creenwriters Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana managed to provide
additional
narrative detail without straying from Annie Proulx's basic storyline.

forgetfulness.

"L" is layered

teve Persall wrote a review of Brokeback Mountain entitled: "Brokeback Mountain rises above hype -
Ang Lee's film will be considered a social statement, but at heart it's a love story of whose beautifully woven fabric homosexuality is only a thread."
An excerpt follows:
Jack contacts Ennis, requesting a Brokeback reunion. It's the first of several meetings over the years, ostensibly for fishing, although they never bait a hook. Alma's suspicions begin when she sees Jack and Ennis kissing but can't confront her husband about it. Lee's film becomes a western class saga on the order of George Stevens' Giant, recalling the hindsight homoeroticism of that film's stars, Rock Hudson and James Dean.
Much happens over the next two decades, some of it unsavory, as Jack's true colors are revealed and Ennis isolates himself from his family. The repercussions of their affair are smartly detailed in the screenplay based on Annie Proulx's short story, never sappy or campy as hesitant viewers may expect. Brokeback Mountain is so delicately
layered
that the homosexual angle becomes just another thread in an unshakable romantic tragedy.
