"You could say that simply depicting this hillbilly heaven accurately is itself an unsettling criticism, yet the effect, again, is to make it seem, in many ways, admirable—its unflagging work ethic, its
quasi-mystical
connection to harvest, soil, livestock, and weather."
West of Eden
by Gary Indiana of the Village Voice.

I am also
regretful
at the departure of our friend Toast.

"'Brokeback' is set in an era before the
Stonewall
[Rebellion] and in an inhospitable locale, which heightens the tension and conflict."

Ennis gave Jack a
tongue-in-cheek
reply when he said: "You may be a sinner, but I ain't yet had the opportunity."

LaShawn is the best example of
verbosity
in this movie.

In the "no business but ours" scene where Jack meets Ennis up on the mountain, Jack is arranged along the X-axis, while Ennis stands, and then crouches, along the
Y-axis

Both Jack and Ennis are
zealants
when it comes to their "fishing" trips: Jack is willing to make a 14-hour drive to Wyoming from Texas a couple of times a year to be with Ennis while Ennis is willing to quit his jobs on short notice to be with Jack.
zealant = one who is zealous
zealous = intensely devoted
