By telling Jack that he hadn't yet had the opportunity to sin, Ennis indicated that he was a virgin.

In BBM movie jukeboxes were heard (Jack and Jimbo) or seen (Ennis and Cassie) in a few scenes.

Francisco Kjolseth is credited with this photo of a sign informing patrons that Brokeback Mountain  would not be opening at the Jordan Commons Multiplex, a theater owned by Utah Jazz owner Larry Miller.  The photo appeared in USA Today.

Ang Lee and Ossana/McMurtry translated the story onto film with a minimum amount of added mushiness.

Even though there were a few frills on Alma's dress, Ennis and Alma had a no-frills wedding.

Ennis was orphaned at a young age when his parents drove off the only curve on Dead Horse Road.

"P" is predation

Curtailing excessive predation by coyotes was Aguirre's reason for having the herder sleep with the sheep.

Lureen was questionless about Jack's fishing trips until she spoke to Ennis on the telephone after Jack died.

"R" is redeeming
« Reply #9189 on: December 05, 2006, 08:42:56 pm »
"Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger) is as classic a westerner as Pete Perkins.  Tall, rangy, stiff-mouthed, painfully reserved, the redeeming aspects of his life are his one true love, Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal), and, much later, his daughter Alma Jr. (Kate Mara)."
