Why is the "dozy embrace" in the film?

No need to apologize, :D it's a common mistake. Spanish is spoken uin 20 countries and each has their own kind of Spanish, so don't worry. De la Mare sounds italian but it could be portuguese too or French, i don't know.

I was watching La Virgen de los Sicarios (Our Lady of the Assassins) again last night, a movie I really, really like. But between the slang and the accents, much of the dialog is incomprehensible to me. I replayed some scenes over and over trying to get certain words, but in many cases, couldn't, even with a translation. It's annoying, knowing you're missing subtle nuances in a fine film . . .

I've read somewhere that Ennis Del Mar means "island of the sea", but what does Jack Twist means? I had a hard time searching for that thread.

It has to do with rear end muscles needed for bull ridding, I think Anne Proiux writes aout it in "Getting Movied".
