I don't think Monroe is in any hurry to tangle with Ennis, and this is just him putting it off as long as he reasonably can.

Sure, but as far as he knew Ennis was turning his wife into pulp in the kitchen sink. You'd at least get out of the chair and stick your head through the door. If Munroe didn't want to go fists with Ennis, he at least could have grabbed and extension cord and dragged the electric knife in to defend Alma. Walk up and stick his cigar butt into his neck! Something!

LOL, Ray!!! Having Monroe fight Ennis off using the electric knife as a weapon would have been a good ironic touch!

I figure they're trying to show that Monroe isn't a real man and Ennis is. Yes, Ennis is so angry he's about to hit her, but I believe he would never actually do it. Meanwhile, Monroe just sits there, showing how weak of a man he is, and also showing (intentionally or not, I don't know) that straight doesn't necessarily equal manly and gay doesn't necessarily equal otherwise.

Interesting... I always thought that line was supposed to sound forced, because he wasn't really angry with Ennis, he was worried sick, he was just trying to sound angry... I think these are even the directions in the story to screenplay book... or maybe it's in the story? I don't know, but I read that somewhere... anyone?

OK, maybe 'forced' was the wrong word. Um, 'fake'?
I'm comparing two scenes:
Jack tells Ennis, Aguirre said to 'bring 'em down'.
Ennis gets angry (when he's really love-lorn) and goes on a tear about the sheep and Aguirre cheating them out a month's pay.
AND
Ennis shows up in camp late due to a problem between bears and mules.
Jack gets angry (when he's really worried) and blurts out about being tired and hungry and only having beans.
Heath sounded a lot more convincing than Jake when they're doing the same thing.
Does that make more sense?
silkncense:
The fireworks scene. Just don't get it (but I am sure someone will explain why it's there!)
Agree that I would have liked a little more tenderness & love expressed -
A bit further back on the camera view in the Motel - would like to see more of their arms holding each other (see above).
Would not have wanted a flashback to the fight - hopefully most people got it (although quite a few were confused by their Brokeback flashback)
I'm sorry...the physical movements of Jake/Jack when he says, "All we've got is Brokeback Mountain..." (ducking now)
