching this movie, I didn't pay much attention to homosexuality. Instead, what I saw was a dream in someone's heart that could never be fulfilled.
In the United States in the 1960s, where the story is told, homosexuality is something that is not accepted by the world. Therefore, Brokeback Mountain has become a peach blossom for the two protagonists. Only there can they do what they want to do freely. Even if it is only once a year, it is enough!
However, in the real world, under the influence of various subjective and objective factors, what people want to do but cannot do is more than homosexuality?
Perhaps, everyone really has such a Brokeback Mountain in their hearts, but it is a pity that it may not be as beautiful as in the movie...
I wonder if people who have watched this movie have the same feelings as me?

    Director Ang Lee's rhythm is very well controlled, and the progress is so slow that people don't want to fast-forward for a second. Art is originally from life, higher than life, and finally returns to life ❤
