"Q" is quirkiness
« Reply #7581 on: October 05, 2006, 10:21:58 am »
"I read one of her (Annie Proulx's) previous books, The Shipping News, and couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t stop reading a book about such weird people.  Brokeback Mountain has some the same character quirkiness.  It also haunts you for days after reading it."

"R" is redemptive
« Reply #7582 on: October 05, 2006, 10:34:51 am »
Those of us who are left (watching Brokeback Mountain) get the full emotional weight of the scene as the repressed man finally allows himself the redemptive pleasure of a little expression.

"S" is straighten

Ennis felt that he had to straighten things out with Jack after what happened the previous night in Tent Scene I.

  • Brokeback got us good.
"T" is tension-filled
« Reply #7584 on: October 05, 2006, 11:35:16 am »
Ennis jerked his hand away like he'd touched fire, reared up, and for a long, tension-filled moment, Jack and Ennis just stared at each other.

Happy birthday to our Mayor and Founder, Will-ABC!

"U" in untenable
« Reply #7585 on: October 05, 2006, 11:44:49 am »
Ledger keeps his character's volume low. Barely opening his mouth when speaking, his voice is frequently an indecipherable mumble, his face, a stoic, blank slate. He's in hiding. And yet there are isolated moments when we see Ennis's pain, guilt, anger and utter hopelessness at being unable to solve a situation that is completely untenable. The impact hits us with the force of a stampede.     Love Story by R Shulman

"V" is viewer
« Reply #7586 on: October 05, 2006, 11:48:16 am »
"The rest of its 136-minute running time, Brokeback follows the lives of Ennis and Jack as they settle down with wives and children and contend with relationships that are increasingly loveless.  It proceeds with the same methodical patience but drips with ambient dramatic conflict that hooks the viewer with concern for all the players."

"W" is wool
« Reply #7587 on: October 05, 2006, 11:50:10 am »
When Ennis told Alma that Jack Twist was a fishing buddy instead of telling her that they had herded sheep together, he was trying to pull the wool over her eyes.

"X" is xcretion

A great deal of xcretion was going on on Brokeback Mountain.  I could list the by-product by animal if required.

Thanks for your generous offer, but I think it would be a wasted effort.
