"I" is inconsolable

An
Amazon customer review
of the Brokeback Mountain Soundtrack:
After just one viewing of the film, I was able to put on the soundtrack and be transported right back into Ang Lee's masterpiece. The tracks by the various artists all capture some moment in the film, and you will smile, cry or shiver as each one gets going and puts you in some place or time along Ennis and Jack's heartbreaking journey. Willie Nelson's iconic "He Was A Friend Of Mine" ultimately sums it all up.
However, for me it is Gustavo Santaolalla's short instrumental pieces that bring the film to life again. Whether it be the slightly haunting first few notes in "Opening" or the optimistic tones of "Snow", these tracks make you realize how effective the simple score for the film actually is. When the masterful closing track on the CD, "The Wings", takes flight you will be left feeling Ennis del Mar's pain all over again. A piece of music has never made me cry before but this one left me almost
inconsolable
.
For anyone who got drawn into the film, this soundtrack is a must.

When Ennis sent Jack the postcard about his divorce, he had no idea that Jack would
misunderstand
its meaning.

When Jack was only a little
nipper
his father treated him cruelly because his toilet habits weren't all that they should have been.

An excerpt from a
review of
Brokeback Mountain
at goatdog.com:
Perhaps [Ang] Lee and cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto
overemphasize
the visual contrast between the sweeping majesty of the mountains and the drab, prefab houses that Ennis and Jack face when they return to their live -- in the middle of all of that peeling paint and clapboard, it's possible to miss the larger meaning of Ennis's relationship with Alma, and think of it as a run-of-the-mill critique of married conformity, with Williams providing the shrewish wife role. I haven't read E. Annie Proulx's 1997 short story upon which this film is based, but I understand that the family relationships were greatly expanded for the film. I can't believe, and I don't see on screen, that Larry McMurty, Diana Ossana, and Ang Lee added all of this just to score tired points off an easy target.

Joe Aguirre was not pleased to catch Jack and Ennis
romping
outside their tent at a time when they should have been baby-sitting the sheep.

The mountain boiled with demonic energy, glazed with flickering broken-cloud light, the wind combed the grass and drew from the damaged krummholz and
slit
rock a bestial drone.
