I love seeing the chemistry develop between Jack and Ennis.

I love Jack when he's good-naturedly bitching, and he does a lot of that that first summer.

"You know, I'm commutin' four hours a day."

"Aguirre got no right makin' us do somethin' against rules."

"Let it be.  It ain't going nowhere."

"I'm up with the sheep all day, I get back here hungry as hell and all I find is beans."
No more beans!

Thank you Heath and Jake for showing us Ennis and Jack,  teaching us how much they loved one another.

I love the first glimpse we have of the boys having put the sheep out to pasture, and Ennis calmly surveys the scene to glance back at Jack tending to one of the sheep. Ennis seems so at home here, filled with quiet pride and purpose, and you sense the respect and interest he is already developing for Jack.

I love the pretend-pissed off look on Jack's face when he says "Where in the hell have you been, been up with the sheep all day.... yadiyadiya...".

I love that first shot of the sheep coming over the crest of the hill to the strains of the "Brokeback Mountain 1" portion of the score.  Something about the sunlight in that shot, and the calm, plodding way the sheep move always gives me a warm feeling in my chest.

I USED to love it when Ennis punches Jack out..I'd laugh out loud every time. Then (after 27 screen vierwings), Sid explained it to me: The reason Jack is so cheerful when he tells Ennis about Aguirre coming back and telling Jack to bring the sheep down because of the coming storm, and Ennis is so mad--is: Jack has no idea that this is THE END. Ennis has mentioned Alma like ONCE all sumer...he figures...probably nothing definite, but that this relastionship is NOT about to come to a screeching halt. Ennis realizes this, so the next time Jack starts talking softly to him, comforting him (because of the nosebleed)--he hauls ioff and socks him...to let him know.

Sniff..

I love the way Jack flashes Ennis that look that says, "Don't EVEN say it" when the mare startles and rears when he gets on to ride out to the sheep after supper, and the way Ennis leans forward to watch him ride away.



I love this one too. so cute!!!!!!!!

I love the way Ennis tries to please Jack:

He is so willing to switch jobs to make Jack happy.
He asks for soup, because Jack is sick of beans, even though he doesn't like soup and loves beans.
He puts up Jack's tent and tries his hardest to sort it out when it "don't look right", even though he
(Ennis) isn't going to be sleeping in it anymore. (well, as far as they know he isn't)

I saw you were sick and tired of my wrong turns.
If you only knew the way I feel,
I'd really love to tell you,
But I could never seem to say
The things I needed to.
On a day like today
No other words would do.
