My long, rambling defense of Brokeback Mountain
Kelda:
Yeah - I had never seen it before and noticed it in the latest posts list. I admit that a good few of these subtleties mentioned were lost on me.
as for the classical lit - english was never my best subject!
VG piece and a good bump as more and more people see it on HBO.
Hope to comment more profoundley later!

But mostly thank you Katherine for your treatese in defense of BBM. I too have learned new details from your "rambling(s)", this, 11 months after my first and probably a 100 subsequent viewings.

Same here! I had never noticed the "wrapped bread" detail, nor the 2 cowboys at the bus station (can anyone please remind me when this scene takes place? I cannot place those 2 cowboys).
I have only seen BBM about 15 times, 5 of which at the theater. Good excuse for not having noticed everything, but good excuse too for watching it again. And again. And again...

The bus station scene is also known as the Ennis eats apple pie scene - when he last makes Cassie cry - ... remember "Ennis, girls don't fall in love with fun!"
isabelle:
Thanks Roland! I'll check that up.
Also, do you pronounce Aeneas the same as Ennis in English?

And let me in turn thank everyone here (and at imdb) from whose posts most of these details were lifted, over the course of many months of intense discussion.
:-* everybody!
