"L" is legible

As Alma warms to the subject of Ennis's fishing trip with Jack, the anxiety in Ennis's mind is legible on his face.

At Thanksgiving Alma is visibly pregnant and wearing a maternity dress.

Alma notches up down her argument to a personal level when she calls Jack "nasty".

"O" is ostracism
« Reply #8463 on: November 10, 2006, 07:03:54 pm »
Ennis feared (among other things) ostracism if his true relationship with Jack were to become public knowledge.

"P" is pain
« Reply #8464 on: November 10, 2006, 07:51:10 pm »
From the screenplay:

Alma:  (crying) "Get out, get out, get out!  (between sobs) Get out of my house, Ennis del Mar!  You hear me?  You get out!"

Alma is crying hard now, years of pain and anger welling up and spilling over.

"Q" is questionnaire
« Reply #8465 on: November 10, 2006, 07:58:12 pm »
Alma's Thanksgiving conversation with Ennis was more like a questionnaire:
  • Do you want to marry again?
  • You still go fishin' with Jack Twist?
  • How come you never brought us any fish?
  • Do you know how much you paid for that creel case?
  • Do you know I signed my note "love, Alma"?
  • How come you looked all perky?
  • Why did you lie about eating the browns?
  • Do you know I could scrape the pattern right off these plates?
  • D'you remember?
  • How come my note was never read?
  • How come that line was never wet?
  • Do you think you fooled me, Ennis?
  • Jack Twist?
  • Why did you go up there?

Alma is crying hard now, years of pain and anger welling up and spilling over.

"R" is relaxing

During all the goings-on in the kitchen, Monroe was relaxing with his cheap cigar and figure skating.

"Ennis takes the living room in about two strides, ignoring the startled Monroe, who is smoking a cheap after-dinner cigar."  [screenplay]

=compliment= Toast
Nice "Q".

"T" is turkey's
« Reply #8468 on: November 11, 2006, 02:20:23 pm »
Often overlooked in each of the Thanksgiving scenes in Brokeback Mountain is the turkey's pivotal role.  In spite of their importance to the scenes, their acting is minimal, understated and maybe even delicious.

"V" is velveteen
« Reply #8469 on: November 11, 2006, 04:03:57 pm »
After the yelling and the beating he experienced on Thanksgiving, Ennis probably craved Jack's velveteen voice and caress more than ever.

"Do you know I could scrape the pattern right off these plates?"
"...their acting is minimal, understated and maybe even delicious."

LMAO, Toast!
