Brokeback was an Academy Award qualifier.

Lee Shoquist’s review for Reel Movie: "Going for Broke: Mountain is the Best Movie of 2005.  There’s a scene late in Brokeback Mountain, Ang Lee’s much-awaited big screen version of the award winning gay love story by Annie Proulx, where a shut-down, frightened Ennis del Mar—devastating Heath Ledger, as one half of a poignantly stifled, decades-long love affair—finally breaks, collapsing into the arms of his exasperated soul mate, Jack Twist, played with open-hearted vitality by Jake Gyllenhaal. Ledger’s Ennis, whose muted, marble-mouthed, speak-only-when-necessary implosion cracks with tears of a life wasted, sobbing into Gyllenhaal’s embrace. As movie moments go, it’s just incomparable.”

Jack and Ennis had spats but few big knock-down, drag-out fights.

LaShawn was annoyingly talkative.

Ennis:  "We can hunt in November.  Kill us a nice elk."

Joe Aguirre said, "Got your .30-.30" in the story, but in the screenplay it's 30/30 with a virgule.

After Ennis married Alma and she was pregnant that January 1964, Ennis picked up a few ranch jobs before settling in as a family live-in wrangler on a ranch in Washakie County.  BTW, when Alma Jr. was born in September, they were still there in Washakie.  [story]

Since Ennis & Jack met in June and the BBM author wrote that they were not quite twenty, they both have summertime zodiac signs, namely "Cancer" and/or "Leo".
