Movies like Brokeback are the reason why I go to the theater. I honestly feel all warm inside every time I think about this movie.
I got the DVD just recently from my mother-in-law (I love that woman) and was a little disappointed with the lack of additional features. Now, a 2-disc collector's edition to be released on January 23 is set to address that issue and do some justice to Brokeback. When it comes to this movie I just can't get enough.
The 2-disc set is packed with loads of exclusive bonus features, including a new original documentary where producers and cast talk about the movie and the attention it garnered; a featurette with composer Gustavo Santaolalla where we see Willie Nelson performing Bob Dylan's "He Was a Friend of Mine"; and a featurette in which Heath and Jakey show us how they prepared for their scenes (yummers). There is a lot of great stuff in this 2-disc set.
You can win the 2-disc collector's edition DVD from the Beacon. To participate, just answer the following three questions related to the movie:
1.- What is the name of the actor who played a Mexican hustler picked up by Jake's character?
2.- What was the name of Heath Ledger's character older daughter (the name of the character, not the actress)?
3.- Who wrote the short story that was adapted into the movie?
Here are the rules: You need to answer the questions in a comment to this post by 10am Thursday (US Pacific Time), you can submit as many comments as you'd like. I will make a draw with the comments from the people who got it right, and announce the winners on Thursday (January 18, 2007). Each of the two winners gets one set. Sorry international readers, but the DVDs can only be mailed to addresses in either the US or Canada. Good luck!
