All his life Ennis grieves for things lost:

His parents.
His childhood innocence.
His sexual freedom.
His lost partner in 1963.
His unborn son.
His marriage.
His lost potential.
His fishing buddy.

After Alma used the term Jack "Nasty", Ennis went off half-cocked by wrenching Alma's wrist, slamming out the door and getting the stuffing beaten out of him.

Alma made some nasty insinuations toward Ennis after the electric slicing was done.

In the short story, Ennis went to the Black and Blue Eagle bar after storming out of Alma and Bill's house, got juiced, had a short dirty fight and left.

The truck driver thought that Ennis was kickable after Ennis goes up and repeatedly hits the man through his open window. Def: Capable or deserving of being kicked.

Review: Brokeback Mountain midnight show - Dec '05

As with the story, there’s no wasted pathos here; things suddenly just change. I cried. I didn’t cry as much as I thought I would and possibly not as much as I did at the story, but I still totally cried. ..... The three ladies sitting to our left took out a full-sized Kleenex box and started passing it back and forth.

Peter McRobbie played John Twist, Jack's stubborn, skeleton-like father.

Today, November 7, in 1983, was the never-realized camping trip to Pine Creek that Jack and Ennis had planned in May of that year.

Jack Twist
1944 - 1983

The obituary for Jack Twist, like for the rest of us, lists the years and relatives; but there is so much more to a person and a life than that.

Jack quoted Ennis to Lureen, "whisky'll flow in the stream, Jack, that's real smart."
and Lureen quoted Jack back to Ennis: "and there's a whisky spring."

And bluebirds will sing.

L.D.'s remarks to Jack about being the "stud duck" were certainly platitudinous.
