"Y" is yessing

Another way of yessing someone in the film is to say "sure enough".

Great Ennis words: firsthand and straight-and-narrow! I get it!

"Z" is Zappa
« Reply #6582 on: August 25, 2006, 12:39:45 pm »
"Set in an era before AIDS, support groups or that Jerry Springer episode, 'My Husband Has a Gay Cowboy Lover,' when Ennis' wife (Michelle Williams) discovers his secret, she represses it, heartsick for years, with no point of social reference to base any decisions on.  The isolation worked both ways, as the two lovers were just as bereft of support.  Jack laments to Ennis, who is growing apart from him, 'You don't know what it's like to get so little -- of something which you need so much!'  Which brings to mind a Zappa song -- 'He's just a cowboy for a day / Of course, his evening's not complete / Without some meat in the seat' -- with the somewhat ambiguous title, 'He's So Gay.'"

The Del Mar’s marriage was abrogated by judicial order.

"B" is bewildered

Ennis was bewitched, bothered and bewildered when it came to his love affair with Jack.

Ennis and Jack had plenty of opportunities to consume beans and elk on the mountain, but not enough to consume soup.

Dusk was falling when Ennis approached Jack and said, “You know I ain’t no queer.”

"E" is enraptured
« Reply #6588 on: August 25, 2006, 12:56:43 pm »
"...I saw the film to a sold-out house that started out laughing uncomfortably and ended enraptured.  Such is the power and greatness of Brokeback — it succeeds as a cosmic paean of love, an aesthetic triumph, and a natural and unpretentious unifier."

In Aguirre's office trailer, Jack and Ennis listened attentively to the foreman's instructions.
