Thanks BBM-Cat2006!
Your comment:
Maybe a sequel could work if they showed us the deleted footage in flashback scenes.....perhaps focusing on the sad life of Ennis after Jack? But that would be so depressing. IMO, there will never be a movie as great as BBM, a sequel would be a stretch and might ruin the phenomenal impact of the original, as well as stray from the intent of the author AP who asserts that a story is not finished but lives on in the minds of the readers (or viewers)....(I'm paraphrasing her famous quote here).

I am glad about your comment!! Indeed a sequel could show the sad life of Ennis, after Jack's death, much more!! Does that have to be ONLY a sad one?? And, for many years after Jack's death??
Could he not find ANOTHER Jack, maybe??
Indeed flashback scenes could enrich the movie and/or the story!! Even with deleted footage, as you say!!
And added new footage??
Of course, there could never be another equal likely to this First Brokeback Mountain movie and/or book!!
However, sequels are sometimes interesting too!! Plus, at times, enriching the story?? As there are a great many puzzles in this story/movie, and some could maybe be solved; hopefully not all!!
A sequel does NOT NEED to stray away the original intent of Annie Proulx!!
As she (Annie) says, the story will be not finished in the minds of the readers!! I say the same about a sequel!!
Any other ideas?
Hugs!!
