"A" is absence

In Jack's case absence made the fond heart wander, but the reunion definitely made his heart grow fonder.

Alma was busy cooking dinner and didn't notice the effect Jack's initial postcard had on her husband.

"C" is casually

Ennis reacted casually to the postcard, even though he was seething with emotion, just holding it in his hand.

When Ennis sees the postcard, it dredges up old memories.

"E" is ever-present

EXT:  DEL MAR APARTMENT:  RIVERTON:  LATE AFTERNOON:  CONTINUOUS:  1967:

The ever-present wind blowing, dust swirls.

JACK gets out of his pickup, stiff, his beat-up Resistol tilted back on his head, holds it steady to keep it from blowing off.  [screenplay]

Ennis was thankful that Jack forgot to bring the harmonica.

After the dive off the cliff, we hear a chorus of groaning; that water must be cold.

"H" is hamburger
« Reply #11257 on: February 16, 2007, 01:34:27 pm »
In the 2005 screenplay, Alma is cooking greasy hamburger, when Ennis returns to find a postcard waiting for him.
However, in the 2003 and 2004 screenplays, Alma was cooking chicken fried steak.   The meat was changed after Annie Proulx made it clear that chicken fried steak was not a common meal in Wyoming.

In the movie, we cannot tell what she's cooking, and Ennis doesn't really care anymore.

"I" is intact

Even though Jack said he was busted up from rodeoing, Ennis thought he sure seemed intact.

"J" is joys

The physical and emotional joys experienced by Ennis and Jack at the reunion have to be put on hold until the next time they can be together.
