What's your favorite Brokeback Mountain scene? WARNING! Major spoilers!

[Clintmax]

I have a couple of them actually.

1) In the flashback scene when Ennis walks up behind Jack and puts his arms around him when Jack is asleep on his feet. That scene shows just how much Ennis loves Jack and is so tender that it makes my heart soar for them.

2) When Ennis goes up to Jack's room at his parents house and finds the two shirts hanging together in the closet and hugs them like he is hugging Jack breaks my heart. You can really see how much love Ennis has for Jack. Later, when Ennis opens his closet door and there is the two shirts hanging on the door...oh my gods...:cry:

1. in the short story that annie p

wrote -- she has jack remembering that moment when ennis holds him while standing behind him -- and i loved it in the movie too -- but jack adds to himself that ennis{at that time} would never have been able to embrace him face to face.


but still -- he remembered it sweetly.

[Clintmax]

2. Hmmm...I haven't read the short story yet...

But that makes sense. I also like the scene when Ennis jumps up when Jack arrives at his place after four years and he runs down, hugs him then pushes him into the wall and they kiss for SO long...LOVE IT!

[xchrom]

6. the key to that is they accepted

each others flaws.

[Clintmax]

8. Yes. Absolutely. n/t

[terrya]

3. Those are my two favorite scenes, also.

I saw "Brokeback Mountain" last weekend and liked it a lot.

[Clintmax]

4. I'm glad you liked it!

I thought it was fantastic! "Jack, I swear..." Ennis Del Mar.

[terrya]

5. It's a great love story, I thought.

A very honest film, I felt. There wasn't a false note in any of it.

[Clintmax]

7. Nope...not one!

Another favorite of mine is when Jack is laying in the tent, shirtless, and Ennis stumbles in...

[Clintmax]

9. Here's another picture from the movie....

:cry:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

10. The last confrontation between them, that includes the "flashback" scene.

It's devastating.

[Clintmax]

11. Yes, it is.

That's one heart rending scene.

[Beausoir]

12. The second time...in the tent.

Ennis comes to Jack, hat in hand, and Jack grabs him and caresses his face and keeps whispering "It's alright. It's alright."

Such tenderness.

[ComerPerro]

13. Still need to see that movie.

[bigwillq]

14. When Ennis finds the shirt....

I cried like a little baby! :cry: :(

I also like Jack and Ennis' confrontation.

But my fave seen is when Ennis is waiting for Jack to arrive. They haven't seen each other in four years. Finally when Ennis hears the car pull up, Ennis jumps up from his chair like a little kid at Christmas. So giddy and happy. Ennis tugs at his belt and walks off to meet his love. That part, although Ennis doesn't really speak, was one of the best scenes.

Heath just captures that moment perfectly.

[Clintmax]

15. Heya, Bigwill!

:hi:
I agree...that's a great scene too!

[bigwillq]

16. It's just a wonderful movie

very well done. A beautiful film.


I'm such a baby though. I started crying when Michelle Williams confronts Heath in the kitchen and I didn't stop crying until after the credits rolled. :cry:


I'm a movie crier. I cried at "50 First Dates" with Adam Sandler. :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. Oh, we've got to see a movie together sometime...

I'm the idiot that cried during "Hoffa"...

[bigwillq]

19. Ok, I'll bring the tissues!

:hi: :pals:


You can buy the popcorn! :P

[Clintmax]

18. I am too.

I've always been soft hearted with stuff like that.

[no name no slogan]

20. The one where the almost get off the island, but Gilligan f*cks it up

Oh wait, wrong movie

[LostinVA]

21. I have Four

1.) The scenes with Jack's parents. Just so poignant and heartbreaking...e specially when you realize BOTH parents figured out about Jack, and that his mother didn't acre, and loved him so much. And, that she pretty much realizes what Ennis meant to Jack... when she put the shirts in the paper bag for Ennis, I just cried and cried....

2.) The shirt scene

3.) Shout-out to Michelle Williams, and her acting. Especially the scene where she sees Ennis and Jack kissing and her desperateness, and at Thanksgiving, where she finally explodes.

4.) Shout-out to Anne Hathaway: her Lurlene turning hard bit by bit... and the scene where she tells Ennis about Jack on the phone, lying the whole time... and for when she realizes who Ennis is. The close-up of her mouth with the nicotine-stained teeth, her intake of breath. Damn! Good acting, Princess Mia!

22. i had a different take on lureen.

i don't think lureen ''knew'' -- i think what mattered to her was that jack was a man that she could manipulate -- have control over the way she did the john deere business.

it was that machinery business that made lureen tick inside and out -- she was like her daddy in that regard.

did she lie to ennis? -- yes.
but maybe to save face as much as anything else.

[LostinVA]

24. I think she knew, because of the way Jack died

Being beaten to death. In the short story, and the movie, I always got the impression she knew... but tried to make believe she didn't. Whereas, Alma knew, and accepted it as a fact, at the same time that she resented and hated that fact.

23. Clintmax, I wish I could quit you.

:P
