Jack and Ennis eventually gave into their
desire
for each other.

Jack's
exuberance
was infectious, and finally brought a smile to Ennis's face.
def: joyously unrestrained and enthusiastic

Ennis got his initial sexual experience
firsthand
, starting when Jack first placed his hand on his crotch.

Obviously missing Jack more than anyone realized, Ennis extended him an exuberant
greeting
when they met after four years apart.

The screenplay calls Ennis' sparely furnished trailer "an
homage
to plains life minimalism".

"As rendered in Proulx’s story, Jack had 'some weight in the haunch and his smile disclosed buckteeth,' while Ennis had a 'high-arched nose and narrow face . . . scruffy and a little cave-chested.' In the film’s major concession to commercial viability, both Gyllenhaal and Ledger are decidedly prettier than Proulx’s
inventions
. That in no way minimizes their performances."

Of any scene in the film, Ennis had the
jolliest
look on his face when he saw Jack arrive after their four-year separation.

Christ, Ennis.
You had a fuckin' week to say some
kinda
word about this."

To say that Ennis had a
laconic
personality is an understatement.
def: terse, untalkative.

"Jack pulled a squalling burr out of the harmonica, flattened a little from a fall off the skittish bay mare, and Ennis had a good raspy voice; a few nights they
mangled
their way through some songs...."
