At what moment in BBM did you realize that they were falling in love?

Let me suggest Artiste that you purchase a copy of the excellent book "Brokeback Mountain - Story to Screenplay" ISBN-13 : 978-0-7432-9416-4
In this book are the original short story, the screen play and some excellent commentary by AP, Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana
You can compare for yourself any differences between screen play and short story. I found this book at Barnes and Noble
There is also an interesting book that I purchased on Amazon called "Reading Brokeback Mountain". I highly recommend that one as well.

A Brokie friend gave me that book as a gift. Since then, It has never left the drawer of my computer desk, and I refer to it constantly when writing here (just as the New Yorker issue with the original story hasn't left her side for a decade! :) :-*)
brokeplex:
You have a copy of the original "New Yorker" article?
Hang on to that, it is worth real money now, aside from the personal value you have in it. .
I just bought an author signed copy of that article (without the italicized intro) on a collectors web site, I'm still reeling from the prices these dealers charge...........

I'll have to get Annie to sign it next time I see her (hopefully 'round the time of the Roundup!) but still it won't be for sale at any price! I'm so glad to see you're still getting use out of that book, Kathryn!! An interesting anecdote: a mutual friend of ours saw my copy at my house, started reading it, and then freaked out because in the early '90s, he used to play pool at the Mint Bar with his buddies!! He would've been in his early 20s at that time...
Artiste:
Thanks brokeplex!
Are those my Christmas presents you will be giving me, eh buddy?? Would love those books!
Say, in which New Yorker was it in? One or more? Are those now in demand too and much more $??
In another thread somehow, I felt that both Ennis and Jack felt numb after Aguiire told them to come down which ended their jobs much earlier. Then and there, we, as spectators do feel that they are in love... since Jack goes to rope Ennis who is afar in being pensive!
Then, maybe I felt for the first time that Ennis was in love with Jack, and vice versa?
Hugs!!
Did they need to be convinced each to believe in the future??
Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas and Gay Holidays to all and lost of hugs too!!
