"R" is respective

Ennis and Jack strove to accept the nature of their respective families and to be good fathers.  But it was harder to be a good husband.

     "How much is once in a while?" said Jack.  "Once in a while ever four fuckin years?"
     "No," said Ennis, forbearing to ask whose fault that was.  "I goddamn hate it what you're goin a drive away in the mornin and I'm goin back to work.  But if you can't fix it you got a stand it," he said.  "Shit.  I been lookin at people on the street.  This happen a other people?  What the hell do they do?"
     "It don't happen in Wyomin and if it does I don't know what they do, maybe go to Denver," said Jack, sittin up, turning away from him....

"T" is tortures

It tortures Ennis to watch Jack back out of his driveway after the divorce, but what else could he do?  Two guys livin' together - no way.

"V" is valuing

For Ennis, Earl's corpse is proof positive that he lives in a society none too keen on valuing gays or gay relationships.

"W" is wretched
« Reply #14235 on: July 26, 2007, 10:22:12 pm »
Saying goodbye to Jack after coming down the mountain the first time, Ennis felt about as wretched as he had ever felt - and it took a long time for the feeling to wear off.

"A" is amid

"...Brokeback Mountain is a poignant story of repression, isolation and longing.  These themes run deeply in every scene, from the single cowboy amid a massive herd of sheep to the lonesome mountain itself where the two lovers return periodically to retreat from the facades of their lives."

When Cassie got involved with Ennis, she had no idea that he would break her heart.
