Coincident or Deeper meaning

Stole this topic from my buddie Banner Hill (Jason Clark to the Aero Crew) on TOB...so whaddy'al think?
I'm not sure what the consensus here is about Alma Jr's bluebird earrings. Some people think that they have no symbolism. Some people think there is a much deeper meaning.
The logic goes like this:
Lureen says Jack always talked about Brokeback Mountain and she thought of it being a place "where there's a whiskey springs and bluebirds sing", her intrepretation? In the scene where Alma Jr asks Ennnis if she might be able to stay with him, she is wearing prominant bluebird earrings. Is this by chance? Is anything in this movie ever really left to chance? Or is Ang Lee the master of sympoblism we all think he is?
Symbolicly, it is possible that Alma Jr wearing those earrings might suggest that a bit of the love that Ennis held so sacred might be able to be found in his relationship with his daughter.
What do you think? Are the bluebird earrings coincidental or not?
Ellemeno:
Not coincidence. I can't remember what, but I think there might be one more bluebird ref in the film (beside Ennis saying it while hunkering by the river washing the pan).
I wish Banner Hill could be lured over here.
delalluvia:
Can anyone get a close up screen cap of her earrings?
Everyone says they're birds with blue stones so they're 'blue birds' but for all we know they're eagles - which would be more logical to be set in turquoise in Wyoming (I bought most of my turquoise jewelry in Wyoming. Saw a lot of thunderbirds and eagles, no bluebirds).

I've sure tried, even talked to him on the telephone yesterday morning. He's really frustrated with the troll situation maybe if that doesn't get any better he'll come.
