:The image was moved to [[Cowboy]]; it had nothing to do with the article, which should have either a proper movie poster or a still from the film. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 09:42, 31 October 2008 (EDT)

:: Or perhaps one of the actors, etc., but yes, something more directly related to the film. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 10:27, 31 October 2008 (EDT)

:::The dilemma I faced was: the article had become long enough that an image would be good to break up all the text, but it seemed to me that the movie poster and images from the film would be protected under copyright (and worse, protected by companies who fiercely defend any bit of intellectual property). So I decided to find an image that at least evoked the same setting and posture as the movie poster: the cowboys aren't looking directly at us, their heads hang low, one's head is partially shadowed by his hat, the sky is clouded, etc. You can easily ascribe all the guilt, contemplation, etc of the original movie poster to these cowboys, even though I doubt they're facing the same issues. I thought it was a pretty good find and it took me a long time to come across it. In response to ToJones, the cowboys are clearly looking to the right, their minds occupied with looking at the cows and the rodeo competition. In other words, they're preoccupied with their jobs (like the Brokeback Mountain boys should have been). I thought this implication was obvious. -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 13:25, 31 October 2008 (EDT)
