When Ennis awoke during the early season snow storm, he found himself surrounded by whiteness.

"A" is affectation
« Reply #18782 on: January 14, 2009, 02:54:18 pm »
"Brokeback Mountain  gets erotic juice from some sexy horseplay, to be sure, but it’s also charged up by Lee’s interest in the faces of his actors — Ennis’s explosiveness that night in the tent is more potent for the desperate slow burn Ledger does throughout the picture, and if Gyllenhaal’s guilelessness feels a little like affectation, it turns out to be part of Jack’s charm. In more ways than one, he’s a contemporary cowboy trapped in old-fashioned environs, and Lee’s camera studies the winsome openness that Ennis is drawn to precisely because it’s the opposite of everything he is."

In the solitude of Brokeback Mountain, Joe Aguirre's sheep herder and his camp tender discover a quiet affection for each other.

Jimbo and his clown colleagues, legs working like eggbeaters, sped all around the contentious Sleepy, distracting him so Jack could to redline it to safety.

At the end of the story, Ennis opens his own closet to reveal that he has hung the two shirts reversed, with his plaid shirt hugging Jacks blue shirt. They hang inside the door beneath a postcard of Brokeback Mountain. Ennis carefully fastens the top button of Jacks shirt. With tears in his eyes, Ennis mutters, "Jack, I swear..". Ennis carefully fastens the top button of Jack's shirt, and with tears in his eyes mutters, "Jack, I swear...."

Student loads college hopes on "Brokeback" truck

By Danny Glenwright

TORONTO (Reuters) - A half-ton pick-up truck used in the award-winning gay Western "Brokeback Mountain" is up for sale, and the seller, a Canadian high school student, hopes the proceeds will help pay his way through college.

Matthew Kennedy said he bought the black, 1950 GMC truck last year at an auction of vehicles used in the movie because he liked its looks, and only decided to sell when he realized the amount of attention the film was garnering.
