Brokeback Mountain: Our Community's Common Bond > The Lighter Side
The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)
southendmd:
When it came to religion, Jack didn't understand the rubric, even when it came to defining the Pentecost.
Fran:
At first glance Jack seemed fair enough with his curly hair and quick laugh, but for a small man he carried some weight in the haunch and his smile disclosed buckteeth, not pronounced enough to let him eat popcorn out of the neck of a jug, but noticeable.

memento:
Ledger keeps his character's volume low. Barely opening his mouth when speaking, his voice is frequently an indecipherable mumble, his face, a stoic, blank slate. He's in hiding. And yet there are isolated moments when we see Ennis's pain, guilt, anger and utter hopelessness at being unable to solve a situation that is completely untenable. The impact hits us with the force of a stampede.
''I'm stuck with what I've got here,'' he says, voice tinged with sorrow, lying beside Jack in a motel room. ''Makin' a livin' is 'bout all I got time for now.''
One could argue that Ennis and Jack's happiness is laid to waste by society's mores. But where lies tragedy, also lies the tender, undiluted potency of genuine love. Brokeback Mountain is a testament to that love, in all its forms.

Ma Twist's cake was sparsely fruited and completely uniced.

In her essay "Climbing Brokeback Mountain," Diana Ossana writes,
Michael Costigan was on set with us for nearly the entire shoot. His humor and innate common sense served us all in good stead. As the days passed and together we endured rain, snow, sleet, hail, sunburn, windburn, sheep wrangling, mosquitoes, flat tires, camping out, exhaustion, answering calls of nature wherever we could find cover and four-wheeling to the remotest of remote locations, we soon came to feel like a large extended family. And like family members who live and work in such close proximity, we had our share of squabbles, but mostly we got along, and I felt happy to be working with fine people who each expressed to me how passionate they felt about the screenplay and story, and how important it was to them to make a great film.
