Premise: Set in Texas and Wyoming, this is the romantic tale of two male cowboys from very different backgrounds who meet and fall in love while working together as sheep ranch hands near Wyoming's Brokeback Mountain the summer of 1961. Their lives take different courses, however, with Jack Twist (Gyllenhaal) becoming a rodeo cowboy while Ennis Del Mar (Ledger) remains a ranch hand, and the film follows their lives as they see each other again over the next 20 years. Their relationship is rocky, however, as they must deal with the challenges posed as the intolerance of pre-(and post)-Stonewall rural America rears its ugly, violent head against the two lovers.

Xiao E you might want to check out this upcoming new movie directed by Ang Lee "Brokeback Mountain." I saw a preview at the theater today and was floored by how it seems relevant to the story you are writing. And the short story on which it was based was also written by a woman author. I don't know if the preview is online somewhere. The movie is scheduled to open on December 9, 2005 (for the Oscar season, no doubt).
