Having felt the hot singe of passion, Jack and Ennis were as yet only dimly aware that their future happiness, once they left Brokeback, would hinge on finding time to be together, a fact that would also impinge significantly on the happiness of their wives.

"Ennis is a quiet lug of a ranch hand, so inward-directed that his personality seems to entropy a bit more with every passing frame."

There was a four-year lapse since Ennis had last seen Jack, and they immediately tried to recapture what they had on Brokeback.

Jack, to better the food situation,
Eyed the sheep with a cold calculation.
But his bud's aim was true, so instead of lamb stew,
They engaged in some elk mastication.

"Some critics have accused the filmmakers of creating one-dimensional women characters who torment their husbands rather than understanding or caring for them. This is simply an unfortunate misunderstanding. Alma, for instance, is devoted to Ennis until she accidentally discovers that her husband is having an affair with Jack. Betrayed, she keeps his secret in silence, continues to try to win him, and only when she fails does she leave him. Michelle Williams' performance is truly top-notch and deserves consideration from the critics and nabobs of Hollywood awards."

Prior to their reunion, four years after Brokeback, Ennis had "wrung it out about a hunderd times" while thinking about Jack.

Welcome back. Glad you had such a good time.

The introduction to Andrew L. Urban's "Brokeback Mountain -- Making a Molehill Out of a Mountain":

The outraged attack by some people on "Brokeback Mountain" for being a "gay Western" is based on blind ignorance, reducing a complex relationship mountain to a gay molehill. Not surprising, since most of the bigots haven’t even seen the film. Andrew L. Urban puts them straight (as it were).

Welcome back.

For the welcome.

When the bikers started trashing and lashing, it was only a matter of minutes until Ennis began mashing and bashing.

The Pilgrim returns! Glad you're back in the fold.
