Indiewire does an overview of reflections in 120 movies and features the shot of Ennis walking away, reflected in Jack's rear-view:

That was interesting to watch, thanks for posting the link. I also saw Heath from Monster's Ball (I think) and Jake from Idon'tknowwhat movie...maybe Jarhead?

I thought of 2 scenes in my tied-for-all-time-favorite movie, Free Fall. The first is of Marc as he leaves a room where his pregnant girlfriend is sleeping. He sees himself in the mirror, I read it as the moment he breaks into two separate people. He can't stop thinking of the man who has infiltrated his life, and this is when he makes the decision that will change his life.
It's very dark; all the scenes inside his house are dark and close in, confining, suffocating. Like Brokeback, when he's with Kay, the two of them are (usually) outside, rain or shine.

after his gf has the baby, i'm sure he thought he would be over his infatuation with Kay, and that things would return to "normal".
As he holds his son, he looks at himself in the mirror and says in a whisper, "What are you looking at? What are you looking at? Look at that."
I'm so sorry more people haven't seen this movie, although I'm sure not all viewers would be as taken with it as I am. I think it's truly worth the time to see.
Front-Ranger:
I hope to see Free Fall soon. Been wanting to watch it but my Netflicks doesn't work so well.
I think I saw two clips from Jake Gyllenhaal's Nitecrawler.
