One thing I really noticed about this part of the movie was the juxtaposition between pre-brokeback and post-brokeback. There were similar shots such as the short in the mirror of Ennis before they went up the mountain, and then after as Jack was driving away. Although the shot was the same--Ennis in the side car mirror--the fact that Jack was not looking as Ennis in the first scene, but very close attention in the second scene illuminates the emotional and psychological change that has come over them during the summer. On that same topic, the shots going up and coming down the mountain paralleled nicely, as Lee made a big deal about going up the mountain with long panning shots of country side. However, on the way down, there was just one shot of Jack and Ennis on their horse with the sheep all around them. The big deal about going up the mountain indicated something that was going to grow and develop, and the short shot going down the mountain indicated unfinished business.

Also, I just wanted to touch on the first kiss between Jack and Ennis because it reminded me of Christina's comment when we were debating weather it was a one shot deal, or if Jack and Ennis were really in love. I think it was at that first kiss (because when they first had sex they never kissed) that solidified their love, rather than their lust. The first sexual encounter may have been anamalistic and they may not have meant 'love' by it, but when they finally kissed I do believe they fell in love (or realized they were falling in love, gave into their feelings, ect).
