Brokeback Mountain crossed from an art house film to a mainstream hit, thanks in part to critics xtolling its virtues and xcellent acting.

"Hell yes, I been. Where's the fuckin problem?"

Brokeback was the one place where both Jack and Ennis felt the most alive.

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

"C" is close

What Jack remembered and craved in a way he could neither help nor understand was the time that distant summer on Brokeback when Ennis had come up behind him and pulled him close, the silent embrace satisfying some shared and sexless hunger."  [story]

"D" is delusion
« Reply #7817 on: October 16, 2006, 11:18:13 pm »
In fact, generally, (Brokeback Mountain) is cruel to family. It seems to think family is a bourgeois delusion; Ennis's poor daughter ends up in a gaudy Trans Am owned by her fiance, a harbinger of roughneck disaster to come. Jack's boy is simply forgotten about; his ultimate pain -- and it will be considerable -- is not commented upon.

"F" is flavor

"Around that time Jack began to appear in his dreams, Jack as he had first seen him, curly-headed and smiling and bucktoothed, talking about getting up off his pockets and into the control zone, but the can of beans with the spoon handle jutting out and balanced on the log was there as well, in a cartoon shape and lurid colors that gave the dreams a flavor of comic obscenity."  [story]
