Round 191
« Reply #5280 on: July 30, 2006, 11:03:03 pm »
Round 191
We've only just begun.


We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
(We've only begun)

Before the risin' sun, we fly
So many roads to choose
We'll start out walkin' and learn to run
And yes, we've just begun

Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
Together

And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes, we've just begun

The Carpenters

"Jack slid his cold hand between Ennis's legs, said he was worried about his boy who was, no doubt about it, dyslexic or something, couldn't get anything right, fifteen years old and couldn't hardly read, he could see it though goddamn Lureen wouldn't admit to it and pretended the kid was o.k., refused to get any bitchin' kind a help about it."  [short story]

Ennis was like a babe in the woods as far as his sexual experience before Tent Scene 1.

"They had stood that way for a long time in front of the fire, its burning tossing ruddy chunks of light, the shadow of their bodies a single column against the rock. "
(From the short story's description of the dozy embrace.........)

"D" is declivity

The sheep--and the boys--had to navigate a sometimes not-so-simple declivity while bringing the sheep down Brokeback.

Ennis didn't need too much enticement to enter the tent.

"They shook hands in the choky little trailer office in front of a table littered with scribbled papers, a Bakelite ashtray brimming with stubs."   [short story]

More than in the short story, women are an integral part of the movie.
