Brokeback Mountain.

Possibly the first Ang Lee movie that I liked, maybe because I had already heard a lot about it and imagined how it would be like. From the Hindi movie Sholay, said to be similar to it to Brokeback Mountain was a far leap, but I enjoyed it. For one thing, Sholay takes off at a fast pace, not quite preparing us for what is to come, and the sorrow when it comes is a personal one, abrupt and heart-rending. Sholay also tries to make the ending uplifting by showing the survivor getting a happily ever after with his girl. Brokeback Mountain makes no such pretenses. It is melancholic from the start, absorbing us into the lives of these two men, their women and their relationship. When he dies, it pulls the rug from under our feet but in a way we always knew nothing good was every going to happen to the both of them, the way the whole movie was shot. Such beautiful shots too, small, quiet scenes, letting the negatives do the talking. Precious.
Small things, like Ennis not talking much, or not making eye-contact in the beginning or this line "Speak for yourself.  You may be a sinner, but I ain't yet had the opportunity" indicate his characters. The difference in their clothing, mannerisms, gentleness. 
Alma and Ennis watching SURF PARTY, and then watching KOJAK years later, and the difference in how they're sitting, their children, their mood, their attitudes, the way they talk to each other. 
Roger Miller's "King of the Road." is playing when Jack is going to see Ennis; he's so happy, excited, singing along emphatically. 
The soul of the movie is so clear in this little scene > 

flashback in 1963 on Brokeback Mountain at daybreak:

(JACK stands half asleep at fire, as ENNIS approaches from behind and wraps his arms around him and rocks him.) 

ENNIS  Come on now, you're sleepin' on your feet like a horse.  My mama used to say that to me when I was little . . .  and sing to me . . .  (hums a song)  I gotta go.  See you in the mornin'. 

(ENNIS gives JACK one more hug as JACK nods slightly, then lets JACK go.  As ENNIS leaves, we see JACK's face, with an expression of love and longing.)

ONE : PETER PAN>

Going back to the original Peter Pan after watching the Disney version at least fifteen times was...interesting. Peter is actually an asshole! Wow! (Honestly, I never liked Peter after the way he treated Tink anyway, but now I don't like him at all, except as an asshole. He is such a delicious asshole.)

First impression of the book, positive joyous exclamation wishing for something to last forever is supposed to be positive and joyous. "Oh, why can't you remain like this for ever!" Brings to mind, "They spoil every romance by trying to make it last forever."

"Two is the beginning of the end." Jesus, yes, I so fucking do not want to grow up. I used to be able to fly in my dreams, and now I can't.

perambulator = a small vehicle with four wheels in which a baby or child is pushed around

NANA ❤ "She believed to her last day in old-fashioned remedies like rhubarb leaf, and made sounds of contempt over all this new-fangled talk about germs, and so on."

"The gaiety of those romps!"

"Mrs. Darling first heard of Peter when she was tidying up her children's minds. It is the nightly custom of every good mother after her children are asleep to rummage in their minds and put things straight for next morning, repacking into their proper places the many articles that have wandered during the day. If you could keep awake (but of course you can't) you would see your own mother doing this, and you would find it very interesting to watch her. It is quite like tidying up drawers. You would see her on her knees, I expect, lingering humorously over some of your contents, wondering where on earth you had picked this thing up, making discoveries sweet and not so sweet, pressing this to her cheek as if it were as nice as a kitten, and hurriedly stowing that out of sight. When you wake in the morning, the naughtiness and evil passions with which you went to bed have been folded up small and placed at the bottom of your mind and on the top, beautifully aired, are spread out your prettier thoughts, ready for you to put on." This is my favorite paragraph. (Though my mom might see such things in my mind that make her throw me out.)

mea culpa = used as an acknowledgement of one's fault or error. Latin, my fault. 

"No one could ever look quite so merry as Peter, and the loveliest of gurgles was his laugh. He had his first laugh still." Hehehe.

"Tink was not all bad; or, rather, she was all bad just now, but, on the other hand, sometimes she was all good. Fairies have to be one thing or the other, because being so small they unfortunately have room for one feeling only at a time. They are, however, allowed to change, only it must be a complete change." Precious TINK ❤❤

RACONTEUR = a person who tells anecdotes in a skilful and amusing way.

"He was never more sinister than when he was most polite, which is probably the truest test of breeding; and the elegance of his diction, even when he was swearing, no less than the distinction of his demeanour, showed him one of a different cast from his crew." MY OWN, HOOK ❤❤❤ HE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND NOBLE IN THE BOOK WHY HAVE THEY REDUCED HIM TO A TYPICAL VILLAIN IN THE MOVIE, HE IS MORE THAN THAT, DISNEYYY!!! "BAD FORM", GOOD FORM, BAD FORM, DEATH BY BAD FORM, GOOD FORM, YAY!

seigneur =  a feudal lord, the lord of a manor.
