Blog Ten. Brokeback Mountain. “This thing grabs hold of us, wrong place, wrong time, we’re dead.”


I have to include as well these 2 other lines of dialogue from different parts of the movie:

        Ennis: “We can get together every once in a while out in the middle of  nowhere.”
           •
        Jack: “The truth is sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it.”


As we often request, when you answer the questions, try to draw on specifics from the movie. 

1. What scene stands out for you and why?

2.  First of all, how would you describe the two characters, Ennis (Ledger) and Jack (Gyllenhaal)? Write a couple of sentences for each telling how you see them as people.

3. What causes them to have made compromises in their lives?   What are the benefits of these?  What are the costs?

4.  How has this movie affected your thinking about homosexuality?
