- Did Ennis ever 'check out' other guys?  On the street? In the pub?  In the ranches where he worked?  I am sure he might have seen other men that 'tickled his fancy', even though he was not interested in pursuing any of them.


I hope Ennis found men other than Jack attractive, as strange as that might sound. That kind of thought gives me hope for him at the end, imagining that he could be receptive to becoming intimate with another guy down the road, even if the level of emotion does not approach what he shared with Jack. Besides, it would mean I might have a chance with him myself! (I do love Jack, no sacrilege intended--it's just that it breaks my heart to imagine Ennis growing old alone).

Not so much a question, this one, as an observation (or hypothesis?): Jack's theft of Ennis's shirt might have constituted a not insignificant material loss to our man from Sage, considering his near-poverty at this point in the story, and throughout the film. I wonder how sensitive Jack was to this element, and if his conscience bothered him at any time regarding this act. I have fantasies of Jack presenting Ennis with the gift of a new shirt at some point in their later rendezvous, telling him something like, "Just a little something from me to you, bud...never forgot how you lost that shirt up on Brokeback."

On the other hand, considering Ennis's stubborn pride, he might not have countenanced such a gesture with good grace, and Jack might have known this. Of course, Ennisdid ultimately get the shirt back, but under the saddest of circumstances... :'(

Okay, that explains Ennis but not Alma. Her excitement is still a mystery. Or could she have been faking it to get what she wanted?

If I were on a bed with Ennis wearing those cute low-cut PJs I would not have to fake it.

Since when did "fishin'" or "fishin' trip" become a euphemism for having gay sex? First Ennis, then Randall. What's up with that?


Hmmm...maybe because fishing involves handling and working with long rods for a good period of time?  :-\  ;D
I kid, good folks ...I kid.. ;D

Concerning the lighter question - maybe there'll be a deleted scene on the dvd special edition everybody seems to be expecting:

Jack: Damm it, I can't believe I forgot my fuckin' lighter up on that mountain!
Ennis: Hmmm...

 ;)

Umm...Dee..I always thought that the pic was a result of a great Photoshop job.
So it is real, you say? Hmmm.... ;D

Most gay men I know are made uncomfortable by the thought of fish. ...

Next question:

The supply guy told Ennis that he couldn't deliver any potatoes, right? So I really ask myself: what the hell was Jack peeling there while Ennis stripped naked in the corner of his eye.... Hunh?
