"L" is languorous
« Reply #9400 on: December 12, 2006, 01:06:03 pm »
"After a languorous opening third, the movie soars for the duration as it dramatizes the fallout and periodic reunions from the pair's first and only idyllic summer laboring together.  And alone." 
-- Mike Clark, USA Today   

def. = lacking spirit or liveliness

Here is some of the negativity in Annie Proulx's Brokeback Mountain.
  • no prospects

  • NO FIRE
  • NO SIGN
  • no right
  • no worse
  • no drawers
  • no socks
  • no instruction manual needed
  • no lack of noises
  • no queer (The actual quote is "I'm not no queer" - so this might be a positivity)
  • no English
  • no more damn lonesome ranches
  • no use out a me
  • no thoughts a doin it with another guy
  • no reins on this one
  • no broke-dick rider
  • no little thing that's happenin here
  • no real trouble, just widening water
  • no serious hard feelings
  • no pain
  • no fuckin idea how bad it gets
  • no news
  • no cake
  • no help out here
  • No way to get it right with him after that

"No more beans" is from the screenplays and movie.

"O" is ossification
« Reply #9403 on: December 12, 2006, 02:23:58 pm »
The sad ossification of Ennis at the end of the movie is shown by his shuffling of his feet when approaching the closet. In the book, it's shown in the prologue by his warming up of cold coffee and peeing in the sink.

def: a tendency toward or state of being molded into a rigid, conventional, sterile, or unimaginative condition

"R" is regret
« Reply #9406 on: December 12, 2006, 03:08:39 pm »

Ennis:  "To Alma and Kurt."
Alma Jr. smiles, and clinks her glass with her daddy's.
Ennis smiles back at his luminous daughter. But his smile can't hide his regret and longing, for the one thing that he can't have. That he will never have.   [2005 screenplay]

They shook hands in the choky little trailer office in front of a table littered with scribbled papers, a Bakelite ashtray brimming with stubs. [story]
