Brokeback Mountain flashback

The most difficult scene was the paragraph where on the mountain Ennis holds Jack and rocks back and forth humming the moment mixed with childhood loss and his refusal to admit he was holding a man. This paragraph took forever to get right and I played Charlie Haden and Pat Methenys Spiritual from their album Beyond the Missouri Sky Short Storiesuncountable times trying to get the words. I was trying to write the inchoate feelings of Jack and Ennis the sad impossibility of their liaison which for me was expressed in that music. To this day I cannot hear that track without Jack and Ennis appearing before me. Annie Proulx BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN STORY TO SCREENPLAY,
