"The story’s great success is its refusal to pass judgment on the affair for wrecking the marriages, or the marriages for wrecking the affair. It examines both models of causality, and does not stoop to assign blame."

-- Nicholas Tam, The Gateway [review]

Brokeback Mountain is the story of Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist, and the hard bargains they make to love each other.

Jack: "You goin' a do this next summer?"
Ennis: "Maybe not. Like I said, Alma and me's gettin' married in December. Try to get somethin' on a ranch. You?
Jack: "If nothin' better comes along. Thought some about going back up to my daddy's place, give him a hand over the winter, then maybe head out for Texas in the spring. If the draft don't get me."
Ennis: "Well, see you around, I guess."
Jack: "Right." [story dialogue]

... If you looked at the story (of Brokeback Mountain) from another vantage -- the children's -- it would be a different tale altogether: about greedy, selfish, undisciplined homosexuals who took out a contract in the heterosexual world, and abandoned it. They weren't true men; they failed at the man's one sacred duty on Earth, which is to provide.

Your turns of phrase are too much!
If Brokeback had action figures, I'd like the Woolly Joe.
