Thanks for posting this.

thank you so much for posting this interview.

Ang Lee is a master filmmaker, no doubt about it

I knew David Lamble for several years. I miss him. Anyone know how to contact him?

McMurtry and Ossana optioned the short story in 1997 from Annie Proulx, who wrote the short story. They had written the script long before Ang Lee agreed to direct the film. He didn't develop the script with them; it had been written and was ready to film. In interviews, the writers said they asked Ang Lee twice if he would direct the film, and the first time he said no because he was going to do The Hulk. After The Hulk, Ossana asked him a second time, and he said yes. It was clear in the script that this is a story about two men who fall in love. Ennis is homophobic and doesn't allow himself to admit he's gay. It seems pretty obvious in the film as well. It's about rural homophobia and the damage it causes. Very odd he would say it's not "clear".
