Brokeback Mountain Ang Lee, 2005
The perfect example of romantic longing, Lee’s film concludes as Heath Ledger’s ranch hand Ennis opens his trailer wardrobe to reveal two shirts belonging to his late lover Jack (Jake Gyllenhaal). It’s almost impossible to hold back the tears at the thought of their tragic affair.

:-\ actually that writer was incorrect - one of the shirts was Ennis' and the other was Jack's which makes the scene
even more poignant because Ennis reverses them on the hanger at the end and it shows him protecting Jack instead
of the way they were in Jack's closet - but he got part of it right, the tears flow easily when watching this scene........... :'(

I know, but I've gotten used to journalists getting at least one thing wrong! :)
I thought he/she was right that it was the perfect example of romantic longing, but I think this is more a tragic romantic scene than the true romantic *SWOON* scene that 1. the Dozy Embrace or 2. the Reunion was! I would have picked either one of those as the most romantic scene from the movie, because they depict the time where, at least I think 1. They were totally caught up in each other and in love and 2. They fell even more deeply in love....

I think it was the DE for me!
The love in Jacks eyes as Ennis rode away.....
That was probably the most beautifully done scene in any movie I have ever seen!
It brings tears to my eyes even now! :'(

Oh God, yes, it kills me every time. From the moment Ennis walks up to Jack with that unique look on his face and throws his arms around him to the moment Jack watches him ride away. I applaud Jake for putting so much love and infatuation and happiness in just that one gaze.... That look and the one he gives Ennis just after the reunion nuzzle are just the most romantic scenes every put on film. There, I said it!
:D
