"Jake Gyllenhaal, as Jack, lures the viewer into the love story.  His smooth features are all eyes, almond-shaped, infinitely blue, surrounded by eyelashes so thick they could be registered as weapons."

Ennis was near to busting with anticipation before Jack arrived in the red and white pickup.

Ext: RODEO ARENA: CHILDRESS, TEXAS: NIGHT

In the arena WE SEE a YOUNG WOMAN  dressed in the flashiest, most costly rodeo finery, the most stylish barrel-racing clothes, on a fine, expensive quarter horse, running the barrels. [2003 Screenplay]

"D" is drowning

The huge sadness of the northern plains rolls down on Ennis as he thinks of Jack drowning in his own blood on the highway.  And nobody to turn him over.

The Early Show's resident fashion guru, David Evangelista, raves about  Michelle Williams' appearance at the Academy Awards:

"Thank you, fashion gods.  You sent someone who took a risk last night.  She looked beautiful in the marigold Vera Wang.  The jewelry was spot on, the vintage Harry Winston.  The hair was to complete perfection.  The lipstick was perfect.  It was a confection of perfection."

December 9th weekend 2005:

"Brokeback Mountain" Lassoes a Mammoth Limited Opening

Ang Lee's multi-Golden Globe nominated feature "Brokeback Mountain," starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal ponied up a heap of cash over the weekend, spectacularly bursting the six-figure average threshold. The critically lauded film grossed $547,425 from just five screens in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, averaging a whopping $109,485, the biggest screen average included in the history of this column.

What Alma thought would be a harmless get-together between old fishing buddies turned into a serious threat to her happiness.

"I" is imbued
« Reply #9288 on: December 08, 2006, 02:11:49 pm »
"Taking its cue from the Annie Proulx short story on which it's based, Brokeback (with credit due to screenwriters Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana) is imbued with an important understanding:  The West is both burdened and buoyed by its mythology.  Ennis and Jack not only long for one another; they yearn for their time on Brokeback Mountain, where they had the space to be free.

"Let's face it:  Ennis and Jack wouldn't totally fit into the society that was developing around them even if they were straight.  Their attitudes and modes of expression — and even their physical postures — suit Western landscapes.  They certainly don't suffer from any macho deficits.  It may not seem like it at first, but on reflection, Ennis and Jack fit into the romanticized outcast mode that's also a part of Western lore."
-- Robert Denerstein, Rutland Herald

Ennis jealously threatens Jack, after Jack admits to going to Mexico, looking for what Ennis cannot or will not deliver.
