eading wasn't easy for Ennis, far-sighted as he was. An examination with an
ophthalmoscope
would have established the fact that he needed glasses.

"
ereading the story after seeing the movie, I was stunned by how faithful the adaptation is, stunned because it feels so different from the story. Every incident in the story is in the movie (except for one, in which Jack's father
pisses
on him as a child to punish him for missing the toilet), but Ang Lee's traditional cinematic pictorialism changes the terms on which Proulx imagined those incidents."

olling with the punches on Brokeback, Ennis was afraid to come down from the mountain to take on the
role
of husband and father.

ight after Brokeback, Jack drives off with a bruise on his cheek and a sad expression in his eyes; while Ennis punches a wall and cries and pukes. It's hard to tell who is the
sorrier
of the two.

eflecting on
Gender Issues in Contemporary Cinema
, Fran Pheasant-Kelly wrote an article entitled "Spaces of Desire: Liminality and Abjection in Brokeback Mountain." In it she writes:
In a later visit to Lureen and Jack, Lureen’s father also insists on carving the turkey, and then repeatedly turns on the television against Jack’s wishes. Such scenes serve to further compromise Jack’s authority. In a parallel scene, Ennis’s role is similarly
usurped
, as Monroe (Scott Michael Campbell), Alma’s new partner, also carves the turkey. Not only does this indicate the loss of Ennis’s role as head of the household, but the close-up of the electric knife also highlights the artifice of domestic life. This superficiality further materialises in the female characters, in particular Jack’s wife, Lureen, who assumes an increasingly artificial appearance; her dyed blond hair and excessive jewellery are contiguous with the pretence of the life that she leads with Jack.

eflecting Ennis's emotional state after Jack's death, you could say he was a
widower.

Round 939!
We move along to the letter "S".
Each post will begin with a word that starts
with the letter "S" and include an unplayed word.
"I thought Brokeback Mountain was around where he grew up. But knowing Jack,
it might be some pretend place where the bluebirds sing and there's a whiskey spring."
A very active bluebird is going to assist us
with this round, so please be sure to include
the following symbol at the beginning of your post:
