Jack and Ennis had a boisterous time around the campfire, what with sharing yocks and all.

"C" is cigar

Monroe was watching figure-skating and smoking a cheap cigar after Thanksgiving dinner. Compared to Ennis' rodeo stories and the raucus yelling in the kitchen, the entertainment from watching figure-skating was close but no cigar.

"D" is drowns
« Reply #9392 on: December 12, 2006, 10:41:53 am »
Ennis thinks of Jack and how he drowns while looking up:

The huge sadness of the northern plains rolled down on him. He didn't know which way it was, the tire iron or a real accident, blood choking down Jack's throat and nobody to turn him over.
 ...
He wanted to curse her for letting Jack die on the dirt road. [Proulx]

For such a grounded person, Ennis was famously flighty when it came to love.

Ennis can only grieve for Jack now, and for the times they could have had together.

"I" is International

Heath Ledger at the Berlin International Film Festival as quoted here:

"The movie's already exceeded any expectations I had.  I think pleasing Annie Proulx, the writer, and getting her nod of approval was the biggest success for me, for us."

Ennis joshes Jack when he says he thought his dad was right about rodeo cowboys being, um, ne'er-do-wells.

"K" is kindliest
« Reply #9399 on: December 12, 2006, 12:12:12 pm »
Jack's mom is easily the kindliest character in Brokeback Mountain, even though she has reason to be bitter and unforgiving.
