Brokeback Mountain

Good question, I initially wondered that myself as well.  I'm pretty sure now that it is what really happened.  There is no precedent in the movie for a POV "imagination scene", the only other flashback was true reality.  It is obvious he met an untimely end (from Lureen's stilted conversation and I hear it is told outright in the short story), so why would they live it ambigious? 

I need to find a copy of that short story.  I figured the answer would be clearer there.

In the book it's pretty ambiguous too from the quote I read.  I'll see if I can find it on iMDB, although that is such a troll feed I'm not sure I want to go there.

From IMDB:  Heath Ledger has a nude scene in which he jumps into a lake. The director intends to edit any actual frontal nudity out of the film, but a paparazzo took photos of Ledger with a digital camera. The photos have appeared on the Internet and in some press publications.

I totally saw his junk when he jumped off that cliff.

yeah.    Me too.

Also from iMDB (spoilers within)

SPOILER: Ang Lee recounted in several interviews that when Michelle Williams needed to film a scene in which her character is devastated to discover that her husband is involved with another man, she asked Heath Ledger (her off-screen, as well as on-screen, love interest) and Jake Gyllenhaal to stand off camera and make out for her benefit. Ledger and Gyllenhaal agreed, and when she thought their kissing was not involved enough, she asked them to intensify it.

I want THAT job.

I wonder if it was the angle, or if he's really that much more endowed than Jake.

Hah!  I read that, too.  I think maybe she liked it.

I think this requires more investigation.

We should write them and ask for comparison pics.

Can't you tell by which one walks funnier when they come home?

[DownSouth]

I guess cowboys butts drive them nuts.  I'll probably never see this movie.  Not because of the gay part.  I just hate romantic dramas.

[Jessie]

I don't know if romantic drama is right.  It's more of a tragedy, I think.

[DownSouth]

Even worse.  I'll stick with comedy or action.

Hah!  That's what I was thinking "the morning after" when you see them.  "Hey- neither is walking funny!"

NSFW and not particularly flattering.

That looks like Heath Ledger, but not the other guy.

I sure hope so.

It looked bigger than that once he jumped.

Some guys are excited by DANGER.

[Jessie]

That's great.

Just call him Donnie Darko.  That's what he'll always be to me.  Not Jarhead or bubbleboy, moonlight mile kid.


Peyton Manning's after game quotes sounded like Ennis
