Confidently directed by Ang Lee and featuring sensitive and powerful performances by Jake Gyllenhaal and a breathtaking Heath Ledger, this film is determined to involve us in the naturalness and even inevitability of its epic, complicated love story. What Larry McMurtry (who co-wrote the screenplay with Diana Ossana) said of Pulitzer Prize winner E. Annie Proulx's original short fiction is equally true of the film: "It was a story that had been sitting there for years, waiting to be told."

When Ennis looked back on the years post-Brokeback, they seemed to be marked by fiascos: his broken marriage, low-paying jobs, failed relationship with Cassie and wranglings with Jack.

The goddamned snow came a month early that year they were up on Brokeback. Aguirre came by again one day, said it was time to bring'em down.

From the Los Angeles Times:

Gene Seymour's early Oscar predix

BEST PICTURE
X - "Brokeback Mountain"
"Capote"
"Crash"
"Good Night, and Good Luck"
"Munich"

The only thing that could brake this juggernaut's momentum -- and it’s by no means unlikely -- is some manner of "Brokeback" fatigue; e.g., people hearing for so long how "great" the movie is and how it can't possibly match the hype and/or heightened expectations after so many months, blah blah blah.

L.D. tried to intimidate everyone around him, but it was time for a change when Jack gave it right back to him on Thanksgiving Day.

After years married to Jack, Lureen was lapsing into more and more absurd hairstyles.

The day began with Ennis and Jack's awkward morning-after encounter.

Jack and Ennis met in 1963, which was a non-leap year. Alma Jr. was born in 1964, which was a leap year.

Lashawn could outtalk any sorority sister any day of the week.

While at the Motel Siesta, Ennis told Jack that he had pleasured himself "a hunderd times" thinking about him.
