Oh that's right! I forgot that I used to sleep, too. And not only that, but my dreams weren't haunted by scenes from Brokeback, and when I woke up in the morning my very first conscious thought upon opening my eyes was NOT, "Wonder if Barb watched the movie and found out about the color of Ennis' shirt?"
I am scaring myself.

I love the haunting bbm score. I walk around all the time with that beautiful, quiet guitar in my head... and it's a wonderful thing!

Hey, you, get outta my head! ;) I was just thinking about something specific about the score I wanted to post, then I came here and read this.
I love that at the very beginning of the movie, when Ennis is getting out of the truck and approaching the trailer, there is that plaintive two note call, followed by a faint two note return. It is Ennis calling out to Jack, who is also approaching but from a distance, and who is calling back. It is the story of their lives, summed up so gorgeously in two notes mirroring each other.

Guess what Barb?
I've always been haunted by those two notes as well - never could put a reason for it - appreciate your putting words to my feelings. Used to be Beethoven's 4 notes from the 5th symphony that was the shortest musical statement to create intense feelings, but no more.
I love the first 10 minutes of the movie where virtually nothing is spoken, yet so much is said - (all the way to the end of the bar scene) - especially about my Ennis.

Thanks, Roland. :)
I love that all of the artists behind this movie gave us credit for being intelligent and sensitive enough to draw our own conclusions - that they didn't beat us over the head with what we should think and they didn't spoon feed us what we should feel. Real art truly does imitate life - it's something else that tries to tell us how life is supposed to be.
