"Z" is zootomic

Jack and Ennis had enough zootomic knowledge to know how to butcher elk, and to separate the edible from the undesirable portions.

"A" is absent-mindedly
« Reply #9552 on: December 17, 2006, 02:26:23 pm »
Jack said that money was a good reason to rodeo, and Ennis replied absent-mindedly, "if you don't get stomped winning it." But Jack was willing to take the risk of being stomped because he was not doin it for the money.

"C" is conformism

And what's the image of the real America through (Ennis' trailer) window? Why it's flat. It's a dreary rural wheatscape, if you will, with no features to interest the eye, no textures to assuage the soul. There's nothing interesting to it. It expresses someone's idea of repressed America, where gay men are forced to bury their personalities and violent conformism is the rule of the day.

"E" is endeavors

Alma endeavors to create a happy home life for Ennis and her daughters, a difficult undertaking, to say the least, largely due to the pain of knowing that she isn't the love of Ennis's life and that her dream of living happily ever after with him just isn't meant to be.

"I" is intentionally
« Reply #9559 on: December 18, 2006, 11:23:47 am »
"Jack marries a rich girl after a spirited but brief rodeo career, but Ennis does little of consequence with his life.  In fact, the film makes a point of emphasizing how boring Ennis is using this as a way of showing how empty his life has become without his soul mate constantly around.  In other words, the movie is almost intentionally boring in between vacation escapes the two men attend."
