Fifth time, and the screenplay

Well, I saw Brokeback Mountain for the fifth time this afternoon. Each crowd I see it with is a little different in their reactions: where and how much laughter, crying, exclaiming of surprise. I cried more than the third and fourth times; just a different day and theater than last Friday, I guess.

Finished reading the screenplay today. It does help in understanding the intentions of the screenwriters, and in understanding the transition from short story to finished film. I'd recommend Brokeback Mountain: Story To Screenplay to anyone who loves this film.

Sadly, I'll probably have to wait until next weekend to see the movie again. Sigh....
