place that brought the two men together always. To start off, first what the story is about. Set against the sweeping vistas of Wyoming and Texas, the film tells the story of two young men, a ranch-hand Ennis Del Mar, played by the late actor Heath Ledger and a rodeo cowboy Jack Twist, where in the film is played by actor Jake Gylllenhaal, who meet in the summer of 1963, and unexpectedly forge a lifelong connection, one whose complications, joys, and tragedies provide a testament to the endurance

Burning. Massive flames. A dark shape emerges. Growing. Filling the space with blackness. Blinding light, moving over the towers of a city. The light closes in on the buildings, consuming them, consuming you. Can’t escape, can’t breathe, completely overwhelmed. When suddenly you hear “CUT!”, and find yourself on a movie set, watching a scene that just get shot, back in the real world.

The story is about the relationship between Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar, two cowboys

What is the typical menu of villainous images placed before us when we dine out at a movie theater?
