I understand your feelings about the value in NOT having all the technical directorial details spelled out. yes, not having a commentary track does leave some "open space" for our imaginings. I would appreciate a track from Ang Lee, and possible interviews with the DP, the screenwriters, and a actor or two. After all, to preserve the "mystery" we don't have to listen to the commentary track.
maybe over time, Focus and Universal will see a market for a re-release of the DVD and Ang Lee can be "prevailed" upon to offer his commentary.
I may have mentioned here before that I once wrote to Criterion to ask them if they had any plans to release an edition on
Brokeback Mountain but iI never got a reply. I think their edition of Ang Lee's
The Ice Storm is splendid. However, that didn't appear until some years after the cinema release of the movie, so maybe the same will be true of
Brokeback. However, it would be reassuring to know if or not they are considering the idea.
I understand the feeling amongst some here that
Brokeback should be taken as it is without the extras of deleted scenes or commentary tracks. However, shots from deleted scenes like the hiippy scene, the gun scene, the mechanics, Ennis the vet etc. are readily available on the internet and elsewhere, so it's not as though we don't already know something about these deleted scenes even if we don't now all. So, in some ways, it wouldn't be supplying us with new knowledge but completing our knowledge.
As far as Lureen's pregnancy goes,, I once wrote to Larry McMurtry about this but again got no reply. In retrospect, I think I should have written to Diana Ossana who was on the set during most of the filmimg. If there's anybody here who knows how to get in touch with her, maybe he or she might like to try
