It's funny .... I had found it at the same time you did. As you said ... the moderator is HORRIBLE! He might want to learn how to properly pronounce Jake's last name! Beyond that ... it is fun to listen to.

In reference to your earlier comment about how Ang Lee speaks in riddles, that led to us trying to solve the "milk/water=Jack/Lureen" riddle, which caused us to revive our perennial worry about whether we are just making this all up, I found this comment by Lee in the production notes:

Quote
Ang Lee: That bottled-up feeling - Larry had written me about the nonverbal culture in the West. I'd done [a movie about] a verbal culture with Sense and Sensibility. In some ways, this was harder, because, if they are not verbalizing their feelings and being level in their communication, then how do you express their feelings in cinema? You have the Western elements; the landscape, the sky, the animals - whom they're nurturing, actually.


Not proof positive that the symbolism was intentional, but leaning that way...

This might be more to the screenplay writers - I'd ask why they didn't show Jack writing the first postcard.  I'd like to have seen their interpretation on why he did it: as an impulse, was it prompted somehow by having his son, was it because he wanted another man again or just Ennis?

I would like to know about the collaboration between Ang and the writers, the actors and the editor. I know some things … like it was Heath’s idea to switch the shirts around. I also heard that Ang had considered cutting out the reunion kiss altogether, but Diana and Larry lobbied hard to keep that in. I wonder what else was changed or adjusted!

OMG it was Heath who had THAT IDEA?!!!

 so deep  :'(

that's how ennis wants to forever have Jack in his embrace... now i'm sad again after having fun in "broekiesm in real life.."

I finally found an Indonesian-translated version of BBM short story!!!!!
Ye-haww!!

 would like to know why Ang said TWICE of Lureen, "She's lying."  When it was clear to me that she was NOT lying, but telling the truth as she knew it (whaever the actual truth was).

I read a book about the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon that had a long introduction by Ang Lee. I kept thinking, why can't Brokeback Mountain have a book like this??

Yeah, I really wonder about that too, do you think we will have to wait ten years for something like that to come out?
