more on brokeback mountain.....

ok, so......i do have more to say about the movie.......that i didn't get to say over dinner given that my mother was there and she made it clear that she wasn't about to talk about that movie.....there were touches that i found pleasing/telling about the cowboys....the movie begins with ennis carrying his few belongings in a paper sack.......and there is a critical moment late in the film when he leaves with essentials in another paper sack.......that was such a touching and tender tear-filled moment.......say what you will about the morality of love......that scene was one of genuine love......and supurb acting.....it also illustrated simply how ennis was a man who needed very little, especially with words to express himself, but what he did need he needed deeply......i was moved by the scene where jack shows up from texas after he learns of the divorce....and he gets all mad that ennis won't change his planned weekend with his daughters to go fishing with jack......ennis wasn't about to abandon his children as he himself had been left alone.....yeah,yeah,yeah...not abandoned in the same way....but left alone when he could have been there....ennis couldn't do that......i have seen a few other heath ledger movies.....regretable movies......but his performance was as fine as olivier in this venue......i believe he was a cowboy torn between love for his family and his way of life....and love for the love of his life.................and that would be a hard emotion to fake if you were just a marginal actor............
