Review title: An absolute "must have"
Product review: A "must-have" for anyone who has been touched by this extraordinary, complex, and profound film. (To describe "Brokeback Mountain" simply as a love story between two men is like describing "Moby Dick" as a story about deep-sea fishing.) Comparing the movie script with the original short story helps you see the various layers and subtexts underlying the main story line and leads to a deeper understanding of both the short story and the film. Highly recommended also for anyone who has not yet read Proulx --- her work is unforgettable. She can create a more stunning impact with fewer words than any writer I know. Her essay on being "movied" is fascinating, including, among other things, her inspiration for some of the major scenes in the book; the pieces by Larry McMurtry and Dana Ossana are very rewarding to read. It's a terrific story, a fabulous and haunting film, and this book helps you realize how much is being said in both of them.
