"Just as Ennis can't forsake secret squeeze Jack in the critically praised love story, the avalanche of jokes, parodies and quips inspired by the winner of four Golden Globes shows no signs of abating almost seven weeks after opening in theaters."

Brokeback Worthwhile
Brokeback Mountain is recommended, a "thumbs-up." I'm paying it about the highest compliment you're going to hear me accord a movie: it's still growing on me, more than a day after I saw it. There is much to savor.

Brokeback is about a great romantic love. Two "straight" young cowboys named Ennis and Jack fall for each other and begin a secret love affair while tending sheep one summer. The summer ends, they move far away from each other, each goes on to marry, and their subsequent rendezvous, as "fishing buddies," are spaced years apart.

To effectively maintain a "straight" facade in 1970s Wyoming, as we're reminded in the explosive confrontation between Ennis and the ex-wife who suspects his secret, is literally a matter of life or death. The thrill of danger enhances the sweetness of love.
