"L" is lovey-dovey

On Brokeback, Jack and Ennis showed their affection more through roughhousing than by being lovey-dovey.

"Annie Proulx's 1997 short story movingly compressed the long-arc love story of two loner ranch hands into 30 tight pages."

We hear Emmylou sing the song as Jack laments his never-to-be-fulfilled dream of a sweet life with Ennis.

"O" is oldsters

The oldsters at both the Childress and Riverton Thanksgiving gatherings proved to the youngsters that growing up did not mean never having to say you're sorry.

The plot of Brokeback Mountain  revolves around the complex relationship of rodeo cowboy Jack Twist and ranch hand Ennis del Mar, two teenagers who met and fell in love while herding sheep on the titular mountain in 1963.

After L.D. remarked to Lureen: "You want your son to grow up to be a man, don't you?", Jack threatened to knock his "ignorant ass into next week."

"U" is uninformed

An excerpt from the Associated Press's telephone interview with Annie Proulx:

AP:  You've said this story took twice as long to write as a novel. Why?

Proulx:  Because I had to imagine my way into the minds of two uneducated, rough-spoken, uninformed young men, and that takes some doing if you happen to be an elderly female person. I spent a great deal of time thinking about each character and the balance of the story, working it out, trying to do it in a fair kind of way.
