how 'bout READ THE STORY?

i'm not a fan of short stories generally but Proulx's Brokeback Mountain was excellent for its spare use of language to draw out the characters of these two men.

It was an evocative story well worth reading.

From what i gather, the movie has been 'filled out' with narrative to build up the 'non gay' portion of the cowboys' lives. Unfortunately, the only thing this does is take the focus away from the core relationship that these two men have.

I'll wait til the movie comes out on video to see Jake and Heath.
