Brokeback Mountain: Our Community's Common Bond > The Lighter Side
We all know the grief, but how about the humor, the fun stuff?
Rayn:
We all have favorite parts. What part makes you laugh the most? I always laugh when Jack does his pretend bull ride in camp the first summer, falls down, and Ennis says, "I guess my Daddy was right." and I can't help but laugh with Lureen when Jack tells her Daddy "Now you sit your ignorant ass down before I knock it into next week!"
There is a lighter side to BBM. It's just not a strong as the serious side, but it's there and I'm glad it is.

Yes i love the part where Jack tells his father in law to sit down....his choice of words are so good, and i always get a chuckle from them....
And the admiring look on Laureens face when he does it....
Makes jack seem like he is ten foot tall......
tamarack:
One of my favorite scenes on the mountain comes after Ennis sees the bear. The whole conversation about maybe shooting one of the sheep and then Ennis says "We're supposed to guard the sheep, not eat 'em." In fact, that line is on my Brokeaholic bumper sticker. Then Ennis shoots the elk and says "I'm tired of your dumb-ass missin'" I get a kick out of that whole section.
Katie77:
Just thought of a funny bit, that I always notice......
When Aguire throws Ennis the watch, and he tries to put it on his wrist and it is too small to go around......the look on his face is gorgeous......
Rayn:
I never noticed that Ennis tries to put the watch on, Katie77, I'll have to look at that again....any excuse to watch the movie one more time!
Hey tamarack, what exactly do the boys say to each other in the "shooting the elk scene"?? I can never understand what Jack says.
