Ang Lee and the POM synergy

[Penthesilea]

Another example where something from the story is transferred to another place in the movie:




The widening water between Ennis and Alma from the story is transferred visually to widening water between Ennis and Jack at the lake side argument.

[Front-Ranger]

Annie Proulx wrote "He could smell Jack--the intensely familiar odor of cigarettes, musky sweat, and a faint sweetness like grass, and with it the rushing cold of the mountain."

And Ang Lee showed us a rushing stream crowned with snowcaps. He also showed us green grass. Where? Out the window in the very last scene of the movie.
