The wide-open landscape of Wyoming overwhelmingly
 represents the sense of possiblities for Ennis and Jack.

"P" is peaks

"Legions of Brokeback Mountain  fans have been flooding the phone lines at Wyoming's tourism office with inquiries on how to get to the majestic peaks captured so artfully on the big screen."

"R" is receded

Jack and Ennis grew up in Wyoming communities that have receded into history.

"S" is swept

Just as the Wyoming wind swept the wide landscapes in Brokeback Mountain, Ennis and Jack were swept along by a passion neither was willing to forget.

Ang Lee toured much of the eastern Big Horn Mountains and several nearby towns when scouting locations for the film.

=compliment= Paul
A nicely stated "O"!

"U" is unavailability
« Reply #13425 on: June 07, 2007, 11:05:45 pm »
Because of the unavailability of filming resources in Wyoming it was necessary - and economically justified - that Brokeback Mountain be shot in the Canadian province of Alberta.

"V" is vacationland
« Reply #13426 on: June 08, 2007, 08:09:12 am »
Because of its spectacular landscape rich with majestic mountains, pristine lakes and extraordinary wildlife, Wyoming makes an ideal vacationland. I'm sure many Bettermostians can testify to that.

"W" is woo

Speaking of Wyoming:

In a bid to woo visitors, the state's tourism website (wyomingtourism.org) features a Brokeback Mountain  article entitled "Wyoming Inspires Heralded Movie's Look."

"X" is xpansiveness
« Reply #13428 on: June 08, 2007, 11:17:34 am »
Annie's story was inspired in part by the xpansiveness and grandeur of the Wyoming landscape.  It seems that the landscape acts as a character in the story.
