Ennis took a stab at wisecracking when he told Jack, "I think my Dad was right."

The Brokeback Mountain  soundtrack features music from the film's original score by Gustavo Santaolalla as well as a number of songs, both new and old, from a stellar lineup of artists including Willie Nelson ("He Was a Friend of Mine"), Rufus Wainwright ("The Maker Makes"), Steve Earle ("The Devil's Right Hand"), Emmylou Harris ("A Love That Will Never Grow Old"), and Linda Ronstadt (It's So Easy").

"D" is depiction

"Bittersweet and achingly sublime without being maudlin or melodramatic, Brokeback Mountain  is devastating in its depiction of how life doesn't, and sometimes can't, always turn out the way you would like it to."

"E" is eminent

"Ang Lee has become for me the eminent cinematic storyteller of tragic, forbidden love. I don't know if any other liiving movie director has the mastery of this genre that Lee has. But more than the genre, he just has an incredible ability to understand and communicate the pathos of a story, that which makes it essential for the telling."

Alma was able to create a sense of hominess  in the small apartment above the laundromat.
