The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

"Ledger even moves through certain scenes like a man whose vertebrae are inflexibly welded together." 

-- Justin Vicari in Jumpcut:  A Review of Contemporary Media

Like the walls of Jericho, Ennis's inhibitions came tumbling down once Jack made his move that first night in the tent.

After moping around all day, Ennis' excitement at Jack's arrival was like he was given a new lease of life.

"...the divided peaks of Brokeback Mountain stand as a cruel metaphor for the balked passion that poisons the lives of Jack and Ennis -- and, finally, for death's casual divorce."

-- Kathleen Murphy, "Love and pain and the whole damn thing"

Mrs. John C. Twist behaved as nicely as a Sister Superior to Ennis.  But whenever I look at that woman I am reminded that her son went up on Brokeback Mountain with no socks - and there's John probably wearing condomation socks up to his armpits.  Oops.

When Jack and Ennis were on Brokeback, it was like the world was their oyster and "nothing seemed wrong."

A song by Oscar Hammerstein II reminds me of Ennis while he's waiting for reunion Jack to show in September '67: 

"I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm, I'm as jumpy as puppet on a string,
I'd say that I had spring fever, but I know it isn't spring."

(--from "It might as well be spring", State Fair, 1945)

Joseph Aguirre reprimanded Jack and Ennis like little schoolboys.

[Meryl]

Before the first night in the tent, Ennis and Jack got stewed to the gills.

[ProwlAmongUs]

The raw scene Ennis witnessed as a child, at his father's insistence, was committed by gay bashing thugs.
