When Ennis left the Twist house without the ashes, I was really surprised. It just adds to the hurt of the film, I feel; it tells us that even in death Jack's dreams were denied.

I thought the same thing, too. I was convinced Jack's ashes would be spread on BBM. Then, when Ennis died, he would have his own ashes spread on BBM so that he and Jack could live together in eternity. Of course, that would be a conventional ending. Obviously, this film is not conventional in any way shape or form!

That picture of him there is so freakin' sad. Imagine what a posthumous visit from Jack for Ennis would be like?

I guess in my mind it went some like this.
Ennis is sitting alone after riding up to Brokeback after finding the 2nd campsite.
Jack, appearing as when Ennis first met him, come from behind places his hand on his shoulder.
Ennis stands up, startled and frightend, backs away but still holding on to Jacks arm, shaking.
"S'alright Ennis, just came t' see ya. Say goodby till..." Jack takes Ennis, hold him in a tight embrace. "Thanks for bringing the ashes.
Ennis in tears. "Jack I'm so sorry, I wish I was there to save....."
"Shhhhhh....S' ok Ennis. I know you love me more than you can ever say, from when we were here so long ago, the looks in your eyes, how much you been miss'in me now. I know you heart was breaking when you sat on that very hill the day I told we had come down from the mountian, from our home right here just yours and mine, I know what you felt Ennis, same as me. All the years you 'a me been together in the mountians. I love you more than ever I could tell you, for always. When you found the shiirts we wore up here I kept yours closest to my heart and now mine is to yours. You have a lot of years left but know when your grandchildren are grown our time together will be near and it will be just like this, just like this always. I will come to you in your dreams and sometimes when you sleep I will wrap my arms tightly around you, and if you look on the horizon you might see me riding way off in the distance. I will always be alive in your heart Ennis DelMar.
Final tightning of the embrace and gentle release Jack turns begins to walk away and fades into thin air.
Thats how I would see, but it would be more conventional.

Oh JP, this is so beautiful! I am fighting back tears as I write this! Isn't it amazing how our boys wrap themselves around our hearts? So much poetry is inspired by them, and your beautiful piece...wonderful!

Totally agree! I'm tearing up too reading JP's beautiful posts. Many people here have great ideas for fantasy scenes. I love them all!
In the book, it talks about Ennis dreaming of Jack. I would like to see some of the dreams in the movie. Also, in the movie, we see Jack's flash back of his happiest moment which is the dozy embrace. It would be great to have a happy flashback for Ennis as well. Perhaps put it in the final scene right after he opens the closet door and buttons up the blue shirt. He would then pause and we would see some clips of them together when they were up on Brokeback Mountain, but this time in his perspective. Particularly showing a lot of Jack smiling and them laughing and goofing around. Then continue with the teary eyes and saying "Jack...I swear".

Ennis...Ennis can you hear me? I'm right her beside you bud. I can't ever tell you how much it means that your up here with me in my room. When I was growing up, didn't have no brothers or sisters, no other kids around.. Always had chores after school, no one would come all the way out here to play. The toy rider, the little pickup, nobody's hands on 'm but mine. And now here you are in my room where I lay in my bed at night praying to the Lord to bring me someone so I wouldn't feel so all alone. And he sure answered my prayers bud, that day so many years ago when I first saw you, know 'n I was a goin' to spend summer with ya, I knew then the Lord gave me Ennis Del Mar, you are my very best friend, been everything to me, became a man with you that summer. Now don 't ya go worrin' about me always wishin' for what cudd'a' been, I'm save 'n a place for us and we'll be together for always.
Ennis..... could you please look in on my mama from time to time, it been so hard for her, I know you will bud...I know I don't even have' t ask.
One more thing Ennis, if you can hear me, go to the closet, there is something of both of ours together there, you'll know when you see it, take it keep it close, it'll help you through until were together again. I...I love you so very much Ennis.
