"'Brokeback Mountain' does some of the best things a story can do.  It abolishes the old West cliches, excavates and honors a certain kind of elusive life, then nearly levels you with the emotional weight at its center."

                                                            ~Gail Caldwell, The Boston Globe
"... and Ennis, not big on endearments, said what he said to his horses and daughters, little darlin." ~Proulx

"Life is not a succession of urgents nows; it is a listless trickle of why-should-I's."  Johnny Depp as the Second Earl of Rochester.

After their first meeting, Jack and Ennis gravitated to one another as two lost spirits meant to be one.
