Brokeback Mountain: Difference between revisions

* [[Ascended Meme]]: The "[[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|Brokeback Whatever]]" parodies on Youtube--from ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uwuLxrv8jY Brokeback to the Future]'' to ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omB18oRsBYg&feature=related Star Wars: The Empire Brokeback]'' to... well, you can look around. There's a LOT of them, and most of them are surprisingly funny.

* [[The Beard]]: Both boys have them. But whereas Lureen dispassionately manages Jack's accounts and is semi-aware of his habits, Ennis neglects and resents the women in his life.

* {{spoiler|[[Bury Your Gays]]: Jack is killed in what is said to be an accident, but Ennis suspects otherwise. Somewhat justified due to the setting and time period. A key reason Ennis keeps his feelings close to the chest is because as a child he literally saw what became of a gay man who didn't hide his orientation (and doesn't even discount the possibility his own father helped kill the man); this is why when he is told of the accident that killed Jack, he sees in his mind a similar killing as what really happened}}.

* [[But Not Too Gay]]: A common complaint is how little screen time the intimacy between the men got compared to the relationships to their wives.

* [[Clint Squint]]: Ennis's departing scene with Jack. ''"Now you listen here Jack-[[Precision F-Strike|fuckin']]-Twist..."''

* [[The Coroner Doth Protest Too Much]]: {{spoiler|Jack}} while "fixing a flat".

* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Inverted with Lureen, who frosts up as the years pass.

* {{spoiler|[[Downer Ending]]}}: Excuse me... [[Sand in My Eyes|I have something in my eye]].

* [[Everything's Worse with Bears]]: As Ennis can attest.

* [[Flash Back]]: Two -- {{spoiler|Ennis' childhood memory of being taken to see the remains of a murdered gay man, and Jack's memory of Ennis holding him during their summer on Brokeback}}.

* [[Gayngst]]

* [[Good Parents]]: Jack's Mother, as far as we can tell. {{spoiler|When Ennis shows up after Jack's death, they seem pretty clear on what his relationship was with their son, while Jack's father makes it clear he viewed his son as a failure, Jack's mother clearly devastated at her son's death welcomes Ennis. She asks him to come back someday and visit and lets him take Jack's shirt even placing it in a bag for him}}.

* [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?]]: Basically their entire cultural background demanded it as an absolute.

* [[If It's You It's Okay]]: Possible explanation of Ennis's feelings for Jack.

* [[IKEA Erotica]]: The tent scene. Anyone who tries anal sex like that is in for a world of hurt.
