Though on the surface Ennis's life appeared a bit grey, the two absolutes in it--his love for his daughters and his love for Jack--made it forever green.

Nice idea for a theme

Lureen thought Brokeback Mountain was a place full of whiskeys' springing and bluebirds' singing.

Bright idea for a round!

They had a high-time supper by the fire, a can of beans each, fried potatoes and a quart of whiskey on shares, sat with their backs against a log, boot soles and copper jeans rivets hot, swapping the bottle while the lavender sky emptied of color and the chill air drained down, drinking, smoking cigarettes, getting up every now and then to piss, firelight throwing a sparkle in the arched stream, tossing sticks on the fire to keep the talk going, talking horses and rodeo, roughstock events, wrecks and injuries sustained, the submarine Thresher lost two months earlier with all hands and how it must have been in the last doomed minutes, dogs each had owned and known, the draft, Jack's home ranch where his father and mother held on, Ennis's family place folded years ago after his folks died, the older brother in Signal and a married sister in Casper.

From infoplease:

Jake Gyllenhaal
Actor

Born:  19 December 1980
Birthplace:  Los Angeles, California
Best known as:  The star of Donnie Darko and Brokeback Mountain

Jake Gyllenhaal's turn as a rocket-loving youngster in 1999's October Sky moved him directly into the Hollywood category of hot young actors to watch. It led to more memorable parts in the spooky sci-fi hit Donnie Darko (2001, co-starring his sister, Maggie) and The Good Girl (2002, with Jennifer Aniston). Blue-eyed and with usually tousled brown hair, Gyllenhaal has a standout gawky charm that makes up for a lack of classical movie-star looks. The son of director Stephen Gyllenhaal, he has been in and around movies since he was a kid (he played Billy Crystal's son in 1991's City Slickers). He starred in the drama Moonlight Mile (2002, with Dustin Hoffman and Susan Sarandon) and the global-warming disaster movie The Day After Tomorrow (2004). In 2005 he played a Marine fighting the Gulf War in Jarhead and co-starred with Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain, the much-discussed "gay cowboy movie" directed by Ang Lee.
