"P" is prevailed

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

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

"Ennis mounts his big rangy buckskin and leads the two mules back up the mountain."   [screenplay]

"S" is supercilious

L.D. Newsome was not only pompous–and a bit stupid–but supercilious as well.

Def. Disdainfully arrogant; haughty

"T" is trapped

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.

"U" is unabashedly

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."     Men in Love - A Brokeback Review by David Leavitt

"V" is views

"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]

Jack took a walk on the wild side when he went cruising in Mexico.

"X" is xtemporaneously
« Reply #5638 on: August 05, 2006, 11:50:18 am »
Ennis didn't have much talent for speaking xtemporaneously; thus, the lame replies, like "He's from Texas."

"Y" is yokes
« Reply #5639 on: August 05, 2006, 12:53:33 pm »
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.
