Jack and Ennis had much of the summer to consider the inscrutability of a sheep.

The daily shooting journal for Brokeback Mountain included many a scene with wooly character actors.

Joe Aguirre worries about predator loss because his sheep are his livelihood.

"M" is mammals
« Reply #13234 on: May 25, 2007, 08:13:28 am »
The sheep appearing in Brokeback Mountain are a combination of true live mammals as well as computer generated "electric" sheep - maybe the kind Philip K. Dick had in mind when he titled his 1968 Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?.

Filmed in 1982 as Blade Runner.

It was a wild-and-wooly summer for Ennis and Jack when they guarded the flocks of nubby sheep.

During a blowy hailstorm, Joe's sheep overran the boundaries of their allotment.

"P" is prepare
« Reply #13237 on: May 25, 2007, 10:16:24 am »
Aguirre and his base team had to prepare the flock for grazing in the mountain.  The herd was sorted, counted, paint-branded and quite likely checked for disease/pest symptoms.

Overwhelmed by beans, Jack Twist was willing to prepare at least one sheep for a dining respite.

"S" is sight

Joe Aguirre instructed Jack to pitch a pup tent on the q.t., out of sight, and sleep with the sheep 100 percent.
