"O" is obliterated

"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."
-- Sean Smith, Newsweek

"P" is pepper

Ext: Brokeback Mountain, Wyoming: Camp: Late evening: 1963:

The wind is picking up.
Ennis and Jack are gathering dishes, blankets, trying to grab their gear before it blows away.
The sides of the tent begin to buck and pitch.
Then hailstones begin to pepper down.   [screenplay]

Ennis quaked with fear and anger when getting beat up in front of the Black and Blue Eagle Bar.

Ennis and Jack had an instant rapport which gradually turned into close friendship and love.

"S" is shot

[Jack Twist] had shot an eagle, he said, turned his head to show the tail feather in his hatband. At first glance Jack seemed fair enough with his curly hair and quick laugh ...   [Proulx]

"T" is thorny

After Aguirre made his remark about "stemming the rose", it was a thorny situation for Jack.

"U" is urinative
« Reply #8966 on: November 27, 2006, 11:42:29 pm »
While drinking whiskey around the campfire, Jack frequently partook of a urinative interlude.  When combined with a flick of the belt buckle, it was a sight for sore eyes.

"V" is viewer's

"A slow-moving, button-lipped Western romance, Ang Lee's widescreen version of Annie Proulx's quick-moving, stub-tongued story worms its way into the viewer's consciousness to remain there, a shifting, analog reality, for days or even weeks." 
-- Michael Barnes, Austin American-Statesman

"W" is writing

Alma started to see the writing on the wall about Jack and Ennis' relationship when she saw the reunion embrace and Jack's postcards about "fishing trips."

"X" is xclaims
« Reply #8969 on: November 28, 2006, 08:39:16 am »
Jack xclaims "Jesus Ennis ?" after Ennis "stands as if heart shot, face gray and deep-lined. Fights a silent battle, grimaces, his eyes screwing shut, fists clenching, legs caving, he hits the ground on his knees.
Jack is frightened, thinks maybe it's a heart attack or else the overflow of an incendiary rage."   [screenplay]
