It wasn't until Ennis left Brokeback that he identified what he was feeling about Jack.

"L" is lacks

Tragically, Ennis lacks the courage needed to defy convention and make a life with Jack.

"M" is magically

The log that Jack was splitting when Aguirre came up to tell him about Uncle Harold seemed to magically disappear after Aguirre checked out Ennis babysitting the sheep.

L.D. Newsome revealed he was a genuine nitwit during Thanksgiving dinner.
Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

Starting with their time together on Brokeback, Jack and Ennis's feelings were their onuses.

"P" is pressed

Jack pressed his luck in Tent Scene I and it paid off when Ennis pressed his flesh against him.

Ennis chided Jack for playing the harmonica after the sheep had been separated from the Chilean herd, but his smile radiated love.

The summer on the mountain was marked by a surfeit of beans, and a relative dearth of sentiment.

"U" is universally

Dylan Tichenor, editor of Brokeback Mountain , describes the film's emotional core: "Ang tried to make an American love story without any sort of modifier on it, and that's what he did. Sure, it's a gay love story. The characters are cowboys, but it's not what you might think. This movie is universally applicable. You forget it's about two guys; it's about the fate of two hearts. It transcends gender."  Avid
