Brokeback Mountain: Our Community's Common Bond > The Lighter Side
We all know the grief, but how about the humor, the fun stuff?

Katie77,
that's the thing isn't it? i remember Oprah W said on her interview with the cast, that there is no streotype.
i meant, the way i see it, sometimes Jack acted "masculin" as in the above example, he was also the one who was more aggresive in this relation ship. did the driving, the contacting, the "proposals"...
but in the other way we can also see Ennis performed his manly jobs, (shot down the elk if that counts, that counts in my place though...girsl can't shoot here), doing little things what a man would do for his loved one.
they are simply complementary to each other, fulfiling each other's need.
i hope many relations can be at their level of loving.

A scene that's not only funny, but charming, and one many people don't talk too much about is Ennis and Alma in the snow on their honeymoon. I love the sheer joy of their new marriage and need to recall this when I think of their darker times and the end of their marriage.

I love Laureen's quick smirk when Jack tells her daddy to sit his "ignorant ass down...etc..." Laureen loves her Dad, but there's that "To know him is to love him thing" going on there too, eh?

Hi Rayn- I'm glad you had an awesome time in Alberta,
I love it when Ennis and Jack are riding with the sheep and Jack is playing the harmonica, and Ennis says to Jack, "You'll run the sheep off again if you don't quiet down." Ennis then looks at Jack with a big smile as they move along.
Love that scene. :) I think that it is so charming and indicates the feelings that Ennis has for Jack.

I USED to laugh outloud every time I'd see ther scene where Ennis punches Jack ouit...until asomeone explained to me that Ennis is informing Jack (a sort of pre-inform) that "it ain't gonna be that way."

Hmmm. Never thought of that. Learn a new way of seeing things in this movie all the time. Even after 4 years.
