After that magical summer on Brokeback, Ennis' and Jack's lives were never the same.

"O" is Oscar-worthy

 ...  including Ennis's strained, loveless relationship with his wife Alma (Michelle Williams, in an Oscar-worthy turn) -- with a cinematic clarity and stark directness we rarely get from movies these days.         Love Story by R Shulman

The pristine beauty of the mountains helped Jack and Ennis relive their happier days up on Brokeback.

"Q" is queer-themed

Pre-Oscar buzz:

"So, as we await the judgment of the exalted Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences -- don't you wonder what sciences these are, exactly? -- to discover which, if any, of the queer-themed stories or performances will enter the pantheon of Oscar winners, we're left once again to ponder the wider significance of all this hoopla.  As reporters and critics have been asking now for weeks, does this represent a shift in the cultural landscape, a truce in the cultural wars?  Or is it all about marketing, PR and the media fascination with the latest Big Thing that will surely be succeeded by the Next Big Thing?"

R is for rusty

The rusty GMC pickup truck located across from Aguirre's trailer was nearly brand new in 1963!

"S" is sitting

...  Brokeback Mountain is about much more than sexual desire, and Lee makes sure we understand that Ennis and Jake are happy simply sitting beside one another, taking in Wyoming's majestic scenery.     Love Story by R Shulman

"T" is threw

The bulls threw Jack each time he rode one (most of the time before eight seconds).
Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

Ennis unleashes his pent-up feelings for Jack when he shoves him up against the wall to kiss him again after a four-year wait.
