Well said Katie!
You do bring some good points... and may I thank you for that by this last post of yours!
I think that others as well as I do too!! Why not consider other perspectives?
Of course, you can easily say that other points of view are absurd, but that is not researching a subject, it seems to me... may I say, in order to dwell on many issues and not only one issue!!!
One thing you make me think about, gladly, which I had not realized before (and do think about now thanks to you) is that the Jimbo scene is a [b]hinge[/b] one. May I add that it is, and also more than ONE hinges!!
The Jimbo scene is also INGERANCE French word; since I do not know the English word for that, maybe you do? Or someone here does? De tell please.
There are MANY, MANY horrible things that happens in the Jimbo scene; not that it is NOT only one bad happening; the dynamics are influencial, as the event, by extension, show possible murderers of JACK? IT COULD VERY WELL BE, THAT THAT WAS THE AIM OF LEE? AND/OR BY ALSO THE SCREEN WRITER(S) ??
It is easy to describe like you do, and am happy with that, but can not at all limit myself to that! Because, unfortunately, the Brokeback Mountain movie is a drama, it contains numerous dramas, and not ONLY the lack and/or love between Ennis and Jack, and other forms of love (as you outlines a bit)!!
There are UNDERLYING conflicts in this movie, you can think about?
