"They were raised on small, poor ranches in opposite corners of the state, Jack Twist in Lightning Flat up on the Montana border, Ennis del Mar from around Sage, near the Utah line, both high school dropout country boys with no prospects, brought up to hard work and privation, both rough-mannered, rough-spoken, inured to the stoic life."  [story]

"X" is xiling

Ennis and Jack's lack of trust in open society led to Jack and Ennis xiling themselves to the backwoods, streams and mountains near Ennis' "coffeepot".

Brokeback is a story of a youth's first experience with love and how he struggles with his feelings throughout his lifetime.

"...in an interview with Peter Zander, Ang Lee doesn't seem too disappointed about having won 'only' three of the eight Oscars for which Brokeback Mountain  was nominated."

After coming down from Brokeback, Jack and Ennis fought an uphill battle to keep their relationship going for twenty years.

Wyoming ranch corral:  day:
Ennis, still a ranch hand, is dehorning steers on a squally, snow-spitting day.  Bloody, grim.   [2003 screenplay]
