Brokeback Mountain Page #7

Synopsis: Two young men, Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist, meet when they get a job as sheep herders on Brokeback Mountain. They are at first strangers, then they become friends. Throughout the weeks, they grow closer as they learn more about each other. One night, after some heavy drinking, they find a deeper connection. They then indulge in a blissful romance for the rest of the summer. Unable to deal with their feelings for each other, they part ways at the end of the summer. Four years go by, and they each settle down, Ennis in Wyoming with his wife and two girls, and Jack in Texas with his wife and son. Still longing for each other, they meet back up, and are faced with the fact that they need each other. They undeniably need each other, and unsure of what to do, they start a series of "fishing trips", in order to spend time together. The relationship struggles on for years until tragedy strikes.

Song:
"He Was A Friend Of Mine"

performed by Willie Nelson

He was a friend of mine

Every time I think of him

I just can't keep from cryin'

'Cause he was a friend of mine

He died on the road

He just kept on moving

Never reaped what he could sow

And he was a friend of mine

I stole away and cried

'Cause I never had too much money

And I never been quite satisfied

And he was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine

Every time I hear his name Lord

I just can't keep from cryin'

'Cause he was a friend of mine

Song:
"The Maker Makes"

performed by Rufus Wainwright

One more chain I break

to get me closer to you

One more chain does the maker make

to keep me from bustin' through

One more notch I scratch

to keep me thinkin' of you

One more notch

does the maker make

upon my face so blue

Oh Lord, how I know

Oh Lord, how I see

that only can the maker make

a happy man of me

Get along little doggies...

Get along...
