"Silent, Ennis walks towards the tent, fire illuminating his face. He sits on a log by the fire. We see the cut on his forehead, gaping now, dried blood covering the whole side of his face." [screenplay]

I am so pleased and comforted that Brokeback Mountain proved to be an Oscar-winning movie! It is a living and endearing tribute to my inspiring son Jack.

God bless everyone connected with Brokeback Mountain then and now, including all of you fine folks here at the A-B-C's of BBM.
