I watched Free Fall again, and this time noticed more similarities to Brokeback - lots of similarities, in fact. The music seemed similar to me, both when things seem to be spinning out of Marc's control, and in their intimate moments. Marc's girlfriend comes up behind him on the bed like Alma did, and he turns and kisses her. And of course, the first night in the tent, although this is the first time up against the car (seemed a little unrealistic, more so even than Brokeback). In the beginning all their meetings are in the forest, out in the middle of nowhere, but eventually they go to Kay's apartment. And the fight they have near the end reminds me of Ennis breaking down; although Kay does come out and say "Don't you get it? I love you."
