Question on Brokeback
I finally got around to getting the DVD, I mostly liked the flick although it made me kinda sad, but I had a hard time making out some of the dialogue...but I mostly was able to figure it out except for the very last line Heath says looking at the shirt in his trailer...I've re-wound it and listened about 20 times and still can't understand what he said. Anybody know? thanks

1. I have to watch it again to find out.
I couldn't understand half the things Heath was saying in the first half of the movie.

2. Click the "English subtitles" on at the beginning, before "Play."
I turn on the subtitles now for nearly every movie -- you learn not to see them when you don't need them, but if you miss dialog you can back up a few frames and read what they said....(I learned this from a very young friend, would never have thought of it myself......)

"Language" is listed with "Trailers" and "Interviews" and "Deleted Scenes" usually on a menu somewhere at the beginning. Or maybe there's a "subtitles" button on your remote (Mine has one).

3. Isn't it the line from the short story?
"Jack, I swear ..."

4. I remember that part, but I forget exactly what he said.
I got the feeling as though in speaking to the shirt, he was speaking to Jack's spirit/presence - sort of like, "I love you, Jack."

6. He loves
and it was Jack who finally got through to him. Anyway, that was what I got out of it. He made the decision to go with love for his daughter instead of his work.
