I love the little details that tie scenes together. I have seen a lot of parallels in this movie
jack losing his hat bullriding, lureen losing her hat racing. Ennis being hugged from behind by Jack with his hands in a diagonal on ennis's chest in the beginning of Brokeback and then later when they have grown older, Ennis coming up behind Jack. It shows a change in who has i guess the "power" in the relationship. *
one of my favorite details is funny and not as descrete as other clever details. when alma and ennis are have sex and he turns her over, I laughed a little and then felt terrible for alma. The obvious cause of this position, an inuendo to gay sex.
another scene that i found wonderful was when ennis dropped the kids off at the grocery store and his daughter broke nearly all of the jars. That encounter with the manager was needed and added another dimension to seeing her with him as the new husband. Whoa i just had a thought i think she was cheating on ennis with him because she was taking on extra shifts (like when she ran out on ennis and he was like, any of you need a push?).
*questionable.. anyone have something to say about whether they have changed or not?
