The film director and cinematographer deliberately select locales that will embellish a film's themes or atmosphere.  They will also position the camera to show certain angles -- shooting a character or landscape in a certain way to highlight some aspect. In my opinion there were some scenes that stood out more than others like for instance, there was a scene where Jake meets Anne for the first time and they are at a rodeo. .She was seducing him at that time dressed in red, being a seductress and Jake fell for it because he was getting rejected and feeling vulnerable and lonely himself. I'm pretty sure Jake was wearing blue, he always seemed lonely and sad. The directed made everything in warm colors and somewhat dark shading. The world we were privileged to learn about seemed so sad and lonely with moments of solidarity, friendship, and love lighting passionate fires twice a year on Brokeback Mountain.

The movie is so sad I can't imagine how heth ledgers wife when is seen here has been kissing the other guy and she must've felt so I am leaning in isolated from her at Marion general life realizing who he truly loves. I’m surprised she stayed with him the long. It's as if they were living a lie together just for the 3 children's sake but eventually and can't last long in the voice happened.

In conclusion I choose one or maybe more of such a scene that I deemed as important or just fascinating, and describe its impact on characterization, theme or the atmosphere of the setting. So in that case, there are a few scenes, One scene is the story heth  of his father and how he took him to see what happens to homosexuals which they get beaten to death. So he always has this anger because he loves jake and he doesn’t know what to do about; he knows he doesn’t want to die. The anger heth showed leaving Jake for the first time leaving him, missing him, and right about to marry his love, he blows up and punches the barn, starts crying and wanting to get in a fight with anyone who ask if he is alright or evens looks at him funny. The movie is so sad and leaves there mourning or crying over the whole situation. I think it is such a tragedy similar to Romeo and Juliet. but this case Jake gets killed and Heth carries out his last request to spread some if his ashes on Brokeback Mountain.

please forgive me for posting this draft. I posted my final right after this one, hope I don't get marked down. I changed the names of the characters. Check out my final draft the second thread I replied with.

That scene was a very harsh seen in the movie and very hard on Ennis. I must agree that i feel that scene was important in helping people understand why Ennis was so cold to Jack because he feared for his life, thanks to his father.

I think you are right about Lureen being portrayed as a seductress. The bright red lips and costume lured Jack right in. However, he realized early on that he was not happy in that situation and sought out what he wanted but could not have completely. The same was true for Ennis when he fell to the ground and punched the building, it was as if someone had died and that he did have to re-live at the end.
