Alma's dining furniture is mismatched. The leaf in her chrome table isn't even the right colour.

"Ennis marries his longtime sweetheart, Alma (Michelle Williams), while Jack wanders through the rodeo circuit, eventually falling into the arms of a sexually forthright cowgirl named Lureen (Anne Hathaway), whose family-owned business will provide Jack with a comfortable lifestyle and potential respectability. Yet, neither of them can quite forget the other, and their time together nags in the back of their minds."

When Ennis went back to the sheep, he thought about what an out-of-sight good time he had.

The happiest image in the film, and the most poignant, is Ennis and Jack, off by their lonesome, pulling off their clothes and leaping off a cliff into the placid, welcoming waters below.

"Screenwriters Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana have worked extensively in the Western genre (McMurtry is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Lonesome Dove, among many other Western novels, and Ossana has worked exclusively writing Western teleplays with McMurtry, several of which were based on his novels); thus, they understand well the conventions of the form, notably the homosocial bonding that by its very nature requires the exclusion of women. Some will likely decry Brokeback Mountain for “queering” an ostensibly masculine and unquestionable cornerstone of American mythology, but all one need do is watch the gun comparison sequence in Red River (1948) to see just how easily the latent homosexual connotations of the Western can come to the surface."

Jack was prepared to ruffle a few feathers at Thanksgiving when he stood up to L.D.

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. Love Story by R Shulman

The underlying sexual tension between Ennis and Jack escalated into a rough-and-tumble encounter in Tent Scene I.

Jack was surprised by how vivaciously Ennis grabbed his little darlin Jack fuckin' Twist.
