Brokeback Mountain - Screening Notes

Traditional cowboy figures seen as masculine
fetching pails of water
sawing and chopping wood
basic survival skills all while riding horses, wearing jeans, boots and a cowboy hat
tending to and carrying the sheep across the river and fixing their hoofs.
aggressive, not sensual, sexual tension between jack an ennis
wrestling, physical altercations preceded and follow snuggle/cuddle
Instead of listening to his wife while in bed ennis asserts his dominance
at the fireworks show ennis physically protects his family from a couple of wise guys
Jack eventually shows interest in girls when anne hathaway shows up
during the reunion outside the apartment jack and ennis again has an overly aggression embrace
so ennis and jack are selfish assholes. 
aggression and frustration are exhibited by repeatedly kicking a can
