I found the accents and style to be authentic; I was left with the taste of the south and cowboy in my mouth&#8230; :\/   The way the first sex scene occurred was unrealistic to me, but other than that I was happy with the story line. I thought about homosexuality amongst any given population, and came to the conclusion that it must have happened in every society, so the argument, &#8221; There were no gay cowboys&#8221; seems to be more of a macho hope than a reality.<\/p>\n<p>I am left with 3 questions. <strong>DON&#8217;T READ IF YOU HAVEN&#8217;T SEEN THE MOVIE!!!

The STORY ( go to this site to read the story: http:\/\/www.angelfire.com\/psy\/kittythehitwoman\/Brokeback_Mountain_by_Annie_Proulx.doc)  itself is even more ambiguous than the movie. The cause of Jack&#8217;s death is left vague. Personally I think he was murdered, but there&#8217;s the implication that the murder sequence (which doesn&#8217;t exist in the story) is simple Ennis&#8217; fears visualizing. But I don&#8217;t buy that Jack died of a blown tire explosion.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Let me know what you think!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A-: Great acting, good story though the first sex scene occurred unrealistically to me.
