"E" is endearment

"These first 30 minutes gave us the incredibly subtle courtship rituals between the two sheepherders as their attraction starts to simmer with the furtive glances while their macho swagger turns into amorous endearment.  Even while we knew what was about to transpire, it is all the more important for us to realise why both men needed each other."

In TS1, Jack was grasping at straws.

"H" is honorable

Society against them and their inner selves in turmoil, Jack and Ennis nevertheless maintained an honorable and mostly respectful attitude toward one another.

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

"I" is imagery

"Proulx's story caused a sensation when it appeared in The New Yorker eight years ago.  Its raw masculinity, spare dialogue and lonely imagery subverted the myth of the American cowboy and obliterated gay stereotypes.  It also felt like a sledgehammer to the chest."
-- Sean Smith, Newsweek

"J" is Johnny's

In the screenplay, Jack Twist listens to Johnny Cash on the pickup's radio while shaving.  The song playing is Johnny's number one hit "I Walk the Line".

After not seeing each other since Brokeback, Ennis and Jack were off to the motel in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

Ennis:  "I'm savin' for a place myself.  Me and Alma, we'll be gettin' married when I come down off this mountain." (drinks) "You goin' up with the sheep?"     [screenplay]

And a wave of a lamb's tail from myself to you!

"N" is nonwhite

"Some of us thought that this was the year that a gay-themed film could break through in the top category.  And, clearly, it almost did.  Ang Lee became the first nonwhite director to be honored as best director.  (I'm sure he earned the respect of every director in Hollywood when he pointedly forgot to individually thank his cast.)  Oscar voters may have thought that by giving Lee his Oscar, and rewarding Phillip Seymour Hoffman with the best actor award for his lisping, negative portrayal of Truman Capote, they had insulated themselves from charges of homophobia.  They were wrong."
