Just saw Brokeback Mountain again today. **** our of four.
This is a much deeper movie than I'd first realized, and Ang Lee has left a lot of things for the audience to discover, or to reinforce on a second viewing. Such as:
Spoiler: Jack's parents knew he was gay and knew Ennis was his lover when he came to visit. Jack's mother accepted this, and was making a gesture of friendship by suggesting he go to Jack's room and suggesting that he visit from time to time. Jack's dad knew and resented it, which was why he refused to have the ashes scattered on Brokeback. There are a dozen scenes filled with nuances like this, unspoken dialog that fills the silences.
