Posting the Collector's Edition Postcards has made me question my mind /and /or memory. Just Where in the film IS Brokeback Mountain shown? In what scene? I'm too fragile psychogically at the moment for a fresh viewing (my 12th) so I ask you all here. Let me show you all of my pics of Brokeback Mountain. I hope this doesn't sound like a stupid question...
First - From the Collectors Edition: Postcard 1
-
2nd, the one that hangs on my wall...
-
3rd - If someone at Universal / Focus would have paid attention to details, an excellent copy of THIS is what Postcard-1 SHOULD be...
-
4th (thanks to Lucise) the postcard above as it appears in the Ennis' Closet...
-
5th, The Back Cover of the Original Soundtrack CD...
-
And Last of all, the original Three Sisters Mountains in Alberta (or something to that effect. can't remember where I downloaded this)...
After all of this, maybe the REAL Brokeback Mountain is the one in Our Hearts!
Can anyone shed some light on this dumb question? I sure don't want to ask John Twist!

I have alway thought of it as the mountain you see off in the distance at the jump off, before Ennis warns Jack about his horse being skiddish. It was computor generated at that, certainly the sceens of the sheep climbing the mountain.

Of course, I guess you aren't talking about the REAL Brokenback Mountain in Wyoming, which is pictured here:

It's actually a gentle sloping mountain on the "Front Range" (he,he) of the Rockies (Big Horn Mountains) in Wyoming.

Yes, I saw the Shockwave Object 'documentary' about the Special Effects and BBM. I wish that was available as a downloadable .wmv or something.
thanks for replying!

No, but I think it's pretty neat to have a mountain with that name IN Wyoming.
thanks for replying

There's a Brokenback Mountain, a Lightning Flat, a Riverton, and some of the towns have been moved or the towns in the story are a combination. The great thing about Wyoming is that it has such a diversity of places, names, climates, histories, and cultures. When you go there, it seems like endless miles of nothingness until your eyes are opened, and then it is a wonderland!!

The peak(s) in the postcard we see in Ennis's closet at the end surely represents, and iconically so, Brokeback Mountain as far as the film is concerned--and surely as far as Ennis is concerned.

That's right! Never thought of that before. It is the same mountain, I think, photographed from a different angle.
Seems to me I posted a pic of that somewhere here on BetterMost... I get lost easily~!!! DUH: it's in this thread...
