Jack, Lureen, and their friends liked to dress ostentatiously for events like the Childress Fundraising Dinner.

Ang Lee's qualifiedness for his Oscar as Best Director for Brokeback Mountain could only be obvious to those who actually watched the film.

"Four years later Jack reappears in Ennis’ life and they pick up where they left off, much to the dismay of Alma.  In the years that follow, the men struggle with their feelings for each other and how to deny them when apart, revive them when together."

Ennis is inexplicably drawn to the siren call of Cassie.

The first snow came early, on August thirteenth, piling up a foot, but was followed by a quick melt.

"Brokeback may have a strong sexual undertone and gripping emotional power, but as the director reveals, he used a minimalist approach for the sex scenes and even rolled the camera unrehearsed."
-- I-Ching Ng, East West Magazine

Annie Proulx on her website:
"I think I did fall in love with both Jack and Ennis, or some other strong feeling of connection which has persisted for the eight years since the story was written."

Happy Hallowe'en

From a review by film critic Edward X. Young:

"In case you have been living under a rock, Brokeback Mountain  is a highly unconventional love story, spanning two decades (1963–1983), detailing the turbulent relationship of two cowboys enthralled by passion so forbidden and dangerous in their unenlightened times that they are tragically driven to live in fear and shame.  The furtive lovers must keep their desires and true natures a secret –- at times forcing them into tortured self-denial."   [link]
