"N" is nobility

Jack's mother demonstrated a true nobility of the soul when Ennis came to pay his respects after Jack's death.

=compliment= Mikaela
Beautifully expressed!

"O" is otherness
« Reply #5241 on: July 29, 2006, 09:40:43 am »
Ennis, recognizing his otherness:  "And then you go out on the pavement and everyone's lookin' at ya like they all know, too?"

otherness:  The quality of being not alike; being distinct or different from that otherwise experienced or known.

=aside= Mikaela
Very nice, we all could use some "nobility of the soul".

"P" is perspicacious
« Reply #5242 on: July 29, 2006, 10:11:52 am »
Mrs. Twist was a perspicacious woman; by sensing what Ennis and Jack meant to each other, she demonstrated a refined character and highly attuned wisdom.

=compliment= Tim
A beautiful choice of words here!

Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

"Q" is quilt-covered

In Jack's boyhood bedroom, the quilt-covered bed was pushed up against the wall.

"R" is rapture
« Reply #5244 on: July 29, 2006, 11:36:58 am »
Ennis and Jack meet several times a year over the next couple of decades for visits into the wilderness to rediscover the epiphanic, transcendental rapture they found on Brokeback Mountain.

"S" is stinging

“He stepped back and looked at the ensemble through a few stinging tears.” 

 From the short story – Ennis’ reaction after hanging the shirts and postcard in his closet.

"T" is torqued
« Reply #5246 on: July 29, 2006, 11:58:42 am »
"...somehow, as a coat hanger is straightened to open a locked car and then bent again to its original shape, they torqued things almost to where they had been, for what they'd said was no news.  Nothing ended, nothing begun, nothing resolved."   [short story]

"U" is upon
« Reply #5247 on: July 29, 2006, 12:04:09 pm »
The huge sadness of the northern plains rolls down upon Ennis. He doesn't know which way it was, the tire iron - or a real accident, blood choking down Jack's throat and nobody to turn him over.
The wind drones.   [screenplay - during phone call to Lureen.]

"V" is volcano

As soon as Ennis could embrace Jack after their four years apart, he went on to prove himself a veritable volcano of eruptive passion.

"W" is waste

L.D. considered Jack a total waste of time as an employee and a son-in-law.
