As Ennis lay shivering with teeth chattering in the cold, Jack
prevailed
on him to join him in the warmth of the tent.

L.D. Newsome was not only pompous–and a bit stupid–but
supercilious
as well.
Def. Disdainfully arrogant; haughty

Ennis feels
trapped
by his feelings,
trapped
by the marriage he has,
trapped
by the relationship he wants but can't have,
trapped
by society, and
trapped
by his own feelings of guilt, doubt, fear.

Its stars are
unabashedly
glamorous. The big-eyed Jake Gyllenhaal is a far cry from Proulx's small, bucktoothed Jack Twist, just as the blond, square-jawed Heath Ledger is nothing like her Ennis Del Mar, "scruffy and a little cave-chested."

"Breathtaking
views
. Sheep grazing, dogs sleeping, Ennis and Jack tending the sheep. The sheep spread out onto the expansive treeless plain, nothing in sight but sky and land, high clouds."
[the screenplay's description of the montage of the moving sheep]

Ennis didn't have much talent for speaking
xtemporaneously
; thus, the lame replies, like "He's from Texas."

"Y" is yokes

Reply #5639 on:

Several of the shirts worn in the movie have contrasting
yokes
. For example, the bartender who gives Jack the 411 on Lureen is wearing a solid-color shirt with a contrasting plaid yoke. Lureen's rodeo shirt also has a contrasting yoke (and sleeves).
def: The yoke of a shirt is the fabric that comes over the shoulders and is attached to the back piece with a horizontal seam.
