The kindliness of Mrs. Twist is an example for all of us to follow.

Jack's laughter was endearing to Ennis, and was the wind in his sails.

"Brokeback Mountain is that rare thing, a big Hollywood weeper with a beautiful ache at its center. It's a modern-age Western that turns into a quietly revolutionary love story."

After the bear scare, Jack notices that Ennis is hurt and tries to react in a caring manner.

The choice of spending his life with Jack was an optional choice for Ennis; one he was never able to manage, unfortunately.

Jack's postcards to Ennis were written in pen (probably ballpoint).

Query Booksellers has this online description of Annie Proulx’s novella:
"A stand-out story...'Brokeback Mountain' is the sad chronology of a love affair between two men who can't afford to call it that. They know what they're not -- not queer, not gay -- but have no idea what they are."

-- Walter Kirn, New York

From the screenplay by McMurtry and Ossana:

The tent is a little lopsided, but finally up. Ennis is trying to adjust a tent pole. Jack is sitting by the fire, playing a slightly damaged harmonica, squalling the old Tex Ritter rodeo tune, "Bad Brahma bull". A whiskey bottle sits next to him.
Ennis: "This tent don't look right."
Jack stops playing, glances over at Ennis and the tent.
Jack: "It ain't goin' nowhere. Let it be." (starts up again on the harmonica)
Ennis: (amused) "That harmonica don't sound quite right."
Jack: "That's 'cause it got kinda flattened when that mare threw me."
Ennis: "I thought you said that mare couldn't throw you."
Jack: "She got lucky."
Ennis: "If I was lucky, that harmonica would broke in two."
Both laugh.

Jack slithered toward Ennis and brought his hand upon his waiting crotch in Tent Scene I.

Jack: "Tell you what, you got a get up a dozen times in the night out there over them coyotes. Happy to switch but give you warnin', I can't cook...." [story]
