Things started to add up for Lureen about Jack and Ennis' relationship when Ennis told her over the phone that they herded sheep on Brokeback one summer.

Of the two leads in Brokeback Mountain, Jake's Jack Twist is more buffed up than Heath's Ennis Del Mar.

"C" is circumstances

There is a profound ache at the core of Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain -- it's the ache of a powerful love, of a love unable to requite itself, mostly due to circumstances, but largely because of the two people caught up in it. They're men -- cowboys, actually. And their lifelong pine for one another begins one cold night on Wyoming's Brokeback Mountain, where they're employed herding sheep during the summer of 1963.     Love Story by R Shulman

Ennis:  "This happen a other people?  What the hell do they do?"

Jack:  "It don't happen in Wyomin' and, if it does, I don't know what they do, maybe go to Denver, and I don't give a flyin' fuck.  Son of a bitch, Ennis, take a couple days off.  Right now.  Get us out a here.  Throw your stuff in the back a my truck and let's get up in the mountains.  Coupla a days.  Call  Alma up and tell her you're goin'.  Come on, Ennis, you just shot my airplane out a the sky -- give me somethin' a go on.  This ain't no little thing that's happenin' here."  [story]

Ennis thought that being in a loveless marriage versus living with another man
was the lesser of two evils.

The dozy embrace was one of few flashbacks in the movie that made it to the finish.

The logo of Greyhound Lines, a picture of a running greyhound, is seen in the background in the scene where Cassie confronts Ennis while he's eating his pie.

When Ennis pulled up to park across from the Black and Blue Eagle Bar, his passenger side headlight wasn't working.

Ennis was revealing his inner feelings to Jack when he said: "There’s no reins on this one. It scares the piss out a me.”
