Yes, that is how I interpret that that bartender knows some pederast already,
since he is after all not bartending for nothing? Can I go that far too?

well, there is a visual statement being made in featuring the bartender as a man with rather long collar length hair and a partial beard. In the mid 1960's in rural TX, and that bar scene was supposedly in the Electra TX area in 1964-65, men DID NOT wear their hair that long, or have beards, unless they were old men. The bartender in the scene set later in Childress TX when Jack met Lureen is more typically shaven and with the shorter hair of the period.

Brokeplex, are you suggesting that that long hair man/men, might be old child molesters, like pederasts?
Or short hair ones are maybe too pederasts?
To me fro accenting, the bartender knows his job,
and knowing people of ALL kinds,
like even their sexual desires,
he must know some pederast(s)?
You think that he does?

I am saying that the longer hair and the beard are inconsistent with the hair styles of 99% of men in that rural TX community in that time. Therefore, Ang Lee is making a statement using an actor with that length of hair.
NOW, what exactly that statement is, I don't know. :laugh:

Well said Bill:
Ang Lee is making a statement using an actor with that length of hair.
..........
Could it be that Lee had place a wig on that actor?
Or that actor had such long hair as too contrastmore heavily
that scene in a diifferent way (such as to show dirty old gay or pederast man?):
as to Lee putting in an sugar daddy to ridicule gays or pederasts??
I am just asking and pondering! Since I see Lee not as West-like minded that much!
Above all, it seems evident that the Jimbo scene
is there for many, many reasons, right?
Katie77:
OMG......now the bartender is a "pederast" because he has long hair.
"why dont you try calf roping" is now suggested to mean, "why dont you go out and get a young stud"
It is suggestions like this, and distasteful concepts that turn a movie like Brokeback Mountain into some sordid, sexually perverted story.
It is suggestions like this, that turn around the real meaning of the story, saying that any movie about a gay love story has to contain all these hidden unnatural metaphoric statements.
What on earth was going through your minds while you watched this movie?
Did you ever see it for what it really was....
