[Meryl]

In conversations, Ennis tended toward monosyllabic replies.

The Producers also thanked the Town of La Mesilla, New Mexico, where some filming was done.

Ennis was caught in an off-guard moment when Jack placed his hand on his crotch.

L.D. was pontificating about masculinity when he said "boys should watch football".

Bobby obviously agreed with his granddad's statement on Thanksgiving, as he apparently took an interest in football to rival Harry Potter's passion for Quidditch.

"Yet, neither of them can quite forget the other, and their time together nags in the back of their minds. Finally, after four years they are reunited and immediately pick up where they left off, returning to the fabled Brokeback Mountain, which becomes a physical and symbolic locus of solitude where they can be together in a way they can't be otherwise."

Ennis said that Jack and he would most likely just go out and get drunk "if he shows."

I'm goin to go out and get drunk if Mr. T doesn't show.

And Ledger... succeeds wildly in a role so completely original that he seems to have had nothing to draw on aside from a tremendous amount of heart.

"As Larry McMurtry has said:  when Ennis visits Jack's parents, hears what Jack's father says, finds the shirts in Jack's room, it becomes a great movie, a tragedy -- for he then realizes what he's missed.  We have seen his deep emotional turmoil, but he's failed to grasp (what we have also seen):  Jack's enormous love for him (even during Jack's unfaithfulness).  We've heard Jack's tender "it's all right, it's all right," repeated in their second lovemaking;  said in response to Ennis's agony when he falls to his knees at the crux of their argument.  We've felt Jack's heart."
