karind suggested an idea of making an "official" ennisjack.com postcard which members can print and mail it to BBM. I think it is a great idea.
Let me think it through and I will post more details. We like the movie so much and we should let them know our existence.

She had such a small, but such a massively powerful role in the film.....and I guess we have to say so did ...Peter....ouch can't recall his name...who played Jack's father, but especially Roberta Maxwell's Mrs.Twist should be thanked.

After you have mailed the postcards, please post your date of mailing so we can get an idea how many people have sent. If you want to also post what you write on the card, that would be great too.
Thank you very much for your support. [/size]
This is from the Jake Gyllenhaal mailing list:
Sunspot has organized a Brokeback Mountain Mail Campaign to thank
Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal and Ang Lee for their incredible work
of art which has touched so many of us.
If everyone who wishes to participate sends their cards the same
week, then they are sure to have great impact. There was interest in
sending these cards before the Oscars, and the suggested mailing
date is February 17.
Here is Sunspot's write-up. This will be cross-posted to various
forum threads and we'll also put an alert in the News Box on the
forum home page.
Saying Thanks To Heath & Jake
Brokeback Mountain screenwriters Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana
spoke briefly and answered audience questions after a late-January
American Film Institute screening of the film in Los Angeles. Diana
noted the difficulty they had getting the film produced. Everybody
loved the screenplay, they had relatively little trouble securing
financing and directors, but they could never get two young actors
to commit to playing the roles of Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist.
They'd send the screenplay to a promising young actor, the actor
would read it and contact them immediately, excited about the
project, and then slowly drift away, never to be heard from again.
Maybe the actors worried they weren't up to the task. Maybe they
had second thoughts about playing a man in love with another man.
Maybe their agents or handlers talked them out of it. Whatever the
case, this went on for the better part of a decade. Larry & Diana
never could get two actors to commit to the project at the same
time. Producers and directors came and went, and the film remained
unmade.
It might have stayed that way too, if it hadn't been for Jake
Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger.
Thousands of men – and a startling number of women – have taken the
time to express online and in print how much seeing this film has
impacted them, how much it's meant to them, how deeply it mirrors
the landscape of their own lives. As one man put it, Brokeback
Mountain was the first time he's seen a love story in a theater
where the projector was doing all the projecting, instead of relying
on him to do half of it.
The film has also stirred up a storm of indignation from both
extremes of the culture wars. Elite religious fundamentalists are
horrified by the film's vivid portrayal of the lead characters as
human beings – instead of easily-vilified stereotypes – coping with
the corrosive culture of hate these same fundamentalist leaders
actively promote. Meanwhile, Hollywood gossip mongers and vicious
media queens have taken to dissecting every statement, every gesture
Ledger & Gyllenhaal have made in public, as part of a ridiculous,
holier-than-thou crusade to condemn any perceived homophobia on the
part of the two actors.
I'm sure there must be times when the two of them wonder what they
ever did to merit the shrill braying of so many asses. Like many
pioneers before them, they seem to be amassing quite the collection
of arrows in their backs.
If Brokeback Mountain told some part of your own story or the story
of someone you love, if it made you look at your own experiences and
choices anew, if the performances impressed you or connected with
you in a way you hadn't experienced before, let the actors who gave
life to these characters know that. Let them know that their work
has a meaning to you beyond the Hollywood hype machine, beyond the
media manipulators and their manufactured controversies, beyond the
box office and the awards.
Send them a postcard. Just a simple postcard, perhaps featuring a
photograph of some local landscape or a favorite landmark, maybe
your own Brokeback Mountain. You can pick up a couple of cards at a
gas station along a highway, or at a shop near your local tourist
haunts. Some US post offices even have plain postcards, like the
ones Ennis sent in the film, sporting the new 24-cent postcard
rate. Simply write "Thank you" on each card – the same way Ennis
wrote "You bet" on his reply to Jack – sign your name and address
one to Heath Ledger and one to Jake Gyllenhaal care of their agency:
c/o CAA
9830 Wilshire Blvd.
Beverly Hills, CA 90212-1825
Heath and Jake seem like a couple of thoughtful, perceptive guys.
They had to be, in order to portray their roles in Brokeback
Mountain so vividly and accurately. If they receive a bunch
of "Thank you" postcards from folks scattered around the globe they
should get the message loud and clear, and appreciate it the way so
many have appreciated this film and their thoughtful work in it.
Ang Lee also uses CAA, if you would like to thank him as well.
Chrissy
thanks, Ethan; mine was returned, too, and I sent a note to Chrissy, but never heard back. I'll now send a new letter to Michelle; and another to Ang Lee just to encourage him to use the profits from BBM for more small, explosive interpersonal dramas!!! For the money it cost him to make the poorly received Hulk, he could have made 5 BBMs!
will do!!! they all deserve it.Sent a b-day postcard to Heath today. It says "When everybody else is old and forgotten, your face and name endure.
Sent a b-day postcard to Heath today. It says "When everybody else is old and forgotten, your face and name endure.
Thanks for giving life to Ennis. "You bet" you'll have more wonderful days ahead of you. And have a Happy Birthday!

I sent a thank you letter to Mr. Schamus at Focus Features thanking him for getting BBM onto the silver screen and I actually received a thank you note form him!

i would send a tha kyou card to everyone involved in the film sepecially heath and jake for bringing jack and ennis to life i know i am to late to send a thankyou card to heath so instead i send him my prayers.
Of course,it's difficult to choose one person to send our thanks,because all of them have put their little or great apportion to create the movie.However,I'd send specially some postcards to Ang,for having put it into images,and to Jake,for having put a face and body to one of these two great characters.And for Heath,I only could give him my thanks by putting a candle when I go to a Church and loving him eternally for having given his Ennis to us.And surely,he will receive it more easily than the other two... :\'(
