What is your absolute favorite, wordless moment in BBM?
opinionista:
I like Jack's sad face when he sees Ennis on his horse riding away from him after their first night together. I know it's sort of hearbreaking but it looks like Jack is already in love with Ennis. He seem to wish Ennis would stay around for a little while and have a cup of coffee together.
Also, this scene sort of foretells the kind of relationship they had. Ennis always running away everytime Jack came too close, and Jack standing there all heartbroken seeing him go and wishing things were different. I don't know if you noticed but this scene is actually shown twice. The first time they were together, Ennis rides away and Jack stays at the camp feeling miserable. Their last time together (after the confrontation at the likeside), Ennis drives away, and Jack stays behind seeing him go, remembering the dozy embrace and feeling even more miserable.

You know, you guys amaze me. 20 times and countless videos, and I never put that together. This movie just gets deeper and deeper.

rtprod - That's probably my all-time favourite worldless moment.

Aww, opinionista, that's so heartbreaking...
Reading all of these has brought tears to my eyes. And I was so proud to have lasted over a week without crying BBM-related.
One of my favourite moments that I don't think has been mentioned, is the look that Ennis gives Jack when they first get to Brokeback Mountain, after Jack says: "I doubt there's a filly that can throw me. Let's get, 'less you wanna stand around and tie knots all day." The look that Ennis gives him there after Jack says that is so darn cute and sweet, almost as if Ennis is thinking: "Hmm, I wonder what this guy's all about anyway."

Thanks littleguitar for reminding me about the part in the 2nd tent scene when Ennis is clinging to his hat and Jack takes it and puts it aside and Ennis looks after it like he's panicking/lost, but it's like Jack saying no more hiding behind hats.
henrypie:
Yep, it's good to talk Brokeback again.
Not my favorite, but surely one of them: the
ping
of the guitar string synched with a shot of the mountains with the mist rising off, the first morning Jack wakes up with the sheep. That shot just kills me, it's so beautiful. As with everything Ang, there are the physical properties (total gorgeousness) and the deeper purpose: they are in a heavenly place.
